Minor variance for driveway widening authorized to accommodate safe access for residents with mobility issues.
The applicant appealed the Committee of Adjustment's denial of a minor variance to permit a driveway width of 7.5 metres, exceeding the maximum permitted width of 7.0 metres.
The applicant sought the variance to accommodate an additional vehicle and ensure safe access for residents with mobility issues.
The City opposed the variance, arguing it failed the four tests under the Planning Act and would negatively impact the streetscape.
The Tribunal allowed the appeal, finding the variance was minor, met the four tests, did not pose safety risks, and maintained sufficient permeable landscaping.
