BACKGROUND
The subject site is located at 5645 First Line Road within the Village of Manotick on the east side of First Line Road, north of Century Road. A Zoning By-law amendment application has been submitted to facilitate the development of a proposed plan of subdivision. The draft plan of subdivision forms a portion of the Council approved Manotick Special Design Area Concept Development Plan and Environmental Management Plan.
The site is approximately 4.46 hectares in size. This irregular shaped parcel is vacant with areas of levelled farmland and woodland areas along the banks of Mud Creek.
Proposed Development
This site forms part of an overall development scheme within the Manotick Special Design Area. Access to this site will be provided via the approved draft plan of subdivision to the north, known as Watterson Place Holdings Phase 3.
The draft subdivision plan proposes seven single detached residential lots on individual wells and septic systems. The lots front onto a municipal 20-metre right-of-way that terminates in a cul-de-sac. Also included in the development proposal is a walkway block connection to the Mud Creek pathway system. Environmentally sensitive lands have also been identified as per the Council approved Environmental Management Plan and will be placed in public ownership and zoned accordingly.
This is an application to rezone the subject property in order to facilitate development of the proposed plan of subdivision.
Ontario Municipal Board Appeals to the City of Ottawa Comprehensive Zoning By-law
On October 23, 2008 the Ontario Municipal Board issued a decision
permitting the unchallenged provisions of the Comprehensive Zoning By-law to
come into force. Effective immediately,
those provisions not subject to appeal are in force retroactive to the date of
enactment, being June 25, 2008.
For the purpose of this zoning amendment two zones are being proposed. They are the (V1P) Village Residential First Density Zone and the (O1) Parks and Open Space Zone. As a result of the recent decision of the Ontario Municipal Board the O1 Zone provisions remain under appeal. As such, in addition to amending the Comprehensive Zoning By-law for lands proposed as O1, an amendment to the former Township of Rideau By-law (2004-428) will also be required to address those lands to be recognized as Environmental Protection Zone.
The property is currently zoned (DR1) – Development Reserve Zone, Subzone 1 in the Zoning By-law 2008-25 and (EP) – Environmental Protection Zone in the former Township of Rideau Zoning By-law 2004-428. The DR1 zone limits the range of uses to protect for future development however does provide for some types of farm uses with provisions for a detached dwelling, accessory to a permitted use. The EP zone for the most part limits development potential to existing uses.
It is proposed to rezone a portion of the property to (V1P) – Village Residential First Density, Sub Zone P to permit single detached homes on lots having a minimum width of 30 metres, and a minimum area of 1390 square metres. Further, those lands identified for protection in the Council approved Manotick Special Design Area Concept Development Plan and Environmental Management Plan will be rezoned to (O1) - Parks and Open Space Zone.
With respect to the outstanding appeals of the Zoning By-law to the O1 provisions, the former Township of Rideau By-law will also be amended to (EP - Environmental Protection Zone) reflect the lands to be protected as prescribed by the Manotick Special Design Area Concept Development Plan and Environmental Management Plan.
DISCUSSION
The lands that are subject to this application are designated Village in the Official Plan.
The Secondary Plan for the Village of Manotick, being part of the Official Plan, provides that the Special Design Area is to be developed on private services.
Development within the Special Design Area required approval of a concept plan for development. This concept plan was approved by City Council on July 11, 2006.
The Concept Plan established the following principles to guide development in the Special Design Area:
- Development will be single detached residential development based on private servicing.
- Lot sizes of between 0.4 and 0.6 hectares will be permitted, or as determined by more current investigations. Precise lot sizes in individual developments will be based upon findings detailed in hydrogeological studies that will be required for approval for each plan of subdivision proposed.
- Two permanent intersections and one optional-temporary access will be required from First Line Road and one access from Bankfield Road. The location and design of these accesses will be confirmed by future traffic studies required to support individual plans of subdivision.
- The Concept Plan identifies environmentally sensitive lands along the Mud Creek corridor. The Concept Plan requires that no development occur in these lands and that they rest in public ownership. The City plans to develop pathway linkages, where possible, within these lands, along Mud Creek and two pedestrian crossings of the creek are proposed.
- A requirement for a 0.4- to 0.8-hectare neighbourhood park to be centrally located.
- Woodlots within the Special Design Area have been assessed. While not significant enough to warrant City acquisition of the woodlots, they should, as much as possible, be preserved in subsequent plans of subdivision using the Design with Nature/Protection of Vegetation Cover principles.
- The Concept Plan established that there is a significant groundwater recharge area within the Special Design Area. There is to be no development permitted within this area, though the exact boundary of these lands may be revised in the future at plan of subdivision stage if supported by more detailed, City-supported study.
The proposed zoning that includes (V1P) - Village Residential First Density, Subzone P
and (O1) - Parks and Open Space Zone and EP-Environmental Protection Zone (former
Township of Rideau Zoning By-law 2004-428) is appropriate for the subject
lands. It conforms to the Village
policies within the Official Plan and the Village of Manotick Plan and
adheres to the requirements set out in the City Council Approved Special Design
Area Concept Development Plan and Environmental Management Plan. The change in use will allow for the development of the lands in a way
that is sensitive to the existing natural features of Mud Creek. The proposed zone change is compatible with
surrounding land uses, which include low-density residential and rural land
uses.
ENVIRONMENTAL
IMPLICATIONS
On 11 July 2006 City Council approved an Environmental Management Plan
for the Manotick Special Design Area.
Recommendations of the Environmental Management Plan were incorporated
into the City Council Approved Special Design Area Concept Plan. The approved Concept Plan provides the
environmental parameters for development located in the Special Design
Area. The parameters have been met in
the proposed Zoning By-law amendment for the subject lands as follows:
- The protection of Mud Creek requires that portions of the properties adjacent to the creek be zoned accordingly. A condition requiring that these lands be transferred to the City will be secured through the approval of the plan subdivision.
RURAL IMPLICATIONS
The proposed Zoning By-law amendment will have no adverse effects on the rural community. The subject lands are already designated for development and do not contain agricultural resource lands.
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 due to the complexity of the issues associated with the location of the development limit line along Mud Creek.
