June 16, 2016 Project Number: UD16-0255 Wes Surdyka Wes Surdyka Architect Inc. 3645 Keele Street #108 Toronto, ON M3K 1M8 Dear Mr. Surdyka:

Re: Parking Review Study 70 Whitmore Road City of Vaughan

1. Introduction Cole Engineering Group Ltd. (Cole Engineering) has prepared this parking review letter in support of a proposed building modification at 70 Whitmore Road, in the City of Vaughan (the “City”). The proposed modification will increase the floor area by some 1,566 m² through the addition of a second floor and will comprise of an automotive body shop with warehouse and accessory office space, employing approximately 45 employees and providing 220 parking spaces.

This memorandum summarizes the rationale for a reduced parking supply for the proposed automotive body shop.

2. Zoning By-Law Parking Rates The City of Vaughan Zoning By-law 1-88 was reviewed to determine the parking requirement for the proposed automotive body shop. The By-law states that an “Autobody Repair Garage” requires 4.5 parking spaces per 100 m² of Gross Floor Area (GFA) or part thereof, plus one (1) for each motor vehicle kept for sale. Using By-law 1-88, the required parking for existing floor space and proposed additional floor space are identified in the table below.

Land Use Dwelling Units / GFA Parking Rate

Required Parking (Spaces)

Provided (Spaces)

Difference (Spaces)

Autobody Repair Garage 5,064 m² 4.5 spaces / 100 m² 228

220 78 Proposed Second

Floor Addition 1,566 m² 4.5 spaces / 100 m² 70

Total Parking 298 220 78

Based on the Zoning By-law, the proposed addition will require 70 parking spaces. With a proposed parking supply of 220 spaces, there is a parking deficit of 78 spaces.

A238/16

Wes Surdyka Architecture Inc. Page 2 June 16, 2016

3. Rationale for Reduced Parking Supply To meet the market demand of this business, additional floor area is required for automobile storage. This additional area will not be used for automotive body shop repair functions nor will it be used for employment functions.

The proposed building addition and change in use complies with City of Vaughan Zoning By-law requirements as designed, aside from providing the minimum parking supply based on GFA. Since the additional floor space will only be used for the storage of vehicles, the parking demand of this site will be more than met by the existing parking supply.

Based on the foregoing, a parking supply of 220 spaces will meet or exceed the parking demands of the proposed additional floor area, provided the space is used solely for the storage of vehicles. We trust this letter satisfactorily addresses all of the City’s concerns regarding parking for the proposed addition. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned.

Yours truly, COLE ENGINEERING GROUP LTD.
