The scan
Separate basement entrance with 'rough in for kitchen, bedroom, and full bathroom' meets hard signal criteria for second unit conversion.
The building stays. It can legally hold more homes than it holds today.

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
- 31 m² (328 ft²)
- Main plus suite
- 151 m² (1,620 ft²)
Option B · main on the overlay, ancillary at 20%
- Main building
- 117 m² (1,260 ft²)
- Main plus suite
- 237 m² (2,552 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.
