Minor variance for front-yard parking to accommodate additional residential units authorized on appeal.
The appellant appealed the municipal Committee of Adjustment's refusal of a minor variance to allow front-yard parking for single-detached homes designed to accommodate two Additional Residential Units (ARUs).
The municipality did not attend the hearing but its planning staff report supported the variance.
The Tribunal found that the variance met the four tests under the Planning Act, noting that it aligned with provincial housing objectives and corrected an inadvertent omission in the updated zoning by-law.
The appeal was allowed and the variance authorized.
