PERMIT NOT TO BE ISSUED IN CERTAIN CASES

Neither a permit nor outline planning permission
shall be issued for development within the Planning
Area when, in the opinion of the Authority, it is
premature by reason of the site lacking adequate
road access, power, drainage, sanitary facilities,
or domestic water supply, or being beyond the natural
development of the area at the time of application
unless the applicant contracts to pay the full cost
PART I - General Regulations
Page 5
of construction of the services deemed necessary
by the Authority and such cost shall attach to
and upon the property in respect of which it is
imposed.
DISCRETIONARY POWERS OF AUTHORITY
10.
In considering an application for a permit or for
outline planning permission to carry out develop-
ment, the Authority shall take into account the
policies expressed in the Municipal Plan and any
further scheme, plan or regulations pursuant
thereto, and shall assess the general appearance
of the development, its effect on the overall
development of the area, the amenity of the
surroundings, availability of utilities, public
safety and convenience, and any other considerations
which are, in its opinion, material, and notwith-
standing the conformity of the application with the
requirements of these Regulations, the Authority may,
in its discretion, and as a result of its consider-
ation of the matters set out in this Regulation,
conditionally approve or refuse the application.

11.
(1)
Where a permit cannot be granted because the
proposed development does not comply with these
Regulations, the Authority may in its discretion
PART I - General Regulations
Page 6
vary the requirements to literal conformity
with the Regulations if, in the Authority's
opinion, the requirements would prejudice the
proper development of the land, building or
structure in question, or be contrary to the
public interest.
(2)
Variance from these Regulations pursuant to
Regulation 11(1) shall only be authorized in
the following circumstances:
(a)
if, in the opinion of the Authority,
such variance is not contrary to the
general intent and purpose of these
Regulations, the Municipal Plan, or
any further scheme, plan or regulation
pursuant thereto, and the public interest;
(b)
if, prior to authorization of such
variance, the Authority has considered
its effect on adjoining properties;
(c)
if the variance does not change the
permitted use of the property;
(d)
if the Authority is satisfied that the
variance has not become necessary due
to the intentional or negligent conduct
of the owner or some other party acting
with the owner's knowledge or consent;
PART I - General Regulations
Page 7
(e)
if, prior to authorization of such variance,
the Authority has given notice of the
application in accordance with Regulation
22 and has considered any objections or
representations which may have been received
on the matter.
(3)
Variance from these Regulations pursuant to
Regulation 11(1) shall not be authorized if
such variance, when considered together with
other variances made or to be made in respect
of the same land, building or structure, would
have a cumulative effect contrary to the general
intent of these Regulations, the Municipal Plan,
or any further scheme, plan or regulation pursuant
thereto, even though the variances individually
would not have such effect.

ance with the standards required by the
Authority and for uses that are permitted
on that real property.

or increased by the public work.
(4)
