REPORT RECOMMENDATION
That the Planning and Environment Committee recommend Council approve an amendment to the former Goulbourn Zoning By-law to change the zoning of part of 5264 Fernbank Road from R4-12 (Residential Type 4, Special Exception 12) to R5-6 (Residential Type 5, Special Exception 6) as shown in Document 1 and detailed in Document 2.
RECOMMANDATION DU RAPPORT
Que le Comité de recommande au Conseil d’approuver une modification au Règlement de
zonage de l’ancien Canton de Goulbourn afin de changer la désignation de zonage
d’une partie du 5264, chemin Fernbank de R4-12 (zone résidentielle de type 4
assortie d’une exception spéciale 12) à R5-6 (zone résidentielle de type 5
assortie d’une exception spéciale 6), tel qu’il est indiqué dans le document 1
et expliqué en détail dans le document 2).
BACKGROUND
The subject site is located at the southwest corner of the intersection of Fernbank Road and Eagleson Road. It is part of a draft approved Subdivision known as Bridlewood Trails with a municipal address of 5264 Fernbank Road. Land immediately north of the subdivision is vacant but is zoned to permit residential development. The Emerald Meadows community is to the east. Land immediately to the west of the subdivision is vacant. The subdivision is bounded to the west and south by the southern extension of Terry Fox Drive.
The parcel of land to be rezoned is 0.12 ha in area and is situated at the centre of the property as shown in Document 1. An existing area of land immediately adjacent to the south is presently zoned R5-6 and is anticipated to be developed for stacked townhouses.
The application proposes to rezone this small triangular portion of land at the centre of the subdivision from R4-12 (Residential Type 4, Special Exception 12 zone) to R5-6 (Residential Type 5, Special Exception 6 zone). The current R4-12 zoning permits the development of street townhouse units. The proposed R5-6 zoning would permit apartments and stacked townhouses as well as townhouses. A minor revision to the subdivision to reconfigure the residential block intended for stacked townhouse development has resulted in the need for this zoning change. The rezoning will change the zone boundary between the R4-12 zone and the R5-6 zone in order to match the revised lot line for the stacked townhouse block on the plan of subdivision.
The application is also requesting that a zone provision be added to the R5-6 zone. The area of land zoned R5-6 (including the area affected by the subject Zoning By-law amendment) could accommodate eight stacked townhouse blocks. These blocks are part of a current site plan application D07-12-06-0081. The site will be planned as a whole through the site plan control process but will be registered in phases as common elements condominiums. As the condominiums are registered it will have the affect of further subdividing the block. These newly created land parcels may not comply with the zone provisions. To prevent any difficulties at the building permit stage, the subject amendment is proposing that a clause be added to the R5-6 zoned which states that “all land zoned R5-6 is considered one lot for the purposes of applying zone provisions”.
DISCUSSION
The Official Plan designates the
site Enterprise Area. The Enterprise
Area designation identifies areas where the primary land uses are commercial,
office, and industrial. The designation
does however, permit residential uses provided that the residential component
does not limit the ability of the area to achieve its original employment
target and the residential development is in the form of townhouses, stacked
townhouses or apartments. The plan of subdivision and the implementing Zoning
By-law were examined pursuant
to the policies of the Enterprise Area and were found to be in conformity.
The subject change in zoning represents a minor change to the original Zoning By-law amendment and implements a minor change to the draft approved subdivision plan. In particular, the form of housing permitted by the proposed zoning, stacked townhouses and apartments, is in conformity with the Enterprise Area policies.
Staff are recommending that the Zoning By-law
amendment be approved. The amendment complies with the policies of the
Enterprise Area designation and with the general intent and purpose of the
implementing Zoning By-law for the subdivision and represents only a minor
change to match the final property line for the stacked townhouse block. The
addition of the provision to the R5-6 will allow the block to be registered in
phases without resulting in by-law non compliance.
