Carried
That the City of Woodstock Committee of Adjustment approve Application File MV 09-25, submitted by Cachet Developments (Woodstock) Inc., for lands described as Block 141, Plan 41M-401, in the City of Woodstock, as it relates to: Relief from Section 8.2, Table 8.2 – Zone Provisions, Rear Yard Depth, to reduce the minimum required rear yard depth from 7.5 m to 5 m, to facilitate the construction of street facing townhouses subject to the following condition: 1. That the development be generally consistent with Plate 3 of Report 2025- 247. The requested variance meets the four tests of a minor variance as set out in Section 45(1) of the Planning Act as follows: 1. The proposed relief is considered a minor variance from the provisions of the City’s Zoning Bylaw in that the reduced rear yard depth will not impact neighbouring properties, is compatible with surrounding land uses, is minor and is desirable for the development of the lands. 2. The proposed relief maintains the general intent and purpose of the City’s Zoning By-law, and no negative impacts are anticipated associated reduced rear yard depth. 3. The relief is desirable for the use of the land as the said relief will allow for development that is permitted by the Zoning By-law, the use is compatible with planned development and is complimentary to proposed development in the area. 3 4. The relief maintains the intent and purpose of the Official Plan as the proposed relief will facilitate development that is contemplated
