An application pursuant to Section 4.11 of the Parking By-law has been received to waive the number of parking spaces required by Section 4.1.2 of the By-law and to make payment-in-lieu. The particulars of the application are as follows:

Address: 302 Davie Street ( formerly 1200 Hamilton St)
Applicant: Mr. Alan Woolf
Zoning: CD-1
DE No. 403474

No. of Spaces for Payment-in-lieu: 14 (CD-1 allows a max of 18 spaces for pay in lieu)
