TESA ScanZoning

The by-law's answer for this lot

We resolved this parcel's zoning, the site-specific exceptions registered against it, and the building forms the by-law permits without a rezoning. Every number below traces to by-law text we hold on file, and we re-check it against the City's register nightly.

Zone

R (d1.0) (x881)

Site exception

Exception 881, with parts of it still to confirm

As-of-right form

Low-rise apartment, 8 unitsAs-of-right (building permit)

As-of-right envelope

413 m² (4,448 ft²)Envelope from the zone's floor space index.

Severance

Not supported on this lotA split would leave roughly 2.9 m (9'-5") of frontage per lot, short of what this zone allows.

Still to verify on this parcel

None of these can be settled from records alone. Any one of them changes what this lot can hold.

  • Whether site plan control applies, which adds an approval step and months to the schedule
  • The front yard setback is averaged against the neighbouring houses, so it depends on buildings that have to be measured on site
  • Which lot coverage rule governs here, which sets how much of the lot the buildings can sit on
  • Whether an apartment building could be argued here, which the by-law does not allow without a rezoning
  • Lot dimensions and area against a current survey, not the listing sheet

And more, depending on what the site turns up.

What is standing, and what is permitted

A house stands here and the by-law allows more. Below is what is already built, the as-of-right envelope on the same lot, and the gap between them, which is the part you are buying. It is a starting envelope, not a massing study.
