Division 5: Signs
67
Purpose
67
This Division is intended to regulate signs in order to:
(a)
balance the need for signage and expression with safety and
aesthetics;
(b)
support a hierarchy of signs which places informational and
directional signs at a higher order than commercial signs
through the regulation of the size, location and structure of
signs;
(c)
provide many opportunities for the identification of businesses
and buildings; and
(d)
prevent sign proliferation, to ensure that the effectiveness
of informational and identification signage is not undermined
through visual clutter.
68
Classification of Signs
68
All signs are classified as belonging to either Sign - Class A, Sign -Class
B, Sign - Class C, Sign - Class D, Sign - Class E, Sign - Class F or Sign
- Class G.
69
Development Permits
69
(1)
Unless specifically exempt from the requirement to obtain a
development permit, all signs, structures for signs and any
enlargement, relocation, erection, construction or alteration of a sign,
require a development permit.
(2)
A development permit is not required for routine maintenance and
repair, changing the copy, or reducing the copy area of a legally
existing sign.
(3)
All signs containing a digital display must obtain a development
permit.
70
Comprehensive Sign Program
70
(1)
The Development Authority may require that any or all signs placed
on a building or parcel comply with a comprehensive sign program
as set out in a development permit affecting the parcel where signs
are to be located.
(2)
The comprehensive sign program may set out a designated area
for signs attached to or projecting from the face of a building or for
any signs that are freestanding to be located on the parcel and any
proposed signs must be located in the designated area or location for
signs specified in the applicable development permit.
PART 3 - DIVISION 5: SIGNS
76
LAND USE BYLAW - 1P2007 July 23, 2007
(3)
The designated area and locations for signs referenced in subsection
(2) replace any rules regarding designated area or location contained
in this Division that would normally apply to the specific sign type.
(4)
Where a development permit application for a sign is proposed
that would conflict with the comprehensive sign program, the
Development Authority will evaluate the application as if the
proposed sign required a relaxation of the rules of this Bylaw.
(5)
A comprehensive sign program is only in place when a condition on
a development permit affecting the parcel where signs are to be
located clearly indicates that a comprehensive sign program has been
approved.
(6)
When the architectural and site drawings that form part of a
development permit indicate areas on a building wall for
future tenant signage or parcel locations for signs that will be
freestanding, these areas and locations are not to be interpreted as a
comprehensive sign program unless a condition on the development
permit clearly indicates that a comprehensive sign program has been
approved.
71
Comprehensive Sign Program for Pedestrian Corridors
71
Where a building is proposed, or an existing building is undergoing
exterior redevelopment on a parcel in one of the locations referenced in
subsection 89(2) the Development Authority must consider implementing
a comprehensive sign program in accordance with section 70 that would
require signage that is appropriately scaled for pedestrians and takes into
consideration the following:
(a)
a requirement for Projecting Signs or Canopy Signs to be
installed so that business identification signage is visible to
pedestrians on a public sidewalk;
(b)
the location and type of Fascia Signs that will be allowed on
the building wall;
(c)
the method of sign illumination; and
(d)
the number and locations for any Temporary Signs or
Freestanding Signs that would be located on the parcel.
72
Development Authority's Discretion
72
(1)
Where a type of sign is listed as a permitted use in a District, but
does not comply with all of the applicable rules of this Part, the
Development Authority's decision to relax a rule must be guided by
the:
(a)
test for a relaxation referenced in section 31;
(b)
purpose statement of this Part;
(c)
rules relating to opportunities for signage;
PART 3 - DIVISION 5: SIGNS
LAND USE BYLAW - 1P2007 July 23, 2007
77

(f)
extent to which the sign does not comply with the rule
proposed to be relaxed.
(2)
Where a type of sign is listed as a discretionary use in a District, the
Development Authority's exercise of discretion must be guided by
the:
(a)
test for a relaxation referenced in section 36 where the
relaxation of a rule is requested;
(b)
purpose statement of this Part;
(c)
rules relating to opportunities for signage;
(d)
character of the District where the sign is sought to be located;
and
(e)
amount of signage in the nearby surroundings.

