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

RS (x24)

Site exception

Exception 24, with parts of it still to confirm

As-of-right form

Detached houseplex, 4 unitsAs-of-right (building permit)

As-of-right envelope

465 m² (5,010 ft²)

Severance

Not supported on this lotA split would leave roughly 6.7 m (22'-0") of frontage per lot, short of what this zone allows.

Up to 8 units may be possible with an approval beyond what the by-law allows today. Ask TESA what that would take.

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
  • 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.
