REPORT RECOMMENDATION
That the Planning and Environment Committee recommend Council approve an amendment to the former Township of Goulbourn Zoning By-law to change the zoning of part of 1776 Maple Grove Road from “Parks and Recreation Zone” (PR) to “Residential Type One Special Exception 18 Zone” (R1-18) and from “Residential Type One Special Exception 18 Zone” (R1-18) to “Parks and Recreation Zone” (PR) as shown in Document 1.
RECOMMANDATION DU RAPPORT
Que le Comité de recommande au Conseil d’approuver une modification au Règlement de
zonage de l’ancien Canton de Goulbourn visant à faire passer la désignation de
zonage d’une partie de la propriété située au 1776, chemin Maple Grove de
« zone de parcs et loisirs » (PR) à « zone résidentielle de type
un, exception spéciale 18 » (R1-18) et de « zone résidentielle de
type un, exception spéciale 18 » (R1-18) à « zone de parcs et
loisirs » (PR), comme l’illustre le document 1.
BACKGROUND
The Mattamy Fairwinds South subdivision, known as 1776 Maple Grove Road, is located on the south side of Maple Grove Road, east and west of the Huntmar Drive extension and is bisected by the Poole Creek corridor. The lands that are subject to this Zoning By-law amendment application are contained within the Fairwinds South subdivision as shown in Document 1. The Mattamy lands are within the Kanata West Concept Plan (KWCP) development area.
The Fairwinds South subdivision is currently under construction. The lands are cleared and flat, recently graded for subdivision improvements. The lands on the north side of Maple Grove Road are draft approved for the Mattamy Fairwinds North subdivision. Other lands to the east, west and south are characterized as large tracks of vacant and former agricultural lands, now subject to development in the KWCP.
The Zoning By-law
amendment would allow lands previously set aside as neighbourhood parks in the
south west and south east quadrant of the subdivision to be rezoned from “Parks
and Recreation Zone” (PR) to “Residential Type-1 Special Exception Zone”
(R1-18) to allow for single-detached residential development and would rezone
new areas abutting the Poole Creek corridor from “Residential Type-1 Exception
Zone” (R1-18) to “Parks and Recreation Zone” (PR) to allow for the creation of
new municipal parks. The amendment
would also correct a zoning schedule anomaly associated with the park in the
north west quadrant of the subdivision.
DISCUSSION
The subject lands are designated General Urban Area in the Official Plan and are included in the Kanata West Concept Plan. The Poole Creek Corridor is designated Major Open Space. The lands that are subject to the rezoning application are within the draft approved Fairwinds South subdivision. The relocation of the parks is a change to the draft approved plan prior to registration.
The draft approved subdivision is in conformity with the policies of the Official Plan and is in keeping with the Kanata West Concept Plan. With the shift in park location, the subdivision remains in conformity with the General Urban Area and Major Open Space policies and the KWCP.
The reconfiguration and relocation of the park in the south west quadrant of the subdivision will not impact negatively on the park’s ability to be designed and function as a neighbourhood park. The change in configuration of the park in the south east quadrant, from a linear park to a triangular shaped park, will provide more design options for this park. The new location of both of these parks, adjacent to the Poole Creek corridor, will enable the Poole Creek corridor pathway system to pass through both parks. Direct connection to the pathway system and location adjacent to the corridor, will enhance public access to, and visibility of, the corridor. Maximizing access and visibility of the corridor from adjacent developments is one of the design objectives set out in the KWCP.
There will be no negative environmental impact on the Poole Creek corridor as the parks will be above the “top of bank” similar to the adjacent residential lots. These neighbourhood parks will remain in the area designated General Urban Area and will not be included in the lands designated Major Open Space.
The zoning schedule prepared at the time of the Zoning By-law amendment application to implement the draft approved Fairwinds South subdivision showed the area zoned as “Parks and Recreation” in the north west quadrant larger than the park that was approved on the draft plan of subdivision. Staff are recommending that this anomaly be corrected as part of this Zoning By‑law amendment.
Staff are recommending approval of the Zoning By-law amendment. The amendment is in conformity with the applicable policies of the Official Plan and contributes to the design objectives of the KWCP.
