Minor
Variance
A
minor variance may allow property owners to use their land in a way
which does not comply exactly with the requirements of the Zoning
By-law. It is often necessitated by circumstances peculiar to the
property which prevent the owner from developing it in a way which
conforms to the By-law's provisions. Examples of minor variances
include relief from certain parking space requirements, building
setbacks, and height restrictions.
Application
Consent/Severance
A
consent is required if you want to sell (sever) or mortgage a portion
of your land or enter into an agreement/lease for a period of 21 years
or more. There are also other circumstances in which consent
from the
Committee of Adjustment is required; your lawyer or agent can help you
to determine if consent is necessary. Sometimes another form of land
division approval such as Subdivision or Part-lot Control
By-law may
be more appropriate. The requirement for a severance helps to ensure
that development occurs in a controlled and orderly way, and that
proper servicing is in place to accommodate it.
