About

The Committee of Adjustment, made up of five residents who are appointed by Council, meets every two weeks to hear submissions either in support or opposition of applications for either minor variances or consent (severances) submitted by the applicant or their agent.

Everyone is welcome to attend the public hearing and submit their views and concerns in writing. The Committees, Council Agenda & Minutes page holds more information on the Committee of Adjustment’s schedule.
 
For additional procedural information please review the Committee of Adjustment Procedural By-law.
 
The Ontario Planning Act establishes the authority of the Committee of Adjustment to make decisions on the following:
  • consent to create an easement of right-of-way
  • consent to register a mortgage over part of a property
  • consent to register a lease over part of a lot for more than 21 years
  • consent to split land into more than one lot
  • consent to a technical conveyance (transferring property from one owner to another where the land was originally separated and has become joined)
  • minor variances from the Zoning By-law

Applications

Anyone considering applying for either a minor variance or consent application can pick up an application form at the Office of the City Clerk or download the application online:
 
  • Consent Application Form (i.e. New Lot, Easement etc.)
  • Minor Variance Application Form
Prior to submitting the application, an applicant should contact the Building Standards department to obtain proper Zoning By-law requirements and the Development Planning department to ensure the request complies with Vaughan’s Official Plan and Severance Policies.

  • Adolfo Antinucci
  • Assunta (Sue) Perrella (Vice Chair)
