We have not verified the by-law standards for this parcel's zoning, so we are not quoting numbers on it. A number we cannot stand behind is worse than no number. The layer scan below is a rough pass, not a zoning answer.
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 an apartment building could be argued here, which the by-law does not allow without a rezoning
- The front yard setback is averaged against the neighbouring houses, so it depends on buildings that have to be measured on site
- The side yard setbacks that apply to this building type
- Lot dimensions and area against a current survey, not the listing sheet
- Easements, rights of way and restrictive covenants registered on title
And more, depending on what the site turns up.

A quick pass over the mapped layers, kept here for comparison. Where it disagrees with the zoning answer above, go with the zoning answer.
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.

Add a garden suite
By-law 849-2025 s.11A garden suite is a separate allowance, not counted into the main building's floor area. Its own cap is 60 m² over one storey or 120 m² over two. With a suite on the lot, coverage follows one of two by-law options, and which one is the applicant's choice.
Garden suite: 120 m² (1,292 ft²), 6.3 m tall, 7.5 m from the main building
Option A · all buildings at 45%
- Main building
- 76 m² (815 ft²)
- Main plus suite
- 196 m² (2,107 ft²)
Option B · main on the overlay, ancillary at 20%
- Main building
- 152 m² (1,639 ft²)
- Main plus suite
- 272 m² (2,930 ft²)
At this lot size the suite would not stay smaller than the main building, which the by-law requires. The suite would need to shrink.
