REPORT RECOMMENDATION

 

That the Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee recommend Council approve an amendment to the Zoning By-law 2008-250 to change the zoning of 6622 Rideau Valley Drive from Development Reserve Subzone 1 (DR1) to Village Residential First Density Subzone P (V1P) as shown in Document 1.

 

RECOMMANDATION DU RAPPORT

 

Que le Comité de l'agriculture et des affaires rurales recommande au Conseil d’approuver une modification au Règlement de zonage 2008-250 afin de changer la désignation de zonage du 6622, promenade Rideau Valley de Zone d’aménagement futur, sous-zone 1 (DR1) à Zone résidentielle de village de densité 1, sous-zone P (V1P), comme il est indiqué dans le Document 1.

 

 

BACKGROUND

 

The subject property is located in the Village of Kars on the west side of Rideau Valley Drive south of Cobe Terrace. (6622 Rideau Valley Drive).

 

The development site is a former unlicensed gravel pit and is approximately 5.55 hectares in size.  The property is bounded by residential lands fronting onto Roger Stevens Drive on the north, a road allowance and cemetery on the south, residential lands on the west and Rideau Valley Drive on the east.

 

On July 19, 2007 the Owner filed Plan of Subdivision and Zoning By-law Amendment applications. The plan of subdivision was draft approved on October 19, 2010 (see Document 3).  The plan of subdivision provides for 13 single detached Village residential lots. With access off of Rideau Valley Drive, the lots front on an internal public road (cul-de-sac).  The lot areas range from 2300 square metres to 5100 square metres in size.  The residential lots will be serviced by individual wells and septic systems.  A condition of final approval requires the Owner, prior to registration of the Plan, to ensure that the proposed plan conforms to a Zoning By-law approved under the requirements of the Planning Act.

 

Purpose of Zoning Amendment

 

This is an application to rezone 6622 Rideau Valley Drive from Development Reserve Subzone 1 (DR1) to Village Residential First Density Subzone P (V1P) in order to facilitate development of the approved draft plan of subdivision.

 

Existing Zoning

 

The property is currently zoned Development Reserve Subzone 1 (DR1).  The DR1 designation is intended to recognize future village development areas and limit land uses to those that would not preclude development.

 

Proposed Zoning

 

As a result of the approved plan of subdivision, the lands will be rezoned to permit for single detached dwellings.  The lands will be rezoned to Village Residential First Density Subzone P (V1P).

 

 

DISCUSSION

 

The Zoning Amendment was filed concurrently with the Plan of Subdivision application.  The lands that are subject to this application are within the “Village” designation as identified on Schedule ‘A’, Rural Policy Plan of the Official Plan and zoned Development Reserve Subzone 1 (DR1).

The boundaries established for the Village of Kars were intended to reflect the direction of development for a twenty year planning period to the year 2010. The establishment of such boundaries set out the extent of the area within which long-term planning for the amount and rate of growth would take place.  Further lands intended for future growth within the Village of Kars were placed in reserve zones to protect and ensure the orderly development of these lands.  Generally, it is intended that the primary use of such lands on suitable areas within the Village boundaries would be for low density residential purposes.

 

The approved plan of subdivision allows for development that will be compatible with the surrounding area. The draft approved plan conforms to the direction of the Official Plan, more specifically Volume 2C Village Plans, Village of Kars.  The conditions of draft approval were supported by the applicant and the Ward Councillor.   All public concerns and technical issues raised during the subdivision process were addressed; no objections were received.

 

This Zoning By-law amendment implements the approved draft plan of subdivision through the introduction of an appropriate zone to permit development.

 

 

RURAL IMPLICATIONS

 

The proposal is consistent with the Official Plan that guides the development of the Village of Kars.  The proposed Zoning By-law amendment will have no adverse effects on the rural community.
