REPORT RECOMMENDATION

That Planning and Environment Committee recommend that Council approve the amendments as described in the Details of Recommended Zoning in Document 1, for lands shown in Document 2, to resolve appeals to By-law 2008-250, and forward a by-law incorporating the required amendments to the Ontario Municipal Board.

RECOMMANDATION DU RAPPORT

Que le Comité de l’urbanisme et de l'environnement recommande au Conseil d’approuver, en ce qui a trait aux terrains indiqués dans le Document 2, les modifications, telles qu’elles sont décrites dans les Détails du zonage recommandé dans le Document 1, afin de résoudre l’appel du Règlement 2008-250 et de transmettre un règlement incorporant les modifications exigées à la Commission des affaires municipales.

BACKGROUND

On June 25, 2008 City Council adopted the new Comprehensive Zoning By-law 2008-250 that affects all properties within the City of Ottawa. A total of 76 appeals were received, however 16 were disqualified, as the appellants had not made any submissions on the Comprehensive Zoning By-law prior to its adoption.

Appeal 27, by Urbandale Corporation and KNL Developments, deals in part with the provisions for stacked dwellings in Section 111 - Bicycle Parking Space Rates and Provisions. In the appeal the appellant indicated that the required bicycle parking provisions should be amended in situations where a garage or carport is provided for the stacked dwelling unit. Further, the appellant stated that the requirement for a landscaped area in Section 111(5) increases the risk of theft. Staff met with the appellant and were able to reach an agreement regarding the bicycle parking provisions in Section 111.

Regarding Appeal 44 by Redeemer Alliance Church located at 4825 Innes Road, staff have met with the appellant, the appellant's agent and the Ward Councillor. At these meetings an agreement was reached regarding resolution of the appeal with regard to the zoning boundary for lands to be used by the Church as a parking lot.

Approval of the recommendations in this report would permit a By-law to be brought forward to the Ontario Municipal Board pre-hearing on October 28th to facilitate resolution of these appeals.

DISCUSSION

Appeal 27 - Urbandale Corporation and KNL Developments

Section 111 sets out the required number and location of bicycle parking spaces in the multiple forms of residential development such as apartment buildings and stacked dwellings, as well as for non-residential uses such as schools, libraries, banks and hospitals. The appellant has indicated that there is no need to provide common areas with bicycle parking facilities where a garage or carport is provided for each individual unit. In this situation, the bicycle parking can be accommodated within the garage or carport. Staff have agreed that it is appropriate to amend Section 111 to exempt stacked dwellings from providing bicycle parking if a garage or carport is provided for each stacked dwelling unit.

Regarding the requirement in Section 111 (5) to provide a landscaped area between a bicycle parking space and a lot line or an exit of a building, staff have agreed to delete this provision. This type of design-related issue is better dealt with through the site plan control approval process.

Appeal 44 - Redeemer Alliance Church

In March of 1990, a plan of subdivision was registered with respect to lands which included the property at 4825 Innes Road and the adjacent hydro corridor lands. The Subdivision Agreement provided for the dedication of the corridor lands to the former Township of Cumberland. In return, the Township agreed that the corridor lands would be used as off-site parking for any development which might occur on the adjacent lands at 4825 Innes Road. In December of 1990, the Redeemer Alliance Church purchased the property at 4825 Innes Road on the understanding that the corridor lands would be available for off-site parking. Under the former Cumberland Zoning By-law the entire area of the corridor lands was zoned Open Space Exception Zone (OS-X1), which permitted a parking lot use.

Under Zoning By-law 2008-250, the corridor lands were split down the middle and assigned two zones: O1 - Parks and Open Space Zone, and; O1[3] - Parks and Open Space Zone, Exception 3. Exception 3 permits a parking lot as an additional permitted use. A recreational pathway constructed by the City is planned to run the length of the corridor within the area zoned O1. The lands included within the O1[3] subzone cannot accommodate all of the parking anticipated to be needed by the Church. A small strip of land within the adjacent land zoned O1 is needed to complete the parking lot. Staff from the Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Department have provided their concurrence regarding amendment of the boundary of the O1[3] zone, as shown on Document 2, as there will still be sufficient room for the pathway to be accommodated within the O1 subzone. The municipal address of the affected area of the corridor is part of 1880 Portobello Boulevard.

The remaining component of the Church's appeal was with regard to recognition in the Comprehensive Zoning By-law of a minor variance that was granted in 1996. Staff were consistent in not recognizing minor variances through the public consultation process for the Comprehensive Zoning By-law, and, have continued with the same position through the process of resolving the appeals. Staff recognize that this may result in the Church needing a minor variance application in order to proceed with their plans for an addition in the future. However, given the need to be consistent, the length of time that has lapsed and that a new Zoning-By-law and Official Plan have been adopted by City Council, staff consider a minor variance application appropriate if development is proposed beyond what is permitted by Zoning By-law 2008-250. Staff will be requesting that the Board dismiss this portion of the Church's appeal.

In addition, staff are taking this opportunity to correct an anomaly regarding the zoning of the land where the Church is located. The zoning of the property needs to be amended to permit some or all of its required parking to be located on another lot. This would also affect an adjacent church located at 4831 Innes Road within the same zone. That church also uses a portion of the corridor for its required parking.

The new boundary proposed for the O1[3] zone represents good planning as it will provide space for the pathway, parking for the Church, given the lack of available on-street parking nearby, while still providing sufficient separation of the parking area from nearby residential uses to the north.

CONSULTATION

The appellants affected by the changes noted in Documents 1 and 2 have been notified of the public meeting.
