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.

Up to 10 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 a garden suite still fits once the separation from the house and the rear setback are measured
- 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
And more, depending on what the site turns up.

Zone
No zoning resolved on this parcel, so there is no envelope to quote. A TESA scan resolves the zone from the by-law directly.
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
- 532 m² (5,729 ft²)
- Main plus suite
- 652 m² (7,021 ft²)
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.
What binds it
Archaeological potentialStudy before ground
An archaeological assessment is required before soil is disturbed. It is a cost and a schedule item, and it does not stop a demolition.
