Committee of adjustment and land division committee

When acting as the Committee of Adjustment and Land Division Committee, the Committee's mandate is to act as an independent, quasi-judicial body and hear applications for minor variances. This is an application for relief from a requirement of the Zoning By-law which cannot be met (under Section 45 of the Planning Act). This includes application for:

• the enlargement or extension of a building or structure that is legally non-conforming,
• a change in non-conforming use;
• to hear Applications for land division including by consent to sever a property or for any agreement, mortgage or lease that extends for 21 years or more, subdivision and condominium description.

Property standards appeal committee

The PAC also acts as the Property Standards Appeal Committee. If you have been served with a property standards order and are not satisfied with the terms or conditions, you may appeal to the committee by sending a Notice of Appeal. The committee will conduct a hearing and make a decision.
