Minor variance appeal allowed to permit increased townhouse intensification near a major transit station.
The appellant appealed the City of Toronto Committee of Adjustment's refusal of a minor variance application to permit an increase from 35 to 52 townhouse units, along with increased lot coverage and building height.
The Tribunal allowed the appeal in part on an interim basis, finding that the requested variances met the four tests under s. 45(1) of the Planning Act.
The Tribunal preferred the appellant's planning evidence that the proposal represented appropriate residential intensification near a major transit station area and that the City's concerns were more appropriately addressed at the site plan and subdivision stages.
