Appeal allowed; minor variances for 7-unit residential infill development authorized subject to conditions.
The applicant appealed the Committee of Adjustment's denial of a minor variance application to facilitate a 7-unit multiple dwelling building.
The applicant sought variances for lot frontage, internal private roadway width, parking ratio, and landscape buffer widths.
The Tribunal heard uncontroverted expert planning and transportation evidence supporting the variances, which was corroborated by the municipal planning staff report.
The Tribunal found that the variances met the four tests under the Planning Act, being consistent with provincial policies, maintaining the general intent of the Official Plan and Zoning By-law, and being desirable and minor in nature.
The appeal was allowed and the variances were authorized subject to conditions.
