RECOMMANDATIONS DU RAPPORT

 

Que le Comité de l’agriculture et des questions rurales recommande au Conseil :

 

1.         d'approuver une modification au Règlement de zonage de l'ancien Canton de Osgoode, de manière à changer les dispositions des zones R(246), R(247) et R(248) s'appliquant aux 6911 à 6950, promenade Mary Anne, aux 6735 à 6850, rue Breanna Cardill et aux 1640 à 1664, allée Curly, tel qu'illustré dans le Document 1 et exposé en détail dans le Document 2.

BACKGROUND

 

The site is located on the west side of Old Prescott Road south of Donwell Drive in the south end of the Village of Greely.  It consists of properties within a registered subdivision that front on Mary Anne Drive, Breanna Cardill Street and Curly Lane.

 

This development, known as Shadowridge, was approved on the basis of a municipally owned and operated communal well and sewage disposal system.  Phase one of the subdivision was registered in 2007 and the communal systems are pending commissioning, that will allow for building permits to be issued.

 

The subdivision is developing with a few model homes under construction. The existing residential exception zones for the development have smaller lot areas, frontages and setbacks than the typical Residential Zone.

 

Purpose of Zoning Amendment

 

The lot coverage maximum of 15 percent was not changed when the original exception zones were introduced on the property.  The zones did not reflect the reduction in lot sizes and setbacks from the standard Residential Zone. As a result, the single, semi-detached and row dwelling models cannot be built in compliance with the maximum lot coverage.  The row dwellings are proposed to be carriage homes - a wider unit type and need to be closer to the interior and exterior side lot lines to reflect that built form.

 

Zoning

 

The existing zones in the former Township of Osgoode Zoning By-law are:

 

1)                  R(246) - Residential exception 246 for the singles along Mary Anne Drive;

2)                  R(247) - Residential exception 247 for the semi-detached dwellings on Curly Lane and the west side of Breanna Cardill  Street, and

3)                  R(248) - Residential exception 248 for the row dwellings on Breanna Cardill Street

 

The proposed new Comprehensive Zoning By-law zones the lands:

 

1)                  V1I(610r) - Village Residential First Density 610 rural for the singles.  It has a 15 per cent maximum lot coverage;

2)                  V2D(611r) - Village Residential Second Density 611 rural for the semi-detached dwellings.  It has a 40 per cent maximum lot coverage and an unspecified holding provision on the Zoning Map, and

3)                  V3G(612r) - Village Residential Third Density 612 rural for the row dwellings.  It has no maximum lot coverage and an unspecified holding provision on the Zoning Map.

 

Proposed Zoning

 

Osgoode Zoning By-law

 

1)    To increase the maximum lot coverage for each exception zone to permit the construction of singles, semi-detached and row dwellings, within each respective zone.

 

2)    To reduce side yard setbacks in the R(248) zone (for row dwellings) from 10.0 to 7.0 metres for the exterior side yard and from five to three metres for the interior side yard.

 

New Comprehensive Zoning By-law

 

It is anticipated that the draft New Comprehensive Zoning By-law will be passed by City Council in the near future.  With this in mind, it is recommended that the appropriate changes to the relevant zoning provisions in the new by-law be made as soon as possible after the new by‑law has been passed.

 

1)             To increase the lot coverage in the V1I(610r) zone to 30 per cent.

 

2)             To reduce the V3G(612r) zone minimum sideyard setbacks from 5.0 to 3.0 metres for the interior side yard and from 10.0 to 7.0 metres for the corner side yard setbacks.

 

3)             The ‘- h’ shown on the Draft Zoning By-law for the V2D(612r) and the V3G(612r) zones on the subject lands should be removed from the Zoning Map. 

 

 

DISCUSSION

 

The Official Plan designates the site as being in the Village of Greely.  The Village of Greely Community Design Plan applies to these lands. That plan identifies this subdivision as Residential and in addition permits semi-detached and row dwellings.

 

When the original zoning for this development was approved information on the units was not available.  Exception zones were created for the proposed single-family homes, semi-detached homes and row dwellings.  There was an attempt to create zones compatible with a Village setting, but with higher density to make the communal servicing cost effective.  In doing so, the lot areas and frontages were reduced, and the setbacks altered slightly.  The lot coverage maximum of 15 percent was not changed. 

 

The proposed single family and semi-detached homes would exceed the coverage, but would comply with the setbacks in the existing zoning.  The row dwellings proposed are carriage homes. Access to the rear yards would be through each unit’s garage and not via the typical access easement through the adjacent properties.  This results in a wider unit and the need to reduce the side yard requirements to implement this.  The carriage homes would also exceed the maximum lot coverage. 

 

Although the requested zone change by the applicant did not have a lot coverage maximum, staff consider it appropriate to apply a maximum as this is still a Village setting and it is important that this development fit with the existing residential development.  The proposed coverages are listed in Document 2.  The development will still be consistent with the original setbacks and village feel of Greely.  Staff supports the recommended zoning changes to reduce side yards for the row dwellings and to implement a more generous maximum lot coverage for all three housing forms.  The recommended changes to the Draft Zoning By-law are consistent with the recommended changes to the Osgoode Zoning By-law.

 

 

RURAL IMPLICATIONS

 

This Zoning By-law amendment will allow for additional housing forms to be built within a village while still being compatible with the village setting.
