The development permit includes a variance to the Land Use Bylaw. What does this mean?

A variance is an alteration or change to a standard prescribed by Our Zoning Blueprint that is authorized by the Development Authority, the Subdivision Authority (the official or officials of the municipality appointed as the Subdivision Authority) or the Subdivision and Development Appeal Board. The standard (from the land use bylaw) that was varied for the multi-attached dwellings is to allow Building 1 to exceed the maximum 4 metre side yard setback by 5.3 metres (for a total of 9.3 metres from property line) on the east side, and for Building 9 to exceed the maximum 4 metres side yard setback by 5.9 metres on the east side (for a total of 9.9 metres from property line), sitting the buildings further away from the existing residential properties.