Relaxations of Parking and Loading Stall Requirements
124
(1)
For uses in buildings listed on the City inventory of evaluated
historic resources, the Development Authority may consider a
relaxation of the minimum motor vehicle parking stalls, visitor
parking stalls, bicycle parking stall and loading stall requirements.
Consideration for relaxations must be based on:
(a)
satisfaction of the test for a relaxation referenced in section 31
or 36;
(b)
the existing ability of the site to accommodate motor vehicle
parking stalls, visitor parking stalls, loading stalls and
bicycle parking stalls; and
(c)
the number of motor vehicle parking stalls, visitor parking
stalls, loading stalls and bicycle parking stalls to be
relaxed.
(2)
The Development Authority may consider a relaxation in the
required motor vehicle parking stalls and visitor parking stalls
for uses when a transportation demand management measure is
approved by the Development Authority and is required to be
implemented as a condition in a development permit.
(3)
Any approved transportation demand management measure must:
(a)
be sustainable throughout the term of the development
permit; and
(b)
include requirements that must be incorporated into an
approved plan or condition on a development permit.
(4)
The Development Authority may consider a relaxation in the
minimum required motor vehicle parking stalls, visitor parking
stalls, loading stalls and bicycle parking stalls for a development
when:
(a)
the test for a relaxation referenced in either section 31 or 36 is
satisfied; and
(b)
the type of use, the size or shape of the parcel, or the
topographical constraints present practical difficulties in
accommodating the requirements of this Bylaw; when a
relaxation is given for this reason, it and the reasons must be
stated on the development permit; or

(c)
an applicant submits a parking study, as part of a
development permit application, that demonstrates that the

or use characteristics, and the conclusions of the study are
considered acceptable by the Development Authority.
(5)
The Development Authority may consider a relaxation to the
minimum required pick-up and drop-off stalls for a School
Authority - School when:
(a)
the proposed development is an addition to a School
Authority - School building existing on the effective date of
this Bylaw; or
(b)
the proposed development is a new School Authority -
School building proposed on a parcel designated as reserve
land existing on the effective date of this Bylaw; and
(c)
in the opinion of the Development Authority, it would
be difficult to provide the required pick-up and drop-off
stalls due to the parcel configuration, area of a parcel and
frontage.
(6)
The Development Authority may consider a relaxation of Section
116 where:
(a)
the test for a relaxation referenced in either Section 31or 36 is
satisfied;

Incentive Density Calculation Method
1332 (1)
The floor area ratio of the Commercial Residential District
(CR20-C20/R20) may be increased in accordance with the incentive
provisions of this Division to a maximum total of 20.0 floor area ratio.
(2)
The amount of additional gross floor area achieved by providing the
requirements of the public amenity items in Table 8 are calculated as
a floor area ratio, an Incentive Ratio or an Incentive Rate.
(3)
An Incentive Rate indicates that the amount of additional gross floor
area will be calculated by dividing the cost of the provided public
amenity item in Table 8, or the amount of contribution to a fund, by
the respective Incentive Rate as established by Council where the
following Incentive Rates apply:
(a)
Incentive Rate 1 is $296.00 per square metre;
(b)
Incentive Rate 2 is $242.00 per square metre;
(c)
Incentive Rate 3 is $194.00 per square metre; and
(d)
Incentive Rate 4 is $43.00 per square metre.
(4)
Public amenity items that must or may be provided to achieve
additional gross floor area are shown in Table 7.
(5)
Unless otherwise specified in this Part, a public amenity item for which
additional gross floor area has been achieved must be maintained
on the parcel for so long as the development exists.
(6)
The Development Authority must determine whether a proposed
amenity item is appropriate for the development.
(7)
Where a parcel contains a building designated as a Municipal
Historic Resource pursuant to the Historical Resources Act by a Bylaw
approved by Council:
(a)
the maximum floor area ratio is the floor area ratio that
exists at the time of designation;
(b)
for the purpose of calculating incentive floor area ratio only,
the difference between the maximum floor area ratio of a
building designated as a Municipal Historic Resource and a
floor area ratio of 10.0 may be transferred to another parcel
in accordance with the incentive provisions contained in Table
8, item 8.13;
(c)
the floor area ratio may be increased by up to additional 2.0
floor area ratio to a total of 12.0 where retention costs, which
include costs for repair, restoration and improvement of the
PART 13 - DIVISION 3: Commercial Residential District (CR20-C20/R20)
