REQUESTED VARIANCE(S) TO ZONING BY-LAW #11-83:
|
Section |
Zoning Provision |
By-law Requirement |
Requested |
|
6.25(1) |
Setbacks from Waste Disposal Areas (WD) Zone |
No building or structure erected and used for human habitation shall be located closer than 500 m (1640 ft) from any area zoned for and containing a licensed waste disposal site either within or without the limits of the Corporation. |
The proponent is proposing the creation of a new dwelling unit within the 500 metre (m) setback buffer, at approximately 165 m measured from the property line of the waste disposal site. |
|
8.16(2) |
Secondary Dwelling Units |
A secondary dwelling unit is permitted in any detached, semi-detached or duplex dwelling, in any zone within a settlement area that permits any one or more of these dwelling types provided:
(b) it is not a standalone, principal unit capable of being severed;
(d) it only exists along with, and must be contained within the same building as, its principal dwelling unit. |
The proponent is proposing a Secondary Dwelling Unit over an existing garage that would be ancillary to a detached dwelling and therefore separate and not contained within the same building as its principal (existing) dwelling unit.
|
|
8.16(5) |
Secondary Dwelling Units |
(5) If located at or above grade, the secondary dwelling unit must not be greater in size than an amount equal to 40% of the gross floor area of its principal dwelling unit. If located in a basement, it may occupy the whole of the basement.

The proponent is proposing a Secondary Dwelling Unit above an existing garage that would technically exceed the 40% of the gross floor area of the principal dwelling unit, at approximately 56%. |
