According to the Local Government Act, a municipality that has adopted a zoning bylaw must establish a Board of Variance to allow people to request relief from the provisions of that bylaw. A person may apply to the Board for a minor variance if they feel compliance with the bylaw would cause them hardship. The Board of Variance is a quasi-judicial board consisting of three volunteers from the community appointed by Council.
The next Board of Variance meeting will take place on May 7, 2025 at 2:00 PM through video conference.
Board Information
The Board of Variance proposes to meeting the first Wednesday of every month on as as needed basis.
For detailed information, please visit the City's Community Calendar page.
*All meeting dates are considered tentative until the agenda is posted below. *
The Board of Variance focuses primarily on hardship relating to matters such as siting, dimensions and size of buildings. A Board of Variance order cannot conflict with Land Title Act covenants or deal with matters in land use permits, land use contracts, floodplain bylaw specifications or phased development agreements.
Quorum is established as more than 50% voting members.
