(Best). The development permit was for a five-unit Rowhouse Building with four below-grade Secondary Suites in the Windsor Park neighbourhood. The City of Calgary granted a development permit to Best, but the owner of the immediately adjacent lot, Evgeny Zhuromsky, appealed the permit to the Calgary Subdivision and Development Appeal Board (the SDAB or the Board). Zhuromsky argued that the proposed development did not comply with the definitions of Rowhouse Building and Secondary Suite in the City of Calgary, revised Bylaw IP2007, Land Use Bylaw. The SDAB upheld the development permit (with variation) and found that the proposed development satisfied the relevant definitions. Zhuromsky argued that the SDAB misinterpreted the definitions, failed to consider relevant impacts on his property, and failed to provide adequate reasons.

Best suggested that the Court should refer only the issues on which the Court found errors of law back to the SDAB, not the entire matter....
