The scan
2 full kitchens, separate basement entrance, and explicit 'income potential' signal a dual-unit conversion opportunity.
The building stays. It can legally hold more homes than it holds today.
- Lot 4.3 m x 24.2 m (14'-1" x 79'-6")
- Semi-Detached
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.

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
- The maximum building depth on this lot, which sets how far back the house can go
- Whether an apartment building could be argued here, which the by-law does not allow without a rezoning
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.

Zone
The zoning label carries a density figure, but floor space index does not apply to a detached or semi-detached houseplex (By-law 648-2025). No lot-coverage cap resolved here either, so quoting an envelope would mean applying a standard that does not govern this building type. What actually caps the building is setbacks and building depth, which a TESA scan resolves from the by-law.
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
- Not available for this lot
- Main plus suite
- Not available for this lot
Option B · main on the overlay, ancillary at 20%
- Main building
- Not available for this lot
- Main plus suite
- Not available for this lot
The main building has no coverage cap under Option B here, so its size is set by setbacks rather than a percentage.
