The applicant appealed the City of Mississauga Committee of Adjustment's refusal of a consent application and two minor variance applications to sever a corner lot into two lots for the construction of two detached dwellings.

The Tribunal found that the proposed lot frontages and areas were significantly undersized and out of character with the neighbourhood.

Relying on uncontested expert planning evidence, the Tribunal concluded that the minor variances did not meet the four-part test under s. 45(1) of the Planning Act and the consent application did not conform to the City's Official Plan under s. 51(24).

The appeals were dismissed.

The applicant appealed the Committee of Adjustment's denial of consent and minor variance applications to create a three-lot development with one detached and two semi-detached dwellings.

The Tribunal allowed the consent appeals and the minor variance for a reduced rear yard setback in principle, finding they represented appropriate residential intensification consistent with provincial policies.

However, the Tribunal denied the minor variances for increased flat roof height, finding they did not meet the general intent and purpose of the recently enacted zoning by-law.
