The City of North Bay's Zoning By-law regulates the way in which land can be used in the City by designating different areas with land use zones. The by-laws also contain rules that apply to each zone for things such as permitted uses, building set backs and lot coverage. Because it is difficult for the zoning by-laws to address every circumstance that may affect the development or use of a particular property, the Planning Act allows City Council to establish a Committee of Adjustment to which property owners can apply when they require a "minor variation" to the regulations.
A minor variance is a variation from the requirements of the City of North Bay Zoning By-law 2015-30. The need for the variance is created by circumstances peculiar to the land, building, structures or use that prevent the owner from meeting all of the requirements of the by-law.
