Minor Variance
If a proposed use does not conform to a municipal by-law but follows its general intent, the owner may apply for a Minor Variance. A Minor Variance does not amend the by-law. It allows the owner to vary from a specific requirement of the by-law and to obtain a building permit.
The City of Windsor Committee of Adjustment, appointed by Council, deals with minor problems in meeting by-law standards and holds hearings to decide on such applications.
