(ADU) policies and regulations, the applicant could construct a new single unit dwelling with an ADU in the main building (as a basement suite, for example) and an ADU in an accessory building, achieving the same yield of 3 dwelling units on this parcel. Zoning regulations do not allow an ADU in a Duplex building, since this type of development falls under the Multiple Dwelling definition in the Zoning Bylaw. As reviewed above, the Residential Land Use designation permits selective residential redevelopment, infill and intensification and given the location of the site in proximity to two Main Streets, the proposed Zoning By-law Amendment is consistent with the Official Plan.
The proposed Zoning By-law Amendment is consistent with the City of Windsor Official Plan and Provincial Policy Statement, 2020.
The applicant’s provided Planning Rationale Report prepared by Pillon Abbs Inc. speaks to the project’s compliance with the Official Plan in Section 5.1.3 (page 26) of their report (see Appendix B).
