1. d’approuver une modification au Règlement
de zonage 2008-250 visant à faire passer la désignation de zonage du 2322,

BACKGROUND
The site is located in the future Eastridge community
which is south-east of Notting Gate.
Generally, Eastridge is situated west of Trim Road and north of the
Blackburn By-Pass Extension, in Orleans.
The subject land is characterized as an abandoned agricultural
pasture. The parcel encompasses
approximately 9.8 hectares (24.2 acres) and is predominantly flat and grassed
with some trees and scrub vegetation.
The site has been cleared in selected areas for development. Primary access to the site is available from
Trim Road which runs along the eastern boundary of the property. Several local roads from a future
development located north of the property will be extended to connect to the
road pattern of this development.
The applicant is proposing to change the Comprehensive Zoning By-law and Zoning By-law of the former City of Cumberland to a number of residential zones which will permit single family and townhouse development. This new zoning would conform to the lot and road pattern outlined in the Draft Plan of a Subdivision filed by the applicant.
The proposal is for the development of 114 lots for single detached dwellings and six blocks for 73 townhomes.
The Comprehensive Zoning By-law zones the lands DR (Development Reserve), which recognizes lands intended for future urban development in areas designated as General Urban Area.
The subject lands are zoned D-R (Development - Residential) in the former City of Cumberland Zoning By-law which represents approval in principle of future residential development of the lands.
The purpose of this
Zoning By-law amendment is to permit the construction of single detached
dwellings and street row dwellings in accordance with the Draft Plan of
Subdivision. The proposed zoning makes use of a number of existing zones, with
some exceptions to specifically recognize specific development requirements
proposed, such as an increase in lot coverage and an increase in driveway
width.
DISCUSSION
The Official Plan designates the subject property as "General Urban Area" which permits a full range of types and densities of housing to meet the needs of all ages, incomes and life circumstances, including low, medium and high density housing and seniors' apartments, in combination with well located employment, shopping, service, cultural, leisure, park, natural areas and institutional uses to facilitate the development of complete and sustainable communities. The proposed single dwellings and townhomes are residential uses permitted within this designation.
The Development Reserve and Development-Residential zones of the Comprehensive Zoning By‑law and the former City of Cumberland Zoning By-law, respectively, recognize that the subject lands are intended for future development. The proposed subdivision is a continuation of the residential development to the north and the street layout corresponds to and extends the existing road network.
The proposed zoning for this subdivision conforms to the proposed development as approved in the draft plan of subdivision. The proposed zoning generally utilizes existing zones within the Zoning By-law and their provisions; therefore, the general form of development has been contemplated as appropriate. Modifications are proposed to the lot coverage and driveway width. These modifications are appropriate and do not raise concerns with respect to the impact on abutting properties or the function of the development.
The increase in driveway width to a maximum of 6.01 metres is only applicable to end units within a townhouse block, which are approximately 11 metres in width. The increase in driveway width continues to provide sufficient area of landscaping in the front and side yard and the placement of the driveway is restricted by the proximity to an intersection.
As part of the application, a request for the reduction of the rear yard abutting an arterial in the R1F-Xx zone was made. This reduction would have the effect of applying to one lot, which abuts a portion of the proposed Blackburn By-pass Extension (east of the walkway on the south side of Mickelberry Crescent, Lot 16 on the Draft Plan of Subdivision). A dwelling has not been proposed for this lot; however, the request has been made to ensure that all the dwelling models of the builder will be able to be accommodated on this lot. Staff do not recommend the reduction, as there are currently options, either through placement or design, to accommodate a dwelling without the need for a reduction. The increased rear yard setback is to minimize the noise impacts generated from the arterial road and to ensure that any noise mitigation requirement can be accommodated while still providing for a usable rear yard. A noise study is required to be prepared and approved by the City prior to final plan of subdivision.
The proposed Draft Plan of Subdivision has been reviewed and approval was pending at the time of the writing of this report. Concurrence of the Draft Plan conditions has been obtained from the Councillor and applicant.
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. The City did not receive any negative comments or opposition to this application.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
APPLICATION PROCESS TIMELINE STATUS
The application was not processed by the "On Time Decision Date" established for the processing of Zoning By-law amendments as the Draft Plan of Subdivision was reviewed concurrently and the zoning was delayed until such time as the draft plan of subdivision was approved.
