What is a minor variation from a zoning bylaw called?

1. building infraction

2. bylaw variance

3. minor variance

4. property deviation

5. zoning amendment

6. zoning infraction

The correct answer is: minor variance

A building infraction is a violation of a building code or regulation, not a zoning bylaw. A bylaw variance is not the same as a minor variation, as it refers to a change in the entire bylaw rather than a specific provision. A property deviation may refer to a zoning variance or a variance from a property's permitted use, but it is not the term used for a minor variation from a zoning bylaw. A zoning amendment involves making changes to the zoning bylaw itself, while a minor variance only pertains to a specific provision. A zoning infraction is a violation of a zoning bylaw, not a minor variation. Therefore, the correct answer is C minor variance, as it refers specifically to a small deviation from a zoning bylaw.
