REPORT RECOMMENDATION

[U1] 

That the Planning and Environment Committee recommend Council approve an amendment to the former Gloucester Zoning By-Law to change the zoning for the northern portion of 6873 Notre Dame Street from Residential, Single Dwelling Zone (Rs1) to Commercial Mixed Use zone (Cm) as shown in Document 1.

 

RECOMMANDATION DU RAPPORT

 

Que le Comité de l’urbanisme et de l’environnement recommande au Conseil d’approuver une modification au Règlement de zonage de l’ancienne Ville de Gloucester en vue de changer le zonage de la partie nord du 6873, rue Notre-Dame de zone résidentielle (Rs 1) à zone commercial (Cm), comme il est indiqué dans le document 1.

 

BACKGROUND

[U2] 

This application affects a portion of land located north of Notre Dame Street and close to the intersection of Orleans Boulevard and St. Joseph Boulevard.  The site is 22.95 metres wide with a depth of 12.89 metres and an area of 315.10 square metres and is the northern portion of 6873 Notre Dame Street.  The site is part of the residential backyard for 6873 Notre Dame Street that the Owners would like to convey to the commercial landowner abutting on the northwest.  This Zoning By-law amendment application has been made to fulfill a severance condition relating to a lot line adjustment. 

 

With this Zoning By-law amendment, the abutting landowner to the northwest will consolidate this site with 2396  St. Joseph Boulevard and extend the current commercial use at that location.   

 

DISCUSSION

 

The site is designated “General Urban Area” in the City Council Approved Official Plan and "General Urban Area" in the former Regional Official Plan.  This designation promotes the development of a full range and choice of housing types to meet the needs of all ages, incomes and life circumstances, in combination with conveniently located employment, service, cultural, leisure, entertainment and institutional uses.  It further promotes mixed-use communities that are diverse and adaptable to changing needs.  The primary land use in this designation is intended to be residential, however other ancillary commercial and institutional uses may also be permitted subject to criteria.

 

The former City of Gloucester Official Plan designates the site and its corresponding subject property as  “Residential”.  The “Residential” designation promotes a full range of housing types and densities.

 

The former Gloucester Official Plan designates the St. Joseph Boulevard lands north of the subject site as Neighbourhood Commercial.  This designation promotes a moderate range of retail and service uses geared to satisfy the day-to-day needs of residents and is developed as independent plazas, enclosed malls, or planned groups of retail stores.

 

Zoning By-Law

 

The site is zoned Residential, Single Dwelling (Rs 1), is currently vacant and abuts the Cm zone.  The applicant's request to change the residential zone to a commercial zone so as to extend 2396 St. Joseph Boulevard's parking lot is considered appropriate for the site.

 

The additional Cm land will aid in the development of 2396 St. Joseph Boulevard, and in particular, help alleviate the shortage of parking.  The re-zoning for this portion of 6873 Notre Dame Street will also help rationalize an irregular zoning boundary that separates the residential properties on Notre-Dame Street and the commercial properties on St. Joseph Boulevard.

 

An application has been submitted for Site Plan Control Approval for the demolition of a two‑storey commercial building and reconstruction of single-storey commercial building on the same foundation.  All technical issues related to environmental concerns have been addressed, and the details of the site plan, including access, screening, and grading/drainage will be finalized as part of that approval.  


 

CONSULTATION

[U3] 

Notice of this application was carried out in accordance with the City’s Public Notification and Consultation Policy.  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.

Chair Hume 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.

 

Jean Pierre Groulx, Bell Canada, was present in support of the recommendation contained in departmental report dated 18 May 2005.  The Committee approved the recommendation.

 

That the Planning and Environment Committee recommend Council approve an amendment to the former Gloucester Zoning By-Law to change the zoning for the northern portion of 6873 Notre Dame Street from Residential, Single Dwelling Zone (Rs1) to Commercial Mixed Use zone (Cm) as shown in Document 1.
