DEVELOPMENT VARIANCE PERMIT 2023-07
25 Chancellor Avenue
PURPOSE:
To consider a development variance permit application for the length of an accessory building and for the separation of an accessory building from a principal building.
| Zoning Bylaw requirement for accessory buildings (Section 4.6 of the R1-B Zone) | Required | Proposed |
|---|---|---|
| Maximum width | 7.5m | 4.26m |
| Minimum setback from all lot lines | 1.2m | 1.45m |
| Maximum lot coverage (floor area cap) | 60m² | 39m² |
| Maximum lot coverage (ratio) | 10% | 5% |
| Maximum building height | 4.5m | 3.7m |
| Zoning Bylaw requirement for accessory buildings (R1-B Zone) | Required | Proposed | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| s.4.6.2 Maximum length of an accessory building | 7.5m | 9.15m | 1.65m |
| s.4.6.3 Minimum separation of an accessory building from the principal building | 3.0m | 2.8m | 0.2m |
The applicant’s rationale for the requests is as follows:
- They would like to site the new building in the same location as the old accessory building.
- They would like to reuse and add on to the partial foundation of the old accessory building.
- The building length would keep the building narrow and situated on existing hard surface. This would also minimize intrusion into the rear yard, which features a large willow tree.

CONCLUSION:
No staff concern
- Building staff observe the partial foundation appears to have potential for reuse, subject to certification by a structural engineer.
- The proposed building separation is minor and has no impacts on neighbouring properties.

ALTERNATIVES:
Council may:
- Decline the application; or
- Refer the application back to staff for further refinements to the requested variances.
