Appeal allowed and minor variances authorized to permit conversion of medical office to detached dwelling.
The appellants appealed the City of Burlington's refusal of minor variances required to legalize the conversion of an existing medical office to a detached dwelling.
Prior to the hearing, the parties reached a settlement.
Based on uncontroverted expert planning evidence, the Tribunal found that the variances met the four tests under section 45(1) of the Planning Act, were consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement, and represented good planning.
The appeal was allowed and the variances were authorized.
