The applicant sought a minor variance to reduce the required resident parking from 25 to 15 spaces for a proposed six-storey, 62-unit apartment building.
The Committee of Adjustment refused the application, finding that the requested variance failed three of the four statutory tests under subsection 45(1) of the Planning Act.
Specifically, the Committee found the variance was not desirable for the appropriate development of the land, did not maintain the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law, and was not minor, as insufficient technical evidence was provided to demonstrate the proposal would not create an unacceptable adverse impact on the neighbourhood.
