Hello,
Thank you for proposing these extremely necessary changes to ADUs. I along with many others in Toronto strongly agree with these changes:
1. Angular planes rule which restricts spatial usage on the second floor. This has already been done with Laneway suites and makes zero sense why Garden suites should be treated any differently
2. Lot coverage should be increased if the intention is to allow for more density which is the province's mandate (does not apply to multiplex in Toronto)
3. Floor Space Index (FSI) should be increased if the intention is to allow for more density which is the province's mandate. Softscape minimums should still apply in my opinion
4. Minimum Lot Size - If owners want to build a small ADU they should be able to regardless of lot size
The amount of private and city resources that are wasted by going through CoA, Ontario Land Tribunal (OLT) – or in Toronto, to the Toronto Local Appeal Body (TLAB) often scares people away from going through with an ADU project and is just a colossal waste or time and money while giving NIMBYists a chance to ruin progress for a great Ontario in which housing is not always the number 1 issue at all levels of politics
