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 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
- The maximum building depth on this lot, which sets how far back the house can go
- Whether a garden suite still fits once the separation from the house and the rear setback are measured
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.

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
- 33 m² (351 ft²)
- Main plus suite
- 153 m² (1,643 ft²)
Option B · main on the overlay, ancillary at 20%
- Main building
- 118 m² (1,272 ft²)
- Main plus suite
- 238 m² (2,563 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.
