The scan

The play: Add units

Separate side entrance to finished basement with 3-pc bath and 3rd bedroom provides hard signal for dual-unit potential.

The building stays. It can legally hold more homes than it holds today.

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

RD (f7.5) (x1218)

Site exception

Exception 1218, with parts of it still to confirm

As-of-right form

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

As-of-right envelope

230 m² (2,475 ft²)

Severance

Not supported on this lotA split would leave roughly 3.8 m (12'-6") of frontage per lot, short of what this zone allows.

Up to 5 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 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
  • Which lot coverage rule governs here, which sets how much of the lot the buildings can sit on
  • Whether a garden suite still fits once the separation from the house and the rear setback are measured
  • Lot dimensions and area against a current survey, not the listing sheet

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.

A lot-coverage cap applies here, but no height limit is mapped, so the footprint cannot be turned into a floor area. A TESA scan resolves the permitted height from the by-law.
