Does a decision by a board of variance record its reasons for allowing an application to vary?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Surrey (City of) v. City of Surrey Board of Variance, 1996 CanLII 2409 (BC SC):
33 That view was adopted by Sigurdson J. of this court in Heading v. Delta (1994), 22 M.P.L.R. (2d) 256. In that case, the minutes of the hearing of a board of variance recorded its decision but not its reasons for allowing an application to vary. Commencing at page 266, Mr. Justice Sigurdson analyzed the reasons for judgment given in Metchosin and concluded that Mr. Justice Lambert's analysis of subs. 962(2) is correct, and that it is not inconsistent with that of the majority. With respect, I agree.
