RECOMMANDATION DU
RAPPORT
Que le Comité de recommande au Conseil
Que le Comité de recommande au Conseil d'approuver une
modification au Règlement de zonage de l'ancien Canton de West Carleton, de
manière à faire passer le zonage du 2146, chemin Aylwin de Zone rurale, RU, à Zone rurale – Usage temporaire, RU-t, afin de permettre sur les lieux un pavillon-jardin pour une période
de dix ans, tel qu’illustré dans le Document 1 et exposé en détail dans le
Document 2, sous réserve de la ratification par le propriétaire d’une entente
de pavillon-jardin avec la Ville d’Ottawa, conformément à l’article 39(1.2) de
la Loi sur l’aménagement du territoire, qui stipule ce qui suit :
i)
le pavillon-jardin ne doit être occupé que
par les parents du propriétaire;
ii)
le pavillon-jardin sera enlevé si les
occupants n’en ont plus besoin à tout moment avant le terme de la période de
dix ans;
iii)
le pavillon-jardin sera enlevé au terme de
la période de dix ans, sauf si une prolongation a été demandée et approuvée par
le Conseil municipal avant l’expiration du Règlement sur les usages

BACKGROUND
The subject site is a 20-hectare property
located on the south side of Aylwin Road between Canon Smith Drive and Ferry
Road. The property is currently occupied by a detached dwelling, garage and
several barns. The easterly portion of the property is wooded, with the
remainder being agricultural in use. Rural residential dwellings and farms
occupy the surrounding properties.
The current zoning of the
property, under Bylaw 266-81 of the former Township of West Carleton, is Rural
Zone (Ru), which permits a detached dwelling, farm, kennel, nursery, and other
rural uses.
The requested Zoning By-law amendment would allow a
temporary site-specific exception to the Rural Zone, to permit a garden suite
as an additional use on the property for a period of 10 years. A garden suite
(sometimes known as a granny flat) is a one-unit detached residential structure
containing bathroom and kitchen facilities that is ancillary to an existing
residential structure and that is designed to be portable. The Planning
Act permits a garden suite for a temporary 10-year period, subject to a
by-law amendment. The garden suite is subject to an agreement setting out the
terms of occupancy, and is to be removed when no longer required. A further
three-year extension may be requested if required at the end of the initial
10-year term.
The owner is proposing to install a modular dwelling
unit, approximately 85 square metres in area, to be used as a garden suite for
her parents, who require ongoing care due to ill health. The garden suite would
be located approximately 45 metres from the front property line, and
14 metres east of the existing dwelling. The garden suite would be
connected to the existing private well and septic system.
DISCUSSION
The subject lands are designated Agricultural
Resource Area in the Official Plan. The intent of this designation is to
protect major area of agricultural lands from loss to other uses, and ensure
that uses which would conflict with agricultural operations are not established
in productive farming areas. Residential uses in the form of detached dwellings
or farm housing are permitted, and policies for generally permitted uses such
as secondary dwelling units are subject to the policies of Section 3.1,
which ensure that various forms of housing such as secondary dwelling units and
garden suites are permitted wherever residential uses are generally permitted.
Where the Zoning By-law permits a dwelling, a garden suite may be permitted
subject to rezoning as a temporary use.
Due to its temporary nature, the existence of a
second dwelling unit will not have any negative impact on the subject site or
the surrounding properties. The subject site is an appropriate location for the
garden suite unit because, due to the rural nature of the area, there are no
houses in proximity. The garden suite will be located in a cleared area near
the existing dwelling, on a portion of the property that is not being actively
cultivated.
The owner will be required to enter into an
agreement with the City, which specifies the obligations of the property owner:
that occupancy of the unit is to be restricted to the owner's parents, and that
the unit is to be removed when no longer required by the occupants, or at the
end of the 10-year period. A further three-year extension may be sought if the
unit is still required, if the extension is requested and approved by City
Council prior to expiry of the Temporary Use Bylaw. The Garden Suite Agreement
will be prepared by Legal Services and must be executed by the owner prior to
the enactment of the Zoning By-law by City Council.
The proposed development complies with all Official Plan policies that encourage various types of rural development. Staff support this Zoning By-law amendment because the proposed use is compatible with the surrounding area and conforms to the applicable policies outlined within the Official Plan.
