Minor variances authorized for seasonal sports dome over existing tennis courts.
The applicant appealed the City of Ottawa Committee of Adjustment's refusal to grant minor variances to permit the construction of a seasonal air-inflated sports dome over existing tennis courts.
The requested variances involved building height, setback from the highwater mark, and development within a floodplain overlay.
The Ontario Land Tribunal allowed the appeal, finding that the uncontested expert evidence demonstrated the variances met the four tests under the Planning Act and were consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement.
