The applicant requests relief from the following provisions of Zoning By-law 2511,as
amended:
•to permit a minimum 0.6 metre side yard width on the east side of the main building
and a minimum 2.3 metres side yard width on the west side of the main building,
whereas the by-law requires a minimum side yard width of 1.5 metres on one side
and 2.4 metres on the other side
•to permit a minimum 0.8 metre side yard width to an existing front porch on the
west side of the lot,whereas the by-law requires a minimum side yard width of
2.4 metres .
•to permit a maximum lot coverage of 37 percent,whereas the by-law permits a
maximum lot coverage of 33 percent
The applicant requests approval of these variances in order to obtain a building permit
to construct a two storey addition in the rear yard with an unenclosed covered second
storey balcony in the rear yard.The applicant also seeks zoning compliance for an
existing front porch to encroach into the required side yard.
Recommendation
The City Development Department considers the minimum 0.6 metre side yard width on
the east side of the main building,the minimum 2.3 metres side yard width on the west
'side of the main building,the minimum 0.8 metre side yard width to an existing front
porch on the west side of the lot and the maximum lot coverage of 37 percent to be
minor in nature,desirable for the appropriate development of the land and in keeping
with the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan and the Zoning By-law,and
therefore recommends Approval of the proposed variances,subject to the following
conditions:
1.That these variances apply only to the proposed second storey addition attached to
the main building,as generally sited and in accordance with the Department
recommended variances.

2.That the applicant demonstrates that the location of the proposed two storey addition
meets the spatial separation requirements of the Ontario Building Code to the
satisfaction of the Chief Building Official prior to receiving a building permit.
3.That the applicant obtains a building permit for the proposed construction by
September 4,2015,or this decision shall become null and void.
Background
Committee of Adjustment applications PICA 16/69 and PICA 45/01 were approved on
April 10,1969 and September 5,2001 to recognize an existing non-complying dwelling
on a non-complying lot,as well as existing setbacks to the main building and front
porch.Upon Staff's review of the application it was determined that the existing front
porch required a further side yard width reduction from 1.1 metres to 0.8 metres in order
to comply witt-l the Zoning By-law.

Appropriateness of the Application
Side Yard Width Variance for Proposed Two Storey Addition
•the intent of the minimum side yard width is to regulate the size,scale and
massing of the dwelling to ensure that proposed structures are compatible with
the existing community and provide an appropriate distance between structures
on abutting properties,to allow for pedestrian access for property maintenance
and appropriate lot grading and drainage
•the by-law requires a minimum side yard width of 1.5 metres on one side and
2.4 metres on the other
•the previous variance application (PICA 45/01)recognized side yard widths for
an existing detached dwelling
•the proposed two storey addition maintains the side yard widths of the existing
dwelling,which is a 2.3 metre side yard width on the west side and a 0.6 metre
side yard width on the east side
•the proposed side yard widths provide adequate separation distance between the
building and the property line to accommodate pedestrian access for property
maintenance,lot grading and drainage
•the requested variance is minor in nature and maintains the intent of the zoning
by-law
'September 4,2013
Page 3
Side Yard Width Variance for Existing Front Porch
•the reduction of the side yard width to 0.8 metres is to recognize an existing front
porch
•the 0.8 metre side yard width provides adequate distance to the property line,
and does not adversely impact access,lot grading,drainage or privacy of
adjacent properties
•the requested variance is minor in nature and maintains the intent of the zoning
by-law
Increase in Lot Coverage
•the intent of the maximum lot coverage requirement is to maintain an appropriate
amount of outdoor amenity area uncovered by buildings on a .Iot and to regulate
the scale and size of the buildings
•the increase in lot coverage to 37 percent will not change the character of the
subject property or the area
•due to the existing non-complying lot area,which was recognized.on this lot by
PICA 45/01,the lot is smaller than other "R4"lots
•no variances are required to reduce front or rear yard depth,therefore adequate
front and rear yard amenity space will be maintained
•the requested variance is minor in nature and maintains the intent of the zoning
by-law
