Comment
Official Plan and Zoning By-law
Pickering Official Plan — "Rural Settlements — Rural Hamlet"
Zoning By-law 3037, Amended by 2677/88 — "HMR3" — Hamlet Residential Zone
Background
The subject property is located within the Whitevale Heritage Conservation District (Whitevale
HCD), on the south side of Whitevale Road, east of Golf Club Road. The owners of the
property have recently completed construction to renovate and add to the existing heritage
house. A building permit and heritage permit were obtained for the house renovations.
Report P/CA 61/18
October 3, 2018 15
Page 2
A detached garage on the property has since been demolished and new garage has been
constructed without building permits or a heritage permit. The owners of the property are
requesting a minor variance to permit a maximum height of 4.38 metres for anexisting
detached garage, whereas the zoning by-law permits a maximum height of 3.5 metres.
On August 1, 2018 the Committee of Adjustment tabled Minor Variance Application
P/CA 61/18, at the request of City staff. The staff report requested that the application be
tabled until Heritage Planning staff and the Heritage Pickering Advisory Committee (Heritage
Pickering) have reviewed the application and a heritage permit is obtained.
Heritage Permit
The subject property is located within the Whitevale Heritage Conservation District (Whitevale
HCD), which is protected under Part V of the Ontario Heritage Act. The purpose and intent of
the Whitevale District Plan and Guide is to guide the careful 'management and protection of the
area's heritage resources including buildings and landscape features. Construction of a new
accessory building such as a garage requires that the applicant obtain a Heritage Permit.
At the Heritage Pickering meeting held on August 22, 2018, a Heritage Permit application for
the detached garage was presented. Though staff and Heritage Pickering were not afforded
the legislated review of the application prior to construction, some design details of the garage
do meet the Whitevale District Guidelines and therefore it was recommended that landscape
works be undertaken to reduce the visual prominence of the new detached garage. Heritage
Pickering recommended that the applicant satisfy the City Development Department regarding
the submission and approval of a landscape plan. The applicant shall introduce new plantings
such as trees and mid height shrubs of native and/or heritage species in order to provide a
visual buffer to the garage so that it is read as part of the visual backdrop rather than a
principle structure.
The applicant submitted a revised landscape plan which reduces the gravel driveway to a
single lane, new sod is proposed in the existing gravel area, four Kentucky Coffee trees are
proposed along the driveway and four White Spruce trees are placed at a location to provide
fora visual buffer to the garage. The trees are native and heritage species.
Staff and Heritage Pickering recommended that the Heritage Permit application be approved to
recognize the existing detached garage and that alllandscape works as shown on the revised
Landscape Plan shall be completed to the satisfaction of the City Development Department by
November 1, 2018, and prior to the issuance of the Building Permit for the detached garage.
Maximum Building Height Variance
The applicants are requesting a .minor variance to permit a maximum height of 4.38 metres
for an existing detached garage, whereas the zoning by-law permits a maximum height
of 3.5 metres..
1 6Report P/CA 61/18 October 3, 2018
Page 3
The general intent of the zoning by-law and official plan have been maintained. The intent of
the zoning by-law provision requiring a maximum height for accessory buildings is to ensure
that the accessory use such as a garage is for personal use or personal storage reasons only,.
to maintain the dwelling as the principal structure, and to minimize negative impacts_ of height
of such structures on neighbouring properties and on the streetscape. The property is
designated as "Rural Settlements — Rural Hamlet" in the Pickering Official Plan, which permits
residential and accessory uses. The garage which is for personal use remains secondary to
the principal dwelling and the increased height would not negatively impact the enjoyment of
neighbouring properties or the streetscape.
The minor variance is minor in nature and minor in terms of impact. The increased height of
the garage causes minimal impact on the enjoyment of space on neighbouring dwellings which
are not in close proximity to the subject property. The streetscape is not negatively impacted
due to vegetation surrounding the property and the placement of the garage. The garage is in
the same location as the previous garage which was set back from the road and located
further from the road than the dwelling.
