Notice of Complete Application for Minor Variance and Virtual Public Hearing

Take notice that the City of Kenora Planning Advisory Committee (PAC) will hold a regular meeting on March 19, 2025, at 6 p.m.

As part of the meeting, PAC will consider a proposed Minor Variance under Section 45 of the Planning Act (RSO 1990), as described below and shown on the attached map.

Files(s): D13-25-03

Location: 501/609 Sixth Avenue South

Purpose and effect

This minor variance application is seeking relief from the City of Kenora Zoning By-law 101-2015 to permit the proposed severance of the subject property. The proposed severance is to create one new residential lot, separating the two existing single-family dwellings on the subject property onto their own lots.

The application is seeking relief from Section 4.1.3 (b) which requires a minimum lot area of 450 m². This application proposes to reduce the minimum lot area by 190 m² to permit a minimum lot area of 260 m² which would apply to the proposed severed and retained lands.

The subject property is designated Established Area in the City of Kenora Official Plan and zoned ‘R1’ Residential – First Density Zone in the City’s Zoning By-law.

An application for Consent (File No. D10-25-01) under Section 53 of the Planning Act, has been applied for concurrently, to create one new lot.
