Variance Orders

A Variance Order is required to provide specific relief from provisions restricting minimum yards, building height, lot coverage, building floor space, site area, site width, land use, dwelling unit density or parking requirements within a specific zone.

A Minor Variance Order is a Variance which allows to vary the minimum or maximum requirements of any height, distance, area, size or intensity, and number of parking spaces, of a zone within the bulk use table by no more than 15 percent

Any Variance that exceeds 15 percent of the minimum or maximum requires must apply for a Major Variance Order which is reviewed by Council at the Regular Development & Planning Meetings (Public Hearing).
