General Policy 2
General Policy 2 of the Strategic Plan requires preserving the appearance of existing residential areas and ensuring alterations result in safe and convenient layouts. The officer found the off-road parking improved the site by providing parking where none existed, with visibility splays to the southeast meeting standards and northwest matching existing accesses. No adverse impact on residential character or safety was identified.