The minor variance is desirable and appropriate for the use of the land. The new garage
presents a design approach that seeks to visually tie the new building to the principle
residence/heritage building. The placement of the new garage on the footprint of the previous
garage at the rear of the lot and the use of the same building materials used on the restoration
of the principle residence follow the guidance given in the Whitevale District Plan and Guide.
The landscape plan that staff and Heritage Pickering have reviewed seeks to minimize the
impact of the height of the garage by installing new landscaping and minimizing thewidth of
the driveway.
The requested variance is minor in nature, desirable for the appropriate development of the
land and maintains the intent and purpose of the Official Plan and Zoning By-law.

Report to
Committee of Adjustment
Application Number: P/CA 65/18
Date: September 12, 2018
From: Deborah Wylie, MCIP, RPP
Principal Planner, Development Review
Subject: Committee of Adjustment Application P/CA 65/18
D. Bowler & M. Tayler
1305 Cornell Court
Application
The applicant requests relief from Zoning By-law 3036, as amended by By-law 3385/90:
to permit an accessory building (shed) to be located in the north side yard; whereas the
by-law requires all accessory buildings which .are not part of the main building to be
erected in the rear yard
• to permit an accessory building (shed) greater than 1.8 metres in height to be setback
a minimum of 0.31 of a metre from the north lot line; whereas the by-law requires
accessory structures greater than 1.8 metres in height to be setback a minimum of
1.0 metre from all lot lines
• to recognize an accessory building (cabana) greater than 1.8 metres in height to be
setback a minimum of 0.7 of a metre from the south lot line and 0/5 of a metre from
the east lot line; whereas the by-law requires that accessory structures greater than
1.8 metres in height to be setback a minimum of 1.0 metre from all lot lines
The applicantrequests approval of these variances in order to permit an accessory building
(shed) in the side yard and to recognize an accessory building (cabana) in the rear yard.
Recommendation
The City Development Department considers the requested variances 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 condition:
1. That these variances apply only to the existing accessory buildings (shed and cabana), as
generally sited and outlined on the applicant's submitted plans and existing on the day of
this report (refer to Exhibit 2).
Report P/CA 65/18 September 12, 2018

Background .
Due to the circulation of an incorrect notice, P/CA 65/18 which was scheduled to be heard at
the August 22, 2018 Committee of Adjustment Meeting is rescheduled to be heard at the
September 12, 2018 Committee Meeting. In order to provide appropriate notice for the
application under the requirements of the Planning Act staff recommended the,application be
deferred and a revised notice sent out.
The provision in the original notice stated that "accessory structures must be set back a
minimum of 0.6 of a metre from all lot lines". The correct provision is "accessory structures.
greater than 1.8 metres in height shall be setback a minimum of 1.0 metre from all lot lines".
The subject accessory building is approximately 2.8 metres in height.
At the August 22, 2018 Committee Meeting some concerns regarding the dimensions of the
subject shed were raised. Since the August 22 meeting, staff has conducted a further review
of the proposal, including a site visit with staff from the By-law Enforcement Division to
re -measure the dimensions and setbacks of all accessory buildings on the property. The
dimensions and setbacks provided in this reporthave been confirmed by staff and the
applicant.
The resulting review found that the other accessory building on the property (cabana) located
in the rear yard, is setback approximately of 0.7 of a metre from the south lot line and 0.75 of a
metre from the east lot line; whereas a setback of 1.0 metre is required. A variance to permit
the accessory building (cabana) has been added to this application and included in the
Revised Notice.
Comment
Official Plan and Zoning By-law
Pickering Official Plan — "Urban Residential Areas — Low Density Areas" within the Liverpool.
Neighbourhood
Zoning By-law, 3036, as amended by By-law 3385/90 — "S3"
Appropriateness of the Application
Accessory Building (Shed) Located in the Side Yard and Reduced Setback Variance
The intent of the requirement for accessory buildings to be located in the rear yard, is to
maintain a visually attractive streetscape, maintain adequate buffer space between buildings
on a property and street activity and avoid adverse impact on the streetscape. The intent of
the zoning by-law for accessory buildings to provide a minimum setback from lot lines is to
ensure that adequate space is provided for maintenance; that the eaves/overhangs do not
encroach on adjacent properties, and that the visual impact on adjacent properties is minimized.
