The applicant is proposing to construct a covered porch in the rear yard of an existing single detached dwelling and cannot meet the requirements of Section 37.1 of the Zoning By- law. The applicant is requesting relief to allow a rear yard setback of 5.83m metres rather than the required 7.5 metres. *** This information is available in accessible formats upon request. *** Please call 519-741-2345 or TTY 1-866-969-9994 for assistance. Subject Property: 924 Redtail Court City Planning staff conducted a site inspection of the property on March 91", 2020. In considering the four tests for minor variances as outlined in Section 45(1) of the Planning Act, R.S.O., 1990 Chap. P. 13, as amended, Planning staff offer the following comments. 1. Meets the General Intent of the Official Plan Test The subject property is designated Low Rise Residential in the Official Plan. The intent of this designation is to encourage a range of different forms of housing to achieve a low density neighbourhood. The requested variance to permit a reduced rear yard setback is appropriate and continues to maintain the low density character of the property and surrounding neighbourhood. It is the opinion of staff that the requested variance meets the general intent of the Official Plan. 2. General Intent and Purpose of Zoning By-law Test The current R-3 zoning requires a 7.5 metres setback from the rear lot line to ensure there is adequate rear yard amenity space. The property in question will be developed with a single detached dwelling. The reduction in the rear yard setback will have a minimal effect on the rear yard amenity space, as a considerable portion of the rear yard will still maintain or exceed the required 7.5m setback. As such, staff is satisfied the requested variance to reduce the rear yard setback to 5.83 metres whereas 7.5 metres is required meets the general intent of the Zoning By-law.

Is the Variance "Minor" Test The proposed reduction in the rear yard setback will be negligible and will not impact the existing neighbourhood. Therefore, Staff is of the opinion that the requested variance is minor. 4. Is the Variance Appropriate Test The variance is appropriate for the development and use of the land. The requested variances should not impact any of the adjacent properties or the surrounding neighbourhood. Based on the foregoing, Planning staff recommends that this application be approved subject to the conditions outlined below in the Recommendation section of this report. Building Comments: The Building Division has no objections to the proposed variance provided building permit for the new roof structure is obtained prior to construction. Please contact the Building Division @ 519-741-2433 with any questions. Transportation Services Comments: Transportation Services has no objections to the proposed variance. Engineering Comments: Engineering Services has no objections to the proposed variance. RECOMMENDATION That application A2020-026 requesting permission to construct a covered porch in the rear yard of an existing single detached dwelling having a rear yard setback of 5.83m rather than the required 7.5m, be approved.
