Key considerations for Vaughan
Rear yard setback requirements must be maintained - typically 7.5 m in Toronto residential zones.
Lot coverage maximums (typically 33–40% in residential zones) apply to the total of all structures.
Foundation design depends on soil conditions and the scope of the addition.
Connection to the main dwelling's structure must be shown on structural drawings.
Vaughan uses its own Comprehensive Zoning By-law (By-law 1-88), not Toronto's bylaw.