26
Report P/CA 65/18
September 12, 2018
Page 3
The by-law requires all accessory structures to be located in the rear yard and that accessory
structures greater than 1.8 metres in height are to be set back a minimum of 1.0 metre from all
lot lines. The applicant has constructed a shed located in the side yard having a height of
approximately 2.8 metres, an area of approximately. 9.6 square metres and a setback 0.31. of a
,metre from the north lot line. The applicant has indicated that the subject shed replaced a
previouslyexisting shed with the same side yard setback but a lower height. As the shed is
less than 10.0 square metres in size, no building permit was required for its construction.
The shed has a setback of over 15.0 metres from the front lot line and is well set back from the
street. The accessory building has no impact on the streetscape, as it is fully screened from
the street due to a fence with a gate and vegetation being located between it and the front lot
line.
The eaves/overhang of the subject shed is flush with its north wall and is peaked to ensure that
rainwater will flow onto the subject property and not onto adjacent lands. The area along the
north property line is graded to slope down'from the property line towards the dwelling. In their
initial review of this application, Development Services recommended that the shed be set
back a minimum of 0.6 of a metre from the lot line in accordance with Engineering Services Lot
Grading Criteria. Based on the review of additional information regarding the location of the
shed with respect to the property line, Development Services has confirmed that the shed is
not expected to have an adverse effect on neighbouring properties and have revised their
comments. Development Services has no objection to the location of the shed.
The shed is partially screened by an existing fence along the north side yard, with the peaked
roof being visible over the fence line. The existing dwelling is set back between 4.0 metres
and 6.8 metres from the north side yard. The shed and a path to the rear yard are located.
between the dwelling and the north side yard. The view from adjacent properties is of the side
wall of the .dwelling and the roof of the shed over the fence. The existing height of the
accessory structure appears to have minimal visual impact on adjacent properties, which
would not be substantially altered by increasing the setback from the property line to the shed.
At a setback of 1.0 metre, the peaked roof would still be visible.
Accessory Building (Cabana) Setback Variance
The intent of the zoning by-law for accessory buildings toprovide a minimum setback from lot
lines is to ensure that adequate space is provided for maintenance, that the eaves/overhangs do
not encroach oh adjacent properties, and that the visual impact on adjacent properties is
minimized.
The by-law requires accessory structures greater than 1.8 metres in height to be set back a
minimum of 1.0 metre from all lot lines. The applicant has constructed a cabana having a
height of approximately 3.3 metres setback 0.7 of a metre from the south lot line and 0.75 of a
metre from the east lot line. The cabana is less than 10.0 square metres in size and did not
require a building permit.
Report P/CA 65/18 September 12, 2018
Page 4
The current location of the cabana appears to provide for adequate space to maintain the
accessory structure on all sides. The eaves do not encroach onto adjacent properties and it
appears that the location of the accessory structure will ensure that roof drainage will stay on
the subject property. The existing shed has minimal visual impact on abutting properties as it
is located in the south east corner of the property and is partially screened by a privacy fence
to the east and south and mature trees to the east.
Staff is of the opinion that the requested variances are minor in nature, desirable for the
appropriate development of the land and maintains the purpose and intent of the Official Plan
and Zoning By-law.

From: Deborah Wylie, MCIP, RPP
Principal Planner, Development Review
Subject: Committee of Adjustment Application P/CA 83/18
M. Siwak
1700 Conacher Crescent
Application
The applicant requests relief from Zoning By-law 3036, as amended by By-law 4365/93 to
permit a partially covered platform (deck) 0.25 metres in height above grade to project a
maximum of 6.1 metres into the required rear yard, whereas the by-law requires uncovered
steps or platforms not exceeding 1.0 metre in height to project not more than 1.5 metres into
any required front or rear yard.
The applicant requests approval of this variance in order to obtain a building permit for a
partially covered deck. The east portion of the deck will feature a roof, however the entire
structure will be unenclosed.
