Minor variance to reduce apartment resident parking requirement authorized as meeting the four tests.
The appellant appealed the Town of Halton Hills Committee of Adjustment's refusal of a minor variance application to reduce the minimum resident parking requirement from 1.5 to 1.4 spaces per apartment dwelling unit for a proposed residential development.
The Tribunal heard uncontroverted expert evidence from land use and transportation planners, who testified that the reduction was supported by parking studies, sales data, and proximity to transit.
The Tribunal found that the requested variance met the four tests under section 45(1) of the Planning Act, representing good transportation planning with no adverse impacts.
The appeal was allowed and the variance authorized.
