whereas the by-law does not permit accessory units in single attached dwellings.
The applicant requests approval of this minor variance application in order to obtain a building
permit for an accessory dwelling unit in the single attached dwelling.
Recommendation
The City Development Department considers the requested variance to be minor in nature,
desirable for the appropriate development of the land, and in keeping with the general intent

of the proposed variance, subject to the following conditions:
1. That the applicant obtain a building permit for the construction of an acce~sory dwelling
unit by March 29, 2018, or this decision shall become null and void.
Background

two parking spaces on the property where the accessory dwelling unit is located; whereas the
by-law requires a total of three parking spaces to be provided on the property where the
accessory dwelling unit is located .
. Staff has determined through the review of this application that the applicant is able to meet ·
the required total number of parking spaces for an accessory dwelling unit as required by
Zoning By-law 3036, as amended.
The existing driveway has a width of approximately 5.2 metres, which is of sufficient width to
park two vehicles side by side. With the two parking spaces available on the driveway and one
space provided within the garage, a total of three parking spaces can be accommodated on