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
and purpose of the Official Plan and the Zoning By-law, and therefore recommends Approval
of the proposed variance, subject to the following conditions:
1. That this variance apply only to the subject platform (deck), as generally sited and
outlined on the applicant's submitted plans (refer to Exhibits 2 & 3).
2. That the applicant obtain a building permit for the proposed construction by
October 4, 2019, or this decision shall become null and vqid.
Background
The applicant began construction on a partially covered deck which projects approximately
6.1 metres into the required rear yard setback. The applicant has since been ordered to stop
all construction activities and was directed to obtain a building permit. A minor variance
application was submitted due to the non-compliance of the partially covered platform (deck).

Official Plan and Zoning By-law
Pickering Official Plan — "Urban Residential Areas — Low Density Area" within the Brock Ridge
Neighbourhood
Zoning By-law 3036, as amended by By-law 4365/93 = "S2"
Appropriateness of the Application
Partially Covered Platform Projecting into the Required Rear Yard Variance
The intent of the rear yard setback is to ensure adequate private amenity area is provided
within the rear yard, appropriate setbacks are provided to protect the privacy of abutting
owners, and to provide appropriate access to allow maintenance, lot grading and drainage.
The subject property is a corner lot which fronts onto Conacher Crescent, the east side yard
abuts Southcott Road, the rear of property abuts an institutional use (school), and the west
side yard abuts a residential property.
Zoning By-law 3036, as amended by 4365/93, states that uncovered steps or platforms not
exceeding 1.0 metre in height may not project more than 1.5 metres into the required rear
yard. The "S2" zone from the above mentioned Zoning By-law requires a 7.5 metre rear yard
setback. The subject platform, measuring 7.3 metres in length, projects approximately
6.1 metres into the required rear yard setback.
A rear yard setback of 1.47 metres is being maintained from the rear property line to the edge
of the deck. Within the 1.47 metre setback is a variety of vegetation including two large
coniferous trees which adequately screen the deck from the abutting property to the rear (school).
The westerly neighbour at 1702 Conacher Crescent has tall plantings along the shared fence
which appropriately screens the deck. Furthermore, the roof of the deck is set back
approximately 8 metres from the shared property line. As a result, the deck's impact to this
neighbour would be limited regardless of the presence of the existing screen.
The property slopes down towards the exterior side yard thus the deck is situated at a higher
grade than Southcott Road. As a result, the roof of the deck is visible from Southcott Road.
The existing tall fence, vegetation, and 10.3 metre flankage yard setback all contribute towards
mitigating the impact the deck has on the residential properties fronting onto the east side of
Southcott Road.
The proposed projection of the deck would still allow for adequate space for maintenance and
would ensure an adequate private amenity space in the rear yard. Privacy for all neighbours
can still be maintained. As such, the requested variance is minor in nature, desirable for the
appropriate development of the land and maintains the intent and purpose of the Official Plan
and Zoning By-law.

Appropriateness of the Application
Covered Platform Projecting into the Required Rear Yard Variance
The intent of the minimum rear yard setback is to ensure an adequate private amenity area is
provided within the rear yard, appropriate setbacks are provided to protect the privacy of
abutting property owners, and to provide appropriate access to maintenance, lot grading and
drainage.
The applicant proposes to permit an existing covered platform measuring 3.65 metres in width
and 3.65 metres in length. Zoning By-law 3036, as amended by 2015/85, states that
uncovered steps or platforms not exceeding 1.0 metre in height above grade may not project
more than 1.5 metres into the required rear yard. In the case of the "S2" zone, the required
rear yard setback is 7.5 metres.
The deck maintains an appropriate size and contributes to the private amenity area within the
rear yard. Adverse impacts to the rear yard neighbours will be limited for the fact that their
properties are at a significantly higher grade than the subject property. Adequate buffer spaces
from the rear and both side yard property lines have been maintained with soft landscaped
areas. As such, there will be limited impact towards the privacy of neighbours and appropriate
access to maintenance, lot grading and drainage will be maintained.
