Appeal allowed and minor variances authorized for 16-unit low-rise apartment building.
The appellant appealed the City of Ottawa Committee of Adjustment's decision to refuse one of four requested minor variances for a proposed 16-unit low-rise apartment building.
The refused variance sought a reduced rear yard setback.
The Ontario Land Tribunal heard unrefuted expert planning and architectural evidence supporting all four variances.
The Tribunal found that the requested variances, including the reduced rear yard setback, met the four tests under s. 45(1) of the Planning Act, were consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement, and conformed to the City's Official Plan.
The appeal was allowed and all variances were authorized.
