Description
The applicant is requesting a minor variance from Zoning By-law 150-85 to permit a secondary dwelling unit that is 45% of the total floor area whereas the by-law only permits the secondary unit to be a maximum floor area of 40% of the principal dwelling. The applicant is proposing a one bedroom secondary dwelling unit in the basement of the existing bungalow. The subject property meets the lot area, frontage, and open landscaping requirements for a secondary dwelling unit. This variance was circulated in October in association with file A35/19. A legislative interpretation requires a decision by the Committee of Adjustment at the upcoming meeting.
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.
