Key considerations for Markham
A structural assessment of the existing foundation, walls, and framing is required before design.
Floor Space Index (FSI) and lot coverage calculations must confirm the addition fits as-of-right.
Angular plane requirements limit the bulk of additions near property lines.
Full architectural drawings including new and existing floor plans, sections, and elevations are required.
Markham has its own Zoning By-law 177-96 with area-specific schedules.
