"minor variances"

Council approved six minor variances for the 20-story mixed-use project at 50, rue Montcalm. These variances relate to building setbacks, balcony/terrace encroachments, and landscaping requirements, and are conditional upon the project's final architectural and conditional use approvals.

Council approved minor variances for a 15-room collective dwelling at 93, rue des Oliviers. The variances allow for the elimination of off-street parking requirements and a slight increase in the building-to-land ratio, conditional upon the addition of bicycle parking.
