Minor Variances

 

 Minor Variance Application

A Minor Variance Application is a planning tool used to seek relief when a property or building does not meet a provision of the Zoning By-law.

Minor Variance Applications are considered by the Committee of Adjustment, under authority of the Planning Act of Ontario. A typical minor variance generally takes approximately 90 days to process which includes seeking input from the public and various agencies.
