Minor Variances

If a proposed use does not conform to a municipal zoning by-law, but follows its general intent, the owner may apply for a Minor Variance. A Minor Variance does not amend the zoning by-law but only allows the owner to vary from a specific requirement of the by-law.

The Township of Woolwich Committee of Adjustment is appointed by Council to meet to deal with minor variance to the Zoning by-law as well as consent applications.

Applicants are advised to consult Township Planning Staff to decide whether a Minor Variance is the best approach, or if an amendment to the specific by-law is necessary for the proposed change.
