OPPORTUNITY TO
BE HEARD
6:00 pm on August 29, 2016
in Council Chamber
City Hall, 511 Royal Avenue, New Westminster
DEVELOPMENT VARIANCE PERMIT NO. DVP00609
(709 Cumberland Street)
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
A proposal has been submitted to vary Zoning
Bylaw regulations 310.10, 310.14, and 310.20 for
the property at 709 Cumberland Street. The
property is zoned Single Detached Dwelling
Districts (RS-1).
WHAT IS DEVELOPMENT VARIANCE PERMIT
DVP00609 ABOUT?
A development variance permit is required to
allow a minimum front yard setback at 13 feet
(3.97 metres), a front yard projection at 6 feet
(1.83 metres) and a garage height of 20 feet (6.1
metres) and 2 storeys. (See detail on back.) The
DVP would be a first step to consolidating 705 and
709 Cumberland Street (outlined in bold on the
adjacent map) back into one property and the
removal of the related heritage bylaws.
HOW DO I GET MORE INFORMATION?
A copy of the proposed Development Variance Permit, supporting staff reports and relevant background
documentation may be inspected at the Development Services Department (Planning) at City Hall 10 days
prior to the Opportunity to be Heard, from August 15, 2016 to August 29, 2016. City Hall hours are
Monday between 8:00 am and 7:00 pm, Tuesday through Friday between 8:00 am and 5:00 pm (except
statutory holidays).
HOW CAN I BE HEARD?
The public is welcome to attend the Opportunity to be Heard on August 29, 2016 at 6:00 pm, or send a
