Minor variances authorized to permit conversion of an existing four-plex into an eight-plex.
The appellant appealed the City of London Committee of Adjustment's decision refusing a minor variance to reduce the minimum lot area per unit required to convert an existing four-plex into an eight-plex.
The City did not contest the appeal.
Relying on uncontroverted expert planning evidence, the Tribunal found that the proposed variances met the four tests under section 45(1) of the Planning Act, as they maintained the general intent and purpose of the official plan and zoning by-law, were desirable for the appropriate development of the land, and were minor in nature.
The appeal was allowed and the variances were authorized.