Covered platforms are not permitted in the Zoning By-law as of right. Given the fact that the
rear yard neighbours are situated at a significantly higher grade and that adequate buffer
spaces have been maintained from both side yards, the existing cover proposes limited
adverse privacy and visual impacts to the immediate neighbours.
The requested variance is minor in nature, desirable for the appropriate development of the
land and maintains the intent and purpose of the Official Plan and Zoning By-law.

Appropriateness of the Application
Uncovered Platform (Deck) Projecting into the Required Side and Rear Yards
The intent of the side and rear yard requirements are to ensure adequate amenity space is
provided within the rear yard and appropriate setbacks are maintained to protect the privacy of
neighbouring properties.
Zoning By-law 3036 requires a minimum side yard setback of 1.8 metres and a minimum rear
yard setback of 7.5 metres, however allows a deck to project a maximum of 1.5 metres into the
rear yard and a maximum of 0.5 metres into the side yard (S. 5.7.b). Additionally, decks are
permitted to be constructed a maximum of 1.0 metres in height above grade.
The applicant proposes to replace an existing deck and stairs on the west side and rear of the
dwelling with a new deck not exceeding 2.7 metres in height above grade to project a
maximum of 0.5 metres into the required rear yard and 0.4 metres into the required side yard.
Both the existing and proposed decks exceed the maximum permitted height of 1.0 metres
above grade. While the proposed deck will have a greater encroachment into the side yard
than the existing deck, it will encroach into the rear yard to a lesser extent than the existing
deck and in fact conforms to the by-law provisions for maximum encroachment into the rear
yard. With respect to the deck in the rear yard, the variance is required to permit the new deck
to exceed the by-law provision of a maximum height of 1.0 metres above grade.
The grading of the subject property and the neighbouring properties gradually slope downhill
from the front lot to the rear lot line creating a walkout basement condition, therefore requiring
a deck off the ground floor to be built greater than 1.0 metres in height above grade allowing
for adequate amenity space in the rear yard and under the deck. The owner of the
neighbouring property to the west at 353 Rouge Hill Court has indicated in a letter that there
are no privacy concerns or any issues with the proposed deck. It appears that the proposed
encroachment into the, side yard will have minimal impact on the adjacent property to the west.
Staff is of opinion that the requested variance is minor in nature, desirable for the appropriate
development of the land, and maintains the purpose and intent of the Official Plan and Zoning
By-law.

Report P/CA 87/18 October 3, 2018
Page 2
Background
Since the submission of a site plan application on September 19,2016, the applicant has been
working with staff to further refine the proposal to address leasing and tenant requirements.
On June 20, 2018, Council adopted Official Plan Amendment No. 33 to permit the
establishment of a single -storey commercial building with a drive-through, and enacted a site
specific zoning by-law amendment (Zoning By-law 7642/18), which rezoned the subject lands
to facilitate the development of a retail/commercial plaza with a broad range of uses.
An outdoor garden centre was not a permitted use.
Bill 73, the Smart Growth for Our Communities Act, 2015, amended the Planning Act, R.S.O.
1990; c. P. 13 by removing the ability to apply for a minor variance for 2 years following the
passing of an applicant initiated zoning by-law amendment. However, the amendment also
permits municipal Council to allow minor variance applications to proceed on a case-by-case
basis by Council resolution. The Province indicated that the intent of the amendment is to
prevent, for a two year period, zoning provisions that Council determines to be important from
being reversed through the minor variance process.
On September 23, 2018, City Council passed a motion granting an exemption for the subject
lands in accordance with Section 45 (1.4) of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990; c. P.13 as amended.
The motion permits the Committee of Adjustment to consider minor variance applications
resulting from further processing of the site plan or building permit applications submitted by
Duffins Point Inc., for 2460 Brock Road before the second anniversary of the enactment of an
applicant initiated zoning by-law amendment for the subject lands.
