3135 and 3125 Paden Road from A2-General Rural to RE-Estate Residential, from

RECOMMANDATION
DU RAPPORT
Que le Comité de l’urbanisme et de l’aménagement
recommande au Conseil d’approuver une modification au Règlement de zonage 84-77
de l’ancien Canton de Rideau pour que les désignations des 3155, 3145, 3135 et
3125, chemin Paden passent de A2 (zone rurale générale) à RE (domaine
résidentiel), de A2 (zone rurale générale) à EP (protection de l’environnement)
et de A2 (zone rurale générale) à A2-47 (zone rurale générale – exception 47),
tel qu’il est indiqué dans le document 2.
BACKGROUND
The purpose of the proposed Zoning By-law amendment is to permit the severance of a parcel of land located on Paden Road in the former Township of Rideau. This application has been filed by the landowners in response to a condition imposed by the Committee of Adjustment.
The approval of the consents for the creation of four non-farm related residential lots generates a need to rezone the subject properties in order to ensure conformity with the provisions of the Comprehensive Zoning By-law 84-77.
DISCUSSION
The subject property is designated “General Rural Area, Organic Soils and Provincially Significant Wetland” in the former Regional Official Plan. The Rideau Official Plan designates the land as “Marginal Resource and Natural Environment”. The lands are further zoned “A2-General Rural” in the Township Zoning By-law.
As a result of the approved severance, four lots of equal area (1.65 ha.) and frontage (67.57 m.) were created. The proposed rezoning to RE-Estate Residential will bring the newly created lots into conformity with the Township of Rideau By-law 84-77. In addition, the wetland feature located on three of the lots will be rezoned to EP-Environmental Protection.
The remnant parcel will have an area of approximately 53 ha. and 67.5 m. of frontage. The lands are currently zoned “A2-General Rural” and require a minimum lot area of 35 ha. and a minimum lot frontage of 150 m. For the purpose of this zoning amendment these lands will be rezoned to A2-47 General Rural Exception 47 (see Document 2). The exception to this by-law will address the deficiency in lot frontage.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPLICATIONS
The Conservation Authority have not identified any natural environmental issues which would prevent this zoning amendment. A Geotechnical Evaluation Report to address organic soils was prepared by the applicant to the satisfaction of the Conservation Authority. The wetland feature will be secured by means of placing the lands in an Environmental Protection Zone.
RURAL IMPLICATIONS
The introduction of residential uses on the existing landscape is viewed as negligible.
CONSULTATION
On site information signs were posted indicating the nature of the application. Selected review agencies were also circulated for comment. No substantive comments were received.
The Ward Councillor is aware of the application and has no objections to its approval.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
N/A
APPLICATION PROCESS TIMELINE STATUS
The application was not processed within the timeframe established for the processing of Zoning By-law amendments due to Conservation Authority concerns related to soil conditions.
