Minor variances for parking reductions and structured parking authorized for a mixed-use development.
The applicant appealed the City of Waterloo Committee of Adjustment's denial of minor variances required to construct a three-storey mixed-use development with 32 residential units and commercial space.
The requested variances included reductions in residential and commercial parking requirements, a smaller loading space, and permission for at-grade structured parking.
The Ontario Land Tribunal allowed the appeal, finding based on uncontested expert planning and transportation engineering evidence that the variances met the four tests under the Planning Act, were consistent with provincial policy, and represented appropriate intensification.
The variances were authorized subject to conditions.
