The Chair will call to Order the evening's proceedings.

The Region of Niagara has requested a deferral regarding Minor Variance application A17/2023WL to allow for more time to engage with the applicant, NPCA, and the Township of West Lincoln regarding environmental requirements. 

Property Address: 239 St. Catharines Street (A & W)


A consent application has been applied to sever the A&W restaurant from the Village Square plaza to allow the owners of the business to operate independently from the plaza. There will be no physical changes occurring on the site as there is a proposed blanket easement for sanitary and storm service, and to allow continuous access through both the severed and retained parcels. It’s important to note, the retained lands (Village Square plaza) have also applied for a minor variance application (A16/2023WL) to address 3 zoning deficiencies resulting from the proposed severance.

Property Address: 239 St. Catharines Street


A minor variance application has been applied to recognize the zoning deficiencies following a related consent application (B092023WL) which would result in two separate parcels and would allow A&W to operate independently from the Village Square plaza. As a result of A&W being severed from the plaza, there are three variances required to recognize the zoning deficiencies of the retained lands (Village Square).

  1. The retained lands will have approximately 7% of landscaped open space whereas, 10% is the minimum required as identified in Table 17 in Part 7 of the Township’s Zoning Bylaw 2017-70, as amended.
  2. There will be 407 parking spaces on the retained lands following the consent, whereas 433 parking spaces is the requirement as per Table 6 in Part 3.12.6 of the Township’s Zoning Bylaw 2017-70, as amended.
  3. Table 7 in Part 3.12.6 of the Township’s Zoning Bylaw 2017-70, as amended, also identifies that 4% of the total number of parking spaces shall be barrier-free parking spaces. As 433 parking spaces is the requirement, 4% would result in 17 barrier free parking spaces being required on the retained lands however, following the consent 14 barrier free parking spaces will be available, being deficient of 3 barrier free spaces.

That, this Committee does now adjourn at the hour of _______ pm
