REPORT RECOMMENDATION

 

That the Planning and Development Committee recommend Council approve amendments to the former Township of West Carleton Zoning By-law to correct technical anomalies in the text of the By-law as detailed in Document 1.

 

RECOMMANDATION DU RAPPORT

 

Que le Comité de l'urbanisme et de l'aménagement recommande au Conseil d'approuver des modifications au Règlement de zonage de l'ancien Canton de West Carleton en vue de corriger des anomalies de forme au texte du règlement, comme il est précisé dans le document 1.

 

 

 

 

 

BACKGROUND

 

The Department recently completed a major re-consolidation of the Zoning By-law of the former Township of West Carleton.  This project involved the verification of the previous office consolidation of the by-law done just before amalgamation plus the addition of all the amendments made to it by Council since amalgamation.  During the course of that exercise a number of minor discrepancies were discovered. The purpose of this report is to correct those anomalies.

 

 

DISCUSSION

 

As part of its Anomaly Identification and Resolution Programme, the Department periodically brings forward reports that recommend minor amendments to the City's various development-related by-laws.  The purpose of the programme is to correct grammatical, typographical, formatting and other simple or technical problems with the by-law such as the misnumbering of sections or obvious errors in the zoning maps.

 

The purpose of this report is to recommend several minor amendments to the Zoning By-law of the former Township of West Carleton to correct a small number of structural, organizational and other obvious or technical problems that were discovered during the recent consolidation of the by-law.  None of these amendments affects established rights or creates new ones.

 

 

CONSULTATION

 

As the recommendation deals with purely technical or "housekeeping" measures, no public consultation was undertaken; however, notice of the date, time and location of the Planning and Development Committee meeting at which the matter would be considered was published in the The Citizen and Le Droit newspapers on October 10, 2003.  Once the by-law has been enacted, Notice of the passing of the by-law will be given in accordance with the requirements of the Planning Act.

PROBLEM

SOLUTION

By-law No. 62 of 1998 repealed paragraph 12(3)(dd) of the zoning by-law when the intention was to repeal paragraph 22(3)(dd)

Repeal paragraph 22(3)(dd), and re-enact paragraph 12(3)(dd) as it existed immediately prior to its repeal

By-law No. 54 of 1999 added two clauses 22(3)(h)(c)vi) to the RU-8 zone.  The first one established the RU-8(x6) exception and the second one established the RU-8(x7) exception.

o       Renumber the second clause 22(3)(h)(c)vi) to 22(3)(h)(c)vii),

o       Amend the newly renumbered clause 22(3)(h)(c)vii) to add the heading “RU-8(x7)”, and

o       Amend zoning Map 2 to show the corrected zoning.

By-law No. 39 of 2000 lifted the holding symbol from the zoning Map for the R5-10 exception zone but not from the text, paragraph 9E(3)(j)

Amend paragraph 9E(3)(j) to strike out everything from “Removal of the (h) holding symbol” to the end of the paragraph

By-law No. 88 of 2000 lifted the holding symbol from the Map for the RCL-41 exception zone but not from the zoning text, paragraph 8(3)(pp)

o       Amend paragraph 8(3)(pp) to strike out the “h” symbol in line one, and

o       Repeal all of subparagraph 8(3)(pp)(iii) which sets out the condition for lifting the h symbol

By-law No. 2001–330 added two sub-paragraphs 22(3)(uu)(i) to the zoning by-law.

It also added two paragraphs 22(3)(uu) which resulted in the creation of two RU-46 exceptions

o       Renumber the second subparagraph 22(3)(uu)(i) to 22(3)(uu)(ii),

o       Renumber the second paragraph 22(3)(uu) to 22(3)(uu.a)

o       Amend the newly renumbered paragraph 22(3)(uu.a) to strike out any mention of “RU-46” and substitute “RU- 46a”, and

o       Amend the zoning Map to show the corrected zoning

By-law No. 2001– 406 adds subparagraph 8(3)(tt)(iii) to the zoning by-law.  That sub-paragraph mentions the Environmental Protection area shown on Schedule B to this By-law.

In context, the words “this By-law” means the parent zoning by-law but the amendment did not actually put the new Schedule into the parent by-law.  This Schedule should now be added to the zoning by-law.

In addition, the parent by-law already has a Schedule B and therefore the new Schedule should have been given a different designation.

o       Rename the Schedule showing the Environmental Protection area to give it a unique identifier,

o       Add the renamed Schedule to the zoning by-law, and

o       Amend subparagraph 8(3)(tt)(iii) to strike out “Schedule B” and substitute a reference to the renamed Schedule

By-law No. 2001– 453 established the RL-8(x2) exception zone.  To do this the By-law said to insert the exception after subsection 5(8) but section 5 does not have a subsection (8).  The RL-8(x2) exception should have been inserted in subsection (3).

Repeal 5(8)(3)(h)(iv) and re-enact it as subparagraph 5(3)(h)(iv).

By-law No. 2002–92 added paragraphs 8(3)(vv) and 8(3)(ww) to section 8 of the by-law to establish exception RU-47 and RU-48; however, section 8 is the RCL zone.  To add these exceptions to the RU zone the paragraphs should have inserted in section 22

o       Repeal exceptions RU-47 and RU-48 in section 8,

o       Re-enact them as paragraphs 22(3)(vv) and 22(3)(ww) respectively, to place them in the RU zone, and

o       Amend the zoning Map to show the corrected zoning

By-law No. 2002–394 added a second subparagraph 16(3)(d)(ix) to the zoning by-law and created a second MR-4(x3) exception.

o       Renumber the second subparagraph 16(3)(d)(ix) to 16(3)(d)(ix.a),

o       Amend the text of the newly renumbered sub-paragraph 16(3)(d)(x) to strike out any mention of “MR-4(x3)” and substitute “MR-4(x3.a)”, and

o       Amend the zoning Map to show the corrected zoning

Section 3 of By-law No. 2003-1 states that an accessory dwelling unit is permitted in the MR-3(x7) zone but it does not actually put that provision into the zoning by-law

Re-enact the provision as an amendment to section 16 of the zoning by-law so that it is no longer a stand-alone provision

By-law No. 2003–95 enacts a regulation for the C–16 exception but does not put that regulation into the zoning by-law

Add the regulation to section 10 so that it is no longer a stand-alone provision

By-law No. 2003–346 enacts a regulation for the MR–28 exception but does not put that regulation into the zoning by-law

Add the regulation to section 16 so that it is no longer a stand-alone provision

By-law №  No. 2003–402 added a new provision to section 16 but did not give it a number.

Number the added provision

Chair Hunter began by reading a statement required under the Planning Act, which advised that anyone who intended to appeal this proposed Zoning By-law Amendment to the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB), must either voice their objections at the public meeting, or submit their comments in writing prior to the amendment being adopted by City Council. Failure to do so could result in refusal/dismissal of the appeal by the OMB.

 

The Committee approved the recommendation contained in departmental report dated 14 October 2003.

 

That the Planning and Development Committee recommend Council approve amendments to the former Township of West Carleton Zoning By-law to correct technical anomalies in the text of the By-law as detailed in Document 1.
