REPORT RECOMMENDATION
That the
Planning and Environment Committee recommend Council approve an amendment to
the Zoning By-law 2008-250 to change the zoning of 425 Goulbourn Forced Road
from R3V V[1028], R3V V[1029] and I1A/R3V V[1029] to R3V V[xxxx], R3V V[xxxy]
and I1A/R3V V[xxxy] as detailed in Documents 1 and 2.
RECOMMANDATION DU RAPPORT
Que le Comité de l’urbanisme et de l’environnement
recommande au Conseil d’approuver une modification au Règlement de zonage
2008-250 afin de changer la désignation de zonage du 425, chemin Goulbourn
Forced de R3V V[1028], R3V V[1029] et IlA/R3V V[1029] à R3V V[xxxx], R3V
V[xxxy], IlA/R3V V[xxxy], comme il est expliqué en détail dans les documents 1
et 2.
BACKGROUND
The portion of 425 Goulbourn Forced Road that is the subject of this rezoning application is north of Brunskill Way, south of Kizell Pond, and immediately west of Goulbourn Forced Road. The site extends west to the unopened road allowance between Concessions 1 and 2 of the former Township of March.
Purpose
of Zoning Amendment
The proponent wishes to establish two new exception zones for the Residential Third Density Zone, subzone V V zone. These new exception zones would modify the minimum rear yard and interior side yard setbacks.
The subject site can be divided
into three areas with three different zones: one area is zoned Residential
Third Density Zone, Subzone V V, special exception 1028, the second is zoned
Residential Third Density Zone, Subzone V V, special exception 1029, and the
third area has a dual zone, Minor Institutional Zone, Subzone A and Residential
Third Density Zone, Subzone V V, special exception 1029.
It is proposed to amend the residential zones
using two new special exceptions. The
new exceptions zones would reduce the minimum rear yard setback from 7.5 metres
to six metres for dwellings with two or more storeys. The proposed zoning would also remove the site-specific provisions
for the minimum interior side yard setbacks, and apply the standard provisions
in the Residential Third Density, Subzone V V.
The existing exception zones require the following minimum interior side
yard setbacks: 1.2 metres for detached and semi-detached dwellings; and one
metre on one side and 1.5 metres on the other side for multiple attached
dwellings. The proposed zoning would
require the following minimum interior side yard setbacks: 0.9 metres for
semi-detached dwellings; 1.2 metres for multiple attached dwellings; and a
minimum total interior side yard setback of 1.8 metres, with one yard at least
0.6 metres wide, for detached dwellings.
DISCUSSION
The lands are designated General Urban Area in the Official Plan. This designation permits a broad range of uses including all housing types and densities. The requested amendments to the zone provisions would be in compliance with the provisions of the General Urban Area designation.
Under
Zoning By-law 2008-250, the applicant is proposing to rezone the lands from
Residential Third Density Zone, Subzone V V, special exception 1028,
Residential Third Density Zone, Subzone V V, special exception 1029, and a dual
zone comprised of the Minor Institutional Zone, Subzone A, with Residential
Third Density Zone, Subzone V V, special exception 1029, to two new special
exception zones that require a minimum rear yard setback of six metres for
dwellings with two storeys or more, and require the standard minimum interior
side yard setbacks in the Residential Third Density Subzone V V.
The
proposed minimum interior side yard and rear yard setbacks are consistent with
the standard setbacks required in the Residential Third Density Zone, Subzone V
V, and staff is recommending that the Zoning Map of By-law 2008-250 be amended
as detailed in Document 2 to create the R3V V[xxxx], R3V V [xxxy] and the
I1A/R3V V[xxxy] zones.

NOTIFICATION AND CONSULTATION PROCESS
Notification and public consultation was undertaken in accordance with the Public Notification and Public Consultation Policy approved by City Council for Zoning By-law amendments.
SUMMARY OF PUBLIC INPUT
1) Comment: Is the developer proposing to build homes closer together and nearer the road? If this is the case, I would see this as a problem because denser development will cause traffic concerns.
Response: The applicant is not proposing to change the zoning by-law to modify the minimum front yard setback to allow the homes to be located closer to the street. The applicant is proposing to modify the side yard and rear yard setbacks, which would allow the homes to built closer together and provide greater flexibility in the siting of the houses on the lots. The applicant is not proposing to revise the plan of subdivision to create additional lots. Therefore, there would be no traffic impact from the proposed zoning modifications.
2)
Comment:
Proper wood fencing should be built on both sides of Goulbourn Forced
Road. Once this development starts
populating the area more heavily, calming measures need to be made on Goulbourn
Forced Road – traffic cutting through to Morgan’s Grant travel much too fast on
a road which was not designed for the amount of traffic it is now
receiving. Once we have traffic coming
out from the new development there could be accidents caused by this.
Response: The Environmental Assessment study for Goulbourn Forced Road proposes two roundabouts, which will accommodate traffic. It must however be recognized that Goulbourn Forced Road is one of the major roads in the community and is intended at times to carry significant volumes of traffic. When the design for Goulbourn Forced Road is finalized, the design of any required noise barriers will also be finalized.
3) Comment: It would be nice to keep the area having its natural look and feel – by cramming houses together and generating a lot of traffic we lose a lot of that charm and greenspace feeling in an area that boarders environmentally protected lands.
Response: As discussed above, there will be no increase in traffic as the applicant is not proposing to increase the number of dwelling units in the subdivision. The proposed reduction to the minimum interior side yard setbacks is minor and will not significantly detract from the streetscape character of the subdivision. The reduction of the rear yard setback from 7.5 metres to 6 metres is also minor and will maintain an adequate outdoor amenity area for each lot.
