REPORT
Planning Comments:
The subject property located at 52 Helena Feasby is zoned Residential Six (R-4) in the Zoning By-law
85-1 and designated Low Rise Residential in the City's Official Plan. The applicant is proposing to build
a rear -yard extension to their kitchen and cannot meet the requirements of Section 38.2.1 of the Zoning
By-law. The applicant is requesting relief to allow a rear yard setback of 5.55 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 Lands: Proposed Kitchen Addition
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-4 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 is a single detached dwelling. The
reduction in the rear yard setback will have a minimal effect on the rear yard amenity space. As such,
staff is satisfied the requested variance to reduce the rear yard setback to 5.5 metres whereas 7.5
metres is required meets the general intent of the Zoning By-law.

3. 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 and will continue to
maintain the low density residential character of the neighbourhood as the addition is located in the
rear of the property and therefore does not impact the public realm while continuing to provide for an
adequate rear yard amenity area.

application.
