REPORT RECOMMENDATION
That the Planning and Environment Committee recommend Council approve an amendment to the former Nepean Zoning By-law to change the zoning for 3023 Cedarview Road from Commercial Neighbourhood - (CN) Zone to Commercial Neighbourhood - (Cn) Block XX Zone 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 Nepean afin de changer le zonage du 3023,
chemin Cedarview de Zone de commerce de quartier – (CN) à Zone de commerce de
quartier – (Cn) bloc XX, tel qu’il est indiqué dans le document 1 et expliqué
en détail dans le document 2.
BACKGROUND
The applicant has filed an application to add ‘private club’ as a permitted main use to the existing Commercial Neighbourhood – (CN) Zone at 3023 Cedarview Road.
The site is situated in the Cedarview Mall existing neighbourhood plaza, located on the south/east corner of Cedarview Road and Kennevale Drive. This site is surrounded by existing townhomes to the south, existing single dwellings to the north and east, and a residential development currently under construction to the west.
Purpose of
Zoning By-law Amendment
The purpose of this Zoning By-law amendment is to add ‘private club’ as a permitted main use. This would allow the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 641, a small gathering place for up to approximately 100 Legion members, to meet both formally and informally.
The proposed use is relatively minor in comparison to the uses already permitted under the existing CN zoning. It should be noted that the ‘Commercial Neighbourhood Zone – (CN) allows for restaurants as a main use at this location. However, the proposed use is expected to be less intensive than a typical restaurant, since it will be used as a meeting place for its members and guests.
DISCUSSION
Official Plan
The site is designated as ‘General Urban Area’ in the Official Plan. This designation supports a broad mix of uses that serve the everyday needs of the public; including shopping, schools, recreation and services. The proposed zoning is in conformity and is in keeping with the intent of these policies.
Details of Proposed Zoning
An exception zoning will be added to ‘Commercial Neighbourhood’ – (CN) as outlined in Document 2. The proposed usage will allow for ‘Private Club’ as a permitted use. The existing convenience plaza has a gross leasable floor area (GLFA) is approx. 1338 sq metres and contains 106 parking spaces. The Royal Canadian Legion Branch 641 proposes to lease approximately 169.3-metre space in the mall.
The ‘Commercial Neighbourhood’ zoning permits a restaurant to operate at this location. However, it should be noted that the proposed private club will be used as a meeting place for its members and guests, but unlike a typical restaurant will not be as intensive a use, since it will not be serving meals.
Staff supports the Zoning By-law amendment proposal based on the above-noted considerations and recommends that Planning and Environment Committee approve the application as presented.
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, and supports the proposed changes.

PUBLIC COMMENTS
Comment:
If the mall is allowed to have a tenant that can serve alcohol this opens the door for any type of bar to apply and open up in that mall (a stepping stone). This will increase noise (to whatever hours) and activity (normal or otherwise) levels, which are counter to a family oriented community.
Response:
According to the consultant's report that was submitted with the Zoning By-law amendment application "light refreshments, including alcoholic beverages" are to be served to Legion members and their guests only. The premises will not be open to the general public and liquor licensing requirements are to be strictly enforced. It should further be noted that the Legion will be using this location only in the interim, until such time as the membership size warrants larger permanent facilities at a different location. It should be emphasized that the intent of the Royal Canadian Legion is a local service club (for members only) and the club is intended to serve the Barrhaven Community; while at the same time the intent for this location is to provide a convenient place for the Legion's members to meet. The Legion has advised that the use of the premises will be light and should not place any adverse impact on the surrounding community.
