Description
The applicant is requesting an interpretation of Zoning By-law 150-85 under Section 45(2) (b) of the Planning Act to permit townhouse dwellings to have frontage on a private street where the Zoning By-law requires frontage on a public street unless the lot is held in single ownership in a standard condominium. As background, standard condominiums are an ownership type where the unit owner only owns the dwelling unit. Those units are located on one lot under collective condominium ownership. The proposed development is a vacant land condominium which intends to create multiple lots. In a common elements condominium, each owner owns a dwelling unit on a separate saleable lot, with additional lands being owned in common such as the roads, visitor parking, landscaping, etc. Currently s. 2.1.13.1 of the Zoning By-law only applies to standard condominium developments for townhouses on one overall lot. Therefore, a minor variance is being requested to permit the zoning to be applied to each unit in the 15 unit townhouse development. The development has received site plan approval under file SP19/12 and a vacant land condominium is currently being processed. The subject lands were previously severed under file B9/12 and associated minor variances under file A35/12.
What this kind of application is
The Committee of Adjustment decides minor variances (small exceptions to the zoning by-law, such as a reduced setback or an extra unit) and consents (severing a lot, or adding an easement). Nearby owners are mailed a notice and can speak at the hearing.
