REPORT RECOMMENDATION
That the Planning and Environment
Committee recommend Council approve an amendment to the former Township of
Rideau Zoning By-Law to change the zoning of part of 2290 and part of 2300
Roger Stevens Drive from RV (Village Residential) and EP (Environmental
Protection) to a Special RV Zone as shown in Document 1 and as detailed in
Document 3.
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'ancien canton de Rideau, afin de changer le zonage
d'une partie du 2290 et d'une partie du 2300, promenade Roger-Stevens, qui
passerait de RV (Village résidentiel) et EP (Protection environnementale) à un
zonage spécial RV, tel qu'illustré dans le Document 1 et exposé en détail dans
le Document 3.
BACKGROUND
The Committee of Adjustment approved a severance for
the subject property on February 9, 2006. The severed parcel is known as 2300
Roger Stevens Drive and the retained land is known as 2240 and 2290 Roger
Stevens Drive.
The subject area is part of 2290 and part of 2300
Rogers Stevens Drive in the Village of North Gower. The site is on the south
side of Roger Stevens Drive and east of Fourth Line Road. The subject area is 4950 square metres with
approximately 66 metres of frontage along Roger Stevens Drive. The site is
generally vacant with the exception of a storage shed and grain bin that is
intended for removal as a condition imposed by the Committee of Adjustment. The
shed is not listed or designated as a heritage building; however, the applicant
was notified to contact the Design Committee for the Community Design Plan of
the Village of North Gower to determine whether the shed could be relocated in
order to preserve its historical value.
Stevens Creek and the 100-year flood line run along
the southern and eastern boundary of the site. The site is surrounded by
commercial, residential, and agricultural uses.
DISCUSSION
City Council Approved Official Plan
In the City Council Approved Official Plan, the
site is designated as Village on
Schedule A, Rural Policy Plan. A wide range of housing forms that meet the needs of the Village's
population is encouraged in this designation. On Schedule K, Environmental
Constraints, the site is partially designated as Flood Plain.
Former Regional Official Plan
The site is designated as Village and
Environmental Constraints Area (Flood Plain). The intent of the Village
designation is to provide housing for rural families and retired farmers who
wish to remain in the area as well as for others who desire an opportunity to
live in a community of a size and character which is distinctly different from
an urban or suburban neighbourhood. For
sites that are within a flood plain, interpretation will be based on maps
prepared by the Conservation Authorities and other pertinent information such
as land surveys.
Former Township of Rideau Official Plan
The subject lands are designated as Village
(Residential) and Hazard Lands (Flood Plain). The predominant use within the
Residential designation is low density residential. Multiple housing is also
permitted. For applications that are within a flood plain, applicants are
required to undertake studies to determine the location of the flood line and
demonstrate that the lands proposed for development are located above the flood
line.
Proposed Zoning By-Law Amendment
The site is zoned as Village Residential (RV)
and Environmental Protection (EP). The application proposes to remove the lands
zoned EP, which have been identified as being outside the Flood Plain, and
rezone the subject area to a Special RV Zone that permits a single dwelling
house and a semi- detached dwelling house.
The applicant has submitted a draft reference
plan that details the 100-year flood line. The Rideau Valley Conservation
Authority has reviewed the survey plan and confirmed that there is sufficient
area outside the flood line for a septic area to support semi-detached
dwellings for both the severed and retained parcels.
The Zoning By-law amendment is appropriate
because it supports the Village policies to provide different forms of housing
in the City Council Approved Official Plan, the Regional Official Plan, and the
former Township of Rideau Official Plan. The severed and retained parcels meet
the zoning provisions of minimum lot area and frontage.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPLICATIONS
It is appropriate that the lands zoned as EP are rezoned to a Special RV Zone as the draft Plan of Survey demonstrate that these lands are outside the 100-year flood line. The Rideau Valley Conservation Authority does not oppose the application.
RURAL IMPLICATIONS
The rezoning of the subject properties to the special zone designation will not negatively impact the surrounding land uses.
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.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

EXPLANATORY NOTE
By-law Number 2006-XX amends Zoning By-law 2004-428 of the former Township of Rideau. The amendment affects the property at 2290 and 2300 Roger Stevens Drive, which are located on the south side of Roger Stevens Drive and on the east side of Fourth Line Road, as shown on the attached Location Map.
The application is to rezone part of 2290 and part of 2300 Roger Stevens Drive from “RV” (Village Residential) and “EP” (Environmental Protection) to a Special RV Zone (RV-XX). The current zoning permits a single dwelling house and existing residential homes. The proposed rezoning will permit semi-detached residential units as well as a single dwelling house. The Zoning By-law Amendment will satisfy the zoning condition imposed by the Committee of Adjustment.
