4.2 P/CA 33/23
Z. Dahdouh & A. Jackson Wyatt
530 Rosebank Road
The applicant requests relief from Zoning By-law 2511, as amended by By-law 7610/18,
to permit a minimum width of the side yard facing the street upon which the lot flanks
shall be 3.5 metres, whereas the By-law requires a minimum width of the side yard
facing the street upon which the lot flanks shall be 4.5 metres.
The applicant requests approval of this variance in order to obtain a building permit for
the construction of an enclosed porch in the flankage yard.
Input from other sources were received from the Applicant, City’s Engineering Services
and City’s Building Services Section.
In support of the application, the applicant identified the proposal for the porch
enclosure and steps encroaching the side yard could be met initiating the requirement
to have relief from the Zoning By-law.
Malav Shah, agent, was present to represent the application. No further representation
was present in favour of or in objection to the application.
The agent stated he has read the report and is in agreement with the recommendation.
After noting this proposal is for an existing uncovered porch, receiving no written
comments from the public, Engineering or Building Services, reading the staff report,
making a site inspection, Denise Rundle finds this application meets the four tests of the
Planning Act and moved the following motion:
Moved by Denise Rundle
Seconded by Rick Van Andel
That application P/CA 33/23 by Z. Dahdouh & A. Jackson Wyatt, be Approved on the
grounds that the requested variance is 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 Zoning By-law, subject to the following condition:
1. That this variance apply only to the proposed enclosed porch, as generally sited
and outlined on the applicant’s submitted plans (refer to Exhibits 2 & 3 contained
in the staff report to the Committee of Adjustment, dated July 12, 2023).
