RECOMMANDATION DU RAPPORT
Que le Comité de l’urbanisme et de l’environnement recommande au Conseil :
1.
d’approuver et d’adopter une modification au Plan officiel de l’ancienne Ville
de Nepean afin de changer la désignation du 3376, avenue Woodroffe de
résidentielle transitoire à institutionnelle, tel qu’il est expliqué dans le
Document 2;

BACKGROUND
This
application applies to a 0.82 ha. parcel of land located approximately 600
metres south of Strandherd Drive, on
the west side of Woodroffe Avenue, north of the Hearts Desire Community.
Directly to the north is undeveloped lands forming part of a future phase of
the Chapman Mills subdivision. The extension of Cresthaven Drive will form the
northern flankage of this site.
The purpose of the
applications for Official Plan and Zoning By-law amendments are to allow for
the development of a place of worship and accessory uses.
DISCUSSION
The
site lies within the General Urban Area designation in the former Regional
Official Plan (ROP) and the Residential designation in the former City of
Nepean Official Plan. The current Council Approved Official Plan designates the
site as General Urban Area. The policies allow for uses serving the needs of a
residential community including places of worship.
The
Council Approved Official Plan Secondary Plan policies and the former City of
Nepean Secondary Plan policies for the Planning Area 4,5, and 6 designate the
site as Transitional Residential. The policies of the latter designation do not
allow for anything other than single detached dwellings. The Official Plan
amendment being sought is for a change of this designation to facilitate the
church use.
Rationale
The
intent of the Transitional Residential designation is to buffer the existing
Hearts Desire neighbourhood with compatible low-density residential development
to the north. The policies further establish that through the implementing
Zoning By-law, a 10 metre landscaped buffer is to be created along the property
edge with the residences in the neighbouring community. The proposed use has
been evaluated in relation to compliance with the general policies of the
relevant Official Plans and the Department is of the view that the proposal
complies with the general intent.
With
regards to the Transitional Residential designation and policies, the proposed
place of worship will not be an incompatible use in this location given the
size of the site and the flexibility it presents in terms of siting of the
church. Further the parcel size will enable a potentially larger buffer with
the residential uses to the south as opposed to a single detached dwelling.
Overall the intent of the Official Plan policy relative to this area is to provide
a compatible transition in use from the community to the south and into the
subdivision to the north. The concern of the residents during the development
of these policies was to ensure that they were not surrounded by the intensity
of development in the communities that lie to the north. This proposal does not
compromise that objective.
Staff
supports the proposed amendments for following reasons: the use is a
neighbourhood serving use; it does not compromise the ability to buffer the adjacent
community, and in fact provides a suitable transition from the existing low
density housing forms to a higher density development pattern that will develop
to the north, and finally it is supported by the adjacent community.
CONSULTATION
Notice
of this application was carried out in accordance with the City’s Public
Notification and Consultation Policy. Information signs were posted on-site
indicating the nature of the application.
The Ward Councillor is aware of this application and the staff
recommendation. The City did not
receive any negative comments or opposition to this application.
The applicants hosted an
Open House in early spring to inform the community about their plans and
consulted with the Community Associations in the area and received positive
feedback on their proposal.
