Minor variance for increased residential floor area ratio authorized following settlement between municipality and property owner.
The Town of Oakville appealed a Committee of Adjustment decision approving a minor variance to increase the maximum residential floor area ratio for a new two-storey dwelling.
Prior to the hearing, the parties reached a settlement slightly reducing the requested variance.
Based on uncontroverted expert land use planning evidence, the Tribunal found the amended variance met the four tests under s. 45(1) of the Planning Act.
The appeal was allowed in part to authorize the variance as modified by the settlement.
