REPORT RECOMMENDATION
That the Planning and Environment
Committee recommend Council approve an amendment to the former City of
Gloucester Zoning By-Law to change the zoning of 5080 Albion Road from Me
(Industrial Extraction Zone) to Me (Ex) (Industrial Extraction, exception x) as
shown in Document 1 and as detailed in Document 2.
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 la désignation de zonage du
5080, chemin Albion de Me (zone d’extraction industrielle) à Me (Ex) zone
d’extraction industrielle, exception x), tel qu’il est indiqué dans le document
1 et détaillé dans le document 2.
BACKGROUND
The subject property is located on the southwest corner of Rideau and Albion
Roads. The 0.83‑hectare site currently
contains a century old
single dwelling, a detached garage, sheds and an unoccupied barn, as well as a
pump house that also shelters a septic system. The surrounding area consists of vacant lands.
It was retained for residential use when the owner obtained consent to
sever and convey a larger portion of her property to an abutting landowner. The owner, who would like to use
the site for residential purposes, has obtained consent to sever the property
subject to the severed and the retained properties conforming to the Zoning
By-law.
The
current zoning does not permit a single family dwelling. This non-conformity is
being addressed through this Zoning By-law process.
DISCUSSION
Official Plan and Zoning Provisions
The site is designated General Rural Area on
Schedule A of the City Council Approved Official Plan and the former Regional
Official Plan, which permit limited residential uses. The former City of
Gloucester Official Plan designates the site as Limited Development, with a
Mineral Resources Constraints overlay, which does not permit residential uses.
However, these former Gloucester policies no longer apply as Schedule A of the
City Council Approved Official Plan has been approved and its policies take
precedence. The site is currently zoned Me, Industrial Extraction zone. This
zone does not permit residential uses. The dwelling existed on the site at the
date of passing of the Zoning By-law and subsequently was protected by zoning
provisions for continuance of legal non-conforming uses. Now that the site of
the house has been severed, it must be rezoned to recognize the existing use.
Staff supports the proposed amendment because
it is consistent with the policies in the Official Plans. The existing
single-family dwelling is in keeping with the general character of the area.
CONSULTATION
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.
