REPORT HIGHLIGHTS:
The purpose of this report is to assess a request for consent as lot additions to
existing lotting fabric and a minor variance to facilitate the development of a semi- and
single detached dwelling with 3 and 2 attached dwelling units, respectively.
The key finding of this report is that staff are of the opinion the consent and minor
There are no financial implications.
Community engagement included a notice sign being placed on the property advising
that a Committee of Adjustment application has been received, notice of the
application was mailed to all property owners within 30 metres of the subject property
Committee of Adjustment meeting.
This report supports the delivery of core services.
BACKGROUND:
The subject property is located on the south side of Chicopee Park Court (see Figure 1).
Figure 1 Aerial Photo of Subject Property
Chicopee Park Court is a dead-end street that has a single point of access from the east
side of Fairway Road just south of River Road. The street contains a variety of low-rise
residential building forms with varying lot sizes.
In 2018, Consent Applications B2018-119 and B2018-120 were submitted requesting to
sever 2 lots and retain one lot for residential purposes and were approved by the
Committee of Adjustment. These decisions lapsed.
The applicant re-applied with new Consent Applications B2020-027 and B2020-028. They
were subsequently approved, and the consent plan to implement these decisions was
registered as 58R-20258 see Figure 2. Reference Plan 58R-20258 comprises 3 lots with
9.6 metre frontages, approximately 35 metres of depth and areas of approximately 345
square metres. The intent was to remove the existing detached dwelling and re-develop
each lot with a duplex dwelling. The existing dwelling has not been demolished but is
presently vacant.

2019-051.
The purpose of these consent applications is to re-configure the lotting fabric of 58R-
20258 through two lot additions as shown on Figure 3 below. These lot additions are being
proposed to create lot sizes to support a semi-detached dwelling with accessory dwelling
units as pictured on Figure 4 on 11a and 11b Chicopee Park Court while retaining a lot for
a single detached dwelling and 2 accessory units on 13 Chicopee Park Court. A minor
variance application has been submitted for 13 Chicopee Park Court. It is to approve a lot
width of 8 metres for a single detached dwelling with 2 additional units and to permit a
reduced rear yard setback of 7.2 metres and 2 parking spaces rather than the required 3
parking spaces.
A site visit occurred on February 27, 2025 see Figure 5.

REPORT:
Planning Comments Minor Variance Application A2025-027:
In considering the four tests for the minor variances as outlined in Section 45(1) of the
Planning Act, R.S.O, 1990 Chap. P 13, as amended, Planning staff offers the following
comments:
General Intent of the Official Plan
The intent is to support a variety of low-rise residential building forms providing those built
forms are compatible with surrounding context and any impacts mitigated appropriately
through design measures in accordance with criteria outlined in 4C.1.24. A semi and
single-detached dwelling with additional dwelling units are compatible building forms given
the designation of the property, scale and massing, functionality and servicing of the
proposal, and variety of building forms and lot sizes generally found in this area.
Therefore, staff opine the intent of the Official Plan is maintained.
General Intent of the Zoning By-law
Variance for a Reduced Lot Width
The intent of the lot width regulation is to ensure a lot is wide enough to support a use that
can provide an appropriate amenity area, landscaped area and having enough parking
spaces. that a single detached
dwelling with 2 additional dwelling units on an 8-metre-wide lot can function adequately in
this context given the lot area exceeds the by-law regulation. The plan further
demonstrates there is sufficient amenity and landscaped areas and can provide parking
for 2 spaces in tandem. Therefore, the intent of the by-
opinion.
Variance for a Reduced Rear Yard Setback
The intent of a rear yard setback is to ensure there is adequate separation from abutting
properties and there is space for a private amenity area. A 7.2 metre rear yard in the
opinion of staff maintains the intent of the regulation and is considered a minor reduction.
Variance for a Parking Reduction
The intent of parking regulations is to ensure there is adequate parking on-site and to
avoid spillover onto the street. The driveway is long enough to provide for a 2 tandem
spaces and staff do not support a driveway widening for a required third space. A
reduction in one space is supportable given location and proximity to public transportation
on Fairway Road. Transportation Planning has no concerns with the proposed reduction of
one space.
Is/Are the Effects of the Variance(s) Minor?
In the opinion of staff, the variances are minor. In this context, a single detached dwelling
with an 8 metre lot width functions adequately as the length of the lot allows flexibility to
minimize the effects of a slight rear yard reduction. A parking reduction is minor in that the
property is within walking distance to Fairway Road which has a direct bus route to
Fairview Mall and a commercial plaza located at the corner of River Road and Fairway
Road.
Is/Are the Variance(s) Desirable For The Appropriate Development or Use of the Land,
Building and/or Structure?
The variances are appropriate for the appropriate development and use of the lands in the
opinion of staff. A single detached dwelling with 2 additional dwelling units is a compatible
building form given context and policy direction, is functionable and serviceable and will
provide additiona
Planning Comments Consent Applications B2025-007 and B2025-008:
In considering all the relevant Provincial legislation, Regional and City policies and
regulations, Planning staff offer the following comments:
Provincial Planning Statement (PPS 2024)

densities to meet projected needs of current and future residents of the regional market
