PURPOSE
An application pursuant to Section 4.12 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:

Holborn Holdings Ltd.

DE No. 408152

No. of Spaces for Payment-in-lieu: 7
Recommended Amount/Space: $14,500
Total Payment-in-Lieu Amount: $101,500
A review of this application found that payment-in-lieu is appropriate, given the site constraints and the lack of opportunity to provide parking by another means.
