2.3.1 Variances

Where the proposed development does not comply with the development standards set out in the zone

it occurs as set out in these Regulations, Council may, in its discretion, vary the applicable development

standards to a maximum of 10% if, in Council’s opinion, compliance with the development standards

would prejudice the proper development of the land, building, or structure in question or would be

contrary to public interest. (Note that the 10% is stipulated in the Minister’s Regulations in Appendix 2

and cannot be amended by Council).

Council shall not allow a variance from development standards set out in the zone as set out in these

Development Regulations if that variance, when considered together with other variances made or to be

made with respect to the same land, building, or structure would have a cumulative effect that is greater

than a 10% variance even though the individual variances are separately no more than 10%.

Council shall not permit a variance from the development standards where the proposed use would

increase the non-conformity of an existing development or would result in the creation of nonconformity

of any existing legal development.

Where Council is to consider a proposed variance, Council shall give written notice of the proposed

variance from development standards to all persons whose land is in the immediate vicinity of the land

that is the subject of the variance and allow a minimum period of seven (7) days for response.
