What is Development Variance Permit Number 2500-21 (DVP2500-21)?
The subject property is located at 5661 Highway 97 in Falkland of Electoral Area D and is legally described as Lot 5, Section 2, Township 18, Range 12, West of the 6th Meridian, Kamloops Division, Yale District, Plan 2075 except Plan H557. The lot is more particularly shown on the location map below:
There is currently one building on the subject parcel which contains a commercial space on the ground level and an accessory dwelling on the upper-floor. A Development Variance Permit (DVP2500-06) was issued in 2008 to vary the rear parcel line setback for specifically an antique store and secondary dwelling. Since the current owners now wish to change the commercial use to cannabis retail store, they have requested the following variance to Salmon Valley Land Use Bylaw Number 2500:
Section 2.10.2.2: Minimum siting of buildings, structures or uses from parcel lines: rear parcel line from 4.5 metres to 0.5 metres for only the existing principal building.
See the site plan below for the locations of the proposed variance.
