Minor variances for three-unit townhouse development authorized as meeting the four tests under the Planning Act.
The appellant appealed the City of Kitchener Committee of Adjustment's refusal of minor variance applications to permit the construction of three street townhouse units on a vacant corner lot.
The variances sought relief from front, rear, and exterior side yard setbacks.
The Tribunal heard uncontroverted expert planning evidence that the proposed infill development was compatible with the established neighbourhood and met the four tests under section 45(1) of the Planning Act.
The Tribunal allowed the appeal and authorized the variances, subject to conditions requiring a Tree Preservation Plan.
