9. Townhouse Developments
   a) New townhouse developments are encouraged to cluster development on the site such that there are varying numbers of units per townhouse block. The preference is for the development to be primarily comprised of townhouse blocks with three or more attached units per block; however, townhouse blocks may be designed with two attached units per block provided that they appear and function as a single development (i.e. through complementary designs and colour schemes, shared private accesses and shared visitor parking areas). Townhouse developments may include single detached units provided that single detached units do not dominate the development.
   b) A plan showing the on- and off-street parking spaces provided for each unit and for the development as a whole shall be submitted as part of the required Development Permit.
   c) Those portions of a driveway located between the property line and the curb or boulevard shall be governed by the Subdivision and Development Servicing Bylaw No. 1000.

   e) Driveways shall be limited to a maximum width of:
   a. 6.0 m (19.7 ft) or 60% of the lot width, whichever is less, for lots with widths up to 12.0 m (39.4 ft); and
   b. 7.8 m (25.6 ft) for lots with widths over 12.0 m (39.4 ft).
   f) Wherever possible, lots and dwellings should be designed to allow for double car garages and driveways, provided that the garage does not visually dominate the façade of the dwelling, and provided that the driveway widths do not exceed those listed in Article e) above.
   g) The Director of Planning is authorized to approve Development Permits that vary the maximum width of a driveway where significant topographical or other site constraints warrant.
   h) The Director of Planning, with the consent of the Director of Engineering, is authorized to approve Development Permits that vary the minimum length of a required off-street parking space, where:

   a. The proposed parking space is perpendicular to a highway or access route in a bare land strata;
   b. Only one of the two required off-street parking spaces is located partially or entirely within that portion of the driveway in the road right-of-way;
   c. The encroachment of the parking space onto the road right-of-way will not conflict with the use of sidewalks, utilities, boulevards or other frontage improvements;
   d. The full required length of the parking space is provided, partially within the property and partially within the road right-of-way, as measured either from the edge of the curb or the edge of the sidewalk, whichever is less; and
   e. Future road widening is not anticipated.
