The Committee of Adjustment is composed of seven members, who are appointed by the Council of the City of Kingston and is guided by the provisions of the Official Plan, including Bylaw 2010-205 (the Committee Bylaw). The Committee is authorized by the Ontario Planning Act to grant minor variances from the provisions of the Zoning Bylaw, to permit extensions, enlargements or variations of existing legal non-conforming uses and give consent to an owner of land who wishes to sell, convey or transfer an interest "part" of their land.

The Committee's consent is also required when the terms of an agreement, such as a lease, easement or mortgage commits the land to a use for a period in excess of 21 years.