Comment
Official Plan
The Pickering Official Plan designates the subject property "Mixed Use Areas — Mixed Corridors"
within the Duffin Heights Neighbourhood. Permissible uses within this designation include, but
are not limited to: residential; retailing of goods and services generally serving the needs of the
surrounding neighbourhoods; offices and restaurants; community, cultural and recreational
uses, and special purpose commercial uses. The City Development Department considers an
outdoor garden centre a retail use under the Official Plan.
Zoning By-law
The subject property is currently zoned "MU -32" — Mixed Use Zone within Zoning By-law 3037,

Appropriateness of the Application
Variance to permit an Outdoor Garden Centre
The applicant is requesting to expand the permitted uses on the subject lands to include an
outdoor garden centre as an accessory use to a retail store use. The applicant has indicated
that they have secured a tenant (Home Hardware) who requires the use of an outdoor garden
centre in association with the primary retail store use. The area of the proposed outdoor
garden centre is approximately 240 square metres, immediately north of the retail store, on the
most westerly portion of the subject lands (refer Exhibit 2).
Staff are of the opinion that the submitted minor variance application will facilitate the intended
use of the subject lands as a retail/commercial development. It is also staff's opinion that the
proposed minor variance is in keeping with the general intent and purpose of the City's Official
Plan and the site specific zoning by-law amendment, which is to permit a broad range of uses
servicing a broader area including: retailing of goods and services; offices; restaurants; and
community, cultural and recreational services.
The proposed development is subject to an active site plan application, which allows City staff
and external public agencies to comment and influence site layout, circulation and design.
Prior to the issuance of final site plan approval, the City Development Department and external
agencies are required to be satisfied with the detailed site design. The proposed commercial
development will provide sufficient on-site parking to accommodate the uses permitted within
the site-specific zoning by-law and the proposed outdoor garden centre. The size and location
of the proposed outdoor garden centre will not negatively affect the parking area or impede
any traffic flows on the site. Also, adequate pedestrian walkways adjacent to the garden centre
will be maintained. The proposed outdoor garden centre will complement the proposed and
permitted commercial uses on the subject lands and provide support for the large retail store it
will operate in association with.
The requested variance maintains the intent and purpose of the Official Plan and
Zoning By-law, is minor in nature, and is desirable for the appropriate development of the
subject lands.
Patio Area and Drive -Through Variance
The proposed development also includes a restaurant, accommodated within a building
(Building 'F') at the southeast corner of the subject lands (refer to Exhibit 2). The applicant is
proposing a drive-through facility and patio area in association with the restaurant. A restaurant
and drive-through facility are permitted uses on the subject lands.
The applicant has requested a variance to permit a drive-through queuing and patio area
associated with a restaurant use to be partially located on the adjacent Hydro Corridor lands
immediately to the south, where a legal easement or an agreement exists. The variance is
required as portions of both the proposed drive-through queuing lane and patio area encroach
beyond the southern limits of the subject lands onto the abutting Hydro Corridor lands
immediately to the south.
49
Report P/CA 87/18 October 3, 2018
Page 4
The zoning by-law only permits parking spaces to be located on the adjacent Hydro Corridor
lands, where a legal easement or agreement exists. As indicated on Exhibit 2, a parking area,
associated drive aisles and landscaped area are to be located on the adjacent Hydro Corridor
lands immediately south of the subject lands. The Hydro lands will accommodate
approximately 172 parking spaces and a 10.2 metre landscaped area along the entire
southerly limit.
A small portion of the drive-through queuing lane and patio area that are in conjunction with
a restaurant will be located beyond the limits of the subject lands. The building that will
accommodate the proposed restaurant will be wholly located within the limits of the subject
lands and maintain the required setback from the south lot line. The proposed location of the
drive-through facility behind the main building will ensure that it is adequately screened from
the Brock Road streetscape. The proposed patio area will be located adjacent to the restaurant
and provide pedestrian access to the building.
As previously outlined, the proposal is subject to an active site plan application, which allows
City staff and external public agencies to comment and influence site layout, circulation and
design prior to final approval. Staff will have the opportunity to ensure that the proposed
location of the drive-through facility and patio area is appropriately sited on the subject lands
and do not negatively impact the function of the site or the Brock Road streetscape. Staff will
also have the opportunity to ensure that the appropriate agreements and approvals in relation
to the parking area, drive-through facility and patio have been obtained.
