Minor Variance

A minor variance is a small adjustment or deviation from the zoning by-laws or regulations that govern land use in a specific area. It is typically requested when a property owner wishes to make a change to their property that does not fully comply with the current zoning laws but is considered minor enough not to warrant a full rezoning process. Minor variances are often related to building dimensions, setbacks, or other specific zoning requirements.
