Purpose of the Proposed Minor Variance:

The property at 9 Tupper Street is an existing lot of record approximately 561.51 square metres (0.14 acres) in size with approximately 13.178 metres (43.21 feet) of frontage on Tupper Street and approximately 42.64 metres (140 feet) of frontage on Centre Street.

The owner of the property (4th Line Theatre) converted the single detached dwelling to retail and office/administration space. The first storey accommodates a retail area, a meeting room, and a mixed retail and administration space. The second storey includes storage and administrative spaces.

The property is zoned Core Mixed Use Three (CMU3) as illustrated on Map E-2A to By-law No. 2018-58, as amended. The property is also subject to the Floodplain Overlay (f212.7) and the Special Policy Area regulations.