The requested variances are minor in nature, desirable for the appropriate development of the
land and maintain the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law and Official Plan.

Subject: Committee of Adjustment Application P/CA 88/18
K. & K. Mortley
848 Liverpool Road
Application
The applicant requests relief from Zoning By-law 2520, as amended:
® to permit an uncovered platform (deck) not exceeding 1.2 metres in height above.grade
to project a maximum. of 1.5 metres into the front yard and 0.3 metres into the side
yard; whereas the by-law requires platforms not exceeding 1.0 metres in height above
grade to project a maximum of 1.5 metres into any required front yard and not more
than 1.0 metres in any required side yard
® to permit accessory structures greater than 1.8 metres in height set back a minimum of
0.8 metres from all lot lines; whereas the by-law requires accessory structures greater
than 1.8 metres in height to be set back a minimum of 1.0 metres from all lot lines
The applicant requests approval of these variances in order to obtain a building permit for the
construction of an uncovered platform (deck) in the side yard and to recognize an existing
legally nonconforming accessory structure (shed).
Recommendation
The City Development Department considers the requested variances 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 uncovered platform (deck) and existing
accessory structure (shed), as generally sited and outlined on the applicant's submitted
plans (refer to Exhibit 2).
2. That the applicant obtain a building permit for the proposed construction by
October 3, 2020, or this decision shall become null and void.

Background
The applicant has requested approval of a variance application, in order to obtain a building
permit to construct a replacement deck in the side yard at 848 Liverpool Road. The proposed
deck does not conform to Zoning By-law 2520 general provisions (S. 5.8.b), as the proposed
deck encroaches 0.3 metres into the side yard setback and is over 1.0 metres in height.
The applicant has also requested approval of a variance application to recognize an existing
nonconforming accessory structure. The existing accessory structure (shed) does not conform
to Zoning By-law 2520 general provisions (S. 5.19.b). The shed is located 0.8 metres from the
rear and side lot line, however the by-law requires a minimum setback of 1.0 metres from all lot
lines.

Zoning By-law 2520 - "RM1" - Family Density Zone
Appropriateness of the Application
Uncovered Platform (Deck) Projecting into the Required Side Yard
The intent of the side yard requirements is to ensure an adequate separation between
structures on abutting properties, provide sufficient space to accommodate grading, drainage
and residential services, and to maintain the character of the surrounding neighbourhood.
Zoning By-law 2520 requires a minimum side yard of 2.4 metres. Decks are permitted to
project 1.0 metres into the side yard. Additionally, decks are permitted to beconstructed a
maximum of 1.0 metres in height above grade.
The applicant requests relief from Zoning By-law 2520, as amended, to permit an uncovered
platform (deck) not exceeding 1.2 metres in height above grade to project a maximum of
1.5 metres into the front yard and 0.3 metres into the required side yard. The variance is
required to permit the new deck to exceed the by-law provision of a maximum height of 1.0
metres above grade.
The proposed encroachment of the deck into the side yard will provide an adequate separation
between the deck and the property to accommodate pedestrian access, grading, drainage, and
residential utility services. It appears that the proposed encroachment into the side yard will
have minimal impact on the adjacent property to the north.

Accessory Structure (Shed) Projecting into the Required Rear and Side Yards
The Zoning By-law 2520 allows an accessory structure to project 1.0 metres into the rear and
side yards. The applicant requests relief from Zoning By-law 2520, as amended, to permit an
existing accessory structure 0.8 metres from the rear and side yards.
The current location of the accessory structure (shed) appears to provide for adequate space
to maintain the accessory structure on all sides. The eaves do not encroach onto adjacent
properties and it appears that the location of the accessory structure will ensure that roof
drainage will stay on the subject property.
Staff is of opinion that the requested variances are minor in nature, desirable for the
appropriate development of the land, and maintain the purpose and intent of the
Official Plan and Zoning By-law.
