and

 Heritage Designation Bylaw No. 8236, 2020 for 404 Second Street (HER00754)

WHAT ARE THESE BYLAWS ABOUT?

An application has been submitted for a Heritage Revitalization Agreement to regularize and expand the existing non-conforming commercial use of the building with a new basement, side and rear addition. Zoning Bylaw relaxations would be required to increase density and site coverage; reduce front, rear (existing) and side yard (right side existing) setbacks; reduce parking (maintaining existing configuration); and allow commercial uses limited to business/professional offices, cafés/restaurants (excluding drive-in/through), personal services (excluding dry cleaning, electrical appliance repair, launderettes), and retail (excluding convenience stores open past 10pm/before 7am). The current residential unit would continue to be permitted. Sign Bylaw relaxations would include allowing commercial signage and re-creation of the historic roof sign. In exchange, the building would be restored and legally protected.
