Minor variance for parking reduction authorized to permit new X-Ray laboratory in existing medical building.
The applicant appealed the Committee of Adjustment's refusal of a minor variance to reduce the required parking spaces from 93 to 51 to accommodate a new X-Ray laboratory in the basement of an existing medical building.
The Tribunal heard uncontradicted expert evidence in land use planning and traffic engineering that the existing parking supply, combined with Transportation Demand Management measures, would be sufficient.
The Tribunal found that the variance met the four tests under section 45(1) of the Planning Act, allowed the appeal, and authorized the variance.
