RECOMMANDATION DU RAPPORT

 

1.                  Que le Comité de l’agriculture et des questions rurales recommande au Conseil d’approuver une modification au Règlement de zonage de l’ancien Canton de West Carleton visant à prolonger, pour une période de trois ans, l’utilisation temporaire à titre de Zone rurale (RU-t) du 2234, chemin Upper Dwyer Hill, comme il est illustré au Document 1 et précisé au Document 2, sous réserve de la condition suivante :

 

2.                  Qu’avant la présentation du règlement au Conseil, le propriétaire conclut une entente avec la Ville d’Ottawa, comme il est précisé à l’alinéa 39.1(1) de la Loi sur l’aménagement du territoire déterminant que :

 

i.        que la construction résidentielle accessoire sera occupée exclusivement par la soeur du propriétaire;ii.       que la construction résidentielle accessoire sera enlevée à la fin de la période de trois ans, à moins qu’une prolongation n’ait été demandée et approuvée par le Conseil municipal avant l’expiration du Règlement d’utilisation temporaire et

iii.      que la construction résidentielle accessoire sera enlevée lorsqu’elle ne sera plus requise par les occupants et ce, à n’importe quel moment avant l’expiration de la période de trois ans. 

 

BACKGROUND

 

The site is located at 2234 Upper Dwyer Hill Road, west of Highway 417, north of Vaughan Side Road, and south of Panmure Road. The site is 7.4 hectares in area with approximately 122 metres of frontage along Upper Dwyer Hill Road. There is an existing house, barn, detached garage, accessory residential home, and two sheds on-site. Coady Creek runs through the site and in the surrounding area are rural and agricultural uses.

 

DISCUSSION

 

City Council Approved Official Plan

 

The City Council Approved Official Plan designates the site as General Rural. The intent of this designation is to accommodate a variety of land uses that are appropriate for a rural location. Residential development is to be limited where such development will not conflict with existing agricultural and non-residential uses.

 

Former Regional Official Plan

 

The former Regional Official Plan designates the site as General Rural. The General Rural designation encourages rural development that is consistent with maintaining the rural character, as well as providing a choice of rural residential housing types.


 

Former Township of West Carleton Official Plan

 

The former Township of West Carleton Official Plan designates the site as Marginal Resource and Hazard Land (unstable slopes). Permitted uses in the Marginal Resource designation are agriculture, small-scale commercial, residential uses accessory to permitted uses, and non-farm residential development.

 

Proposed Zoning By-law Amendment

 

The property is zoned RU-t (Rural - temporary use) and RU-FP (Rural – flood plain). The purpose of the proposed amendment is to extend for a period of three years, the current temporary by-law that permits an accessory residential dwelling on the subject property. The former Township of West Carleton By-law 54 of 1996 permits an accessory residential structure for the sister of the owner and will expire on October 8, 2006.

 

The extension of By-law 54 of 1996 is appropriate as it is a temporary Zoning By-law amendment that does not conflict with surrounding agriculture or rural uses. The City Council Approved Official Plan encourages affordable and appropriate housing for all residents and diversity in the housing supply. Garden suites are permitted subject to a rezoning as a temporary use. The By-law extension conforms to the non-farm residential development policies of the City Council Approved Official Plan and the former Regional Official Plan.

 

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPLICATIONS

 

On Schedule K, Environmental Constraints, part of the site is within the Coady Creek flood plain. The Mississippi Conservation Authority did not raise concerns of the by-law extension and the existing accessory residential dwelling is outside of the RU-FP zone.

 

RURAL IMPLICATIONS

 

The accessory residential dwelling has not negatively affected the surrounding area and the temporary extension does not conflict with surrounding agricultural and rural 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.
