What influences the size and/or location of a new home on a subdivision lot?

  1. Local conservation authority regulations.

  2. The slope of the lot.

  3. Site plan control.

  4. Zoning requirements.

The correct answer is: Site plan control.

Site plan control influences the size and location of a new home on a subdivision lot because it regulates the layout, design, and use of land in a specified area. Under site plan control, local authorities review and approve site plans to ensure that proposed developments comply with zoning by-laws, official plans, and other regulations. This process helps ensure that new homes are appropriately situated on the lot and are in harmony with the surrounding community. Local conservation authority regulations, the slope of the lot, and zoning requirements can also impact the development of a new home on a subdivision lot, but they do not have as direct an influence on the size and location of the home as site plan control does. Local conservation authority regulations may focus more on environmental protection, the slope of the lot may affect site layout but may not dictate the size of the home, and zoning requirements primarily address land use and density rather than specific home placement.
