the residential parking requirement for Stittsville from one to two spaces, as

RECOMMANDATION
DU RAPPORT
Que le Comité de l'urbanisme recommande
au Conseil d’approuver une modification au Règlement de zonage 2008-250 afin de faire passer
temporairement la norme pour le stationnement résidentiel à Stittsville de une
à deux places, comme le précise le document 1.
Purpose of Zoning Amendment
This proposed zoning amendment is the result of a motion passed by Planning Committee on January 24, 2012 which instructed staff to return to the March 13, 2012 Planning Committee meeting with a temporary Zoning By-law Amendment to reinstate a requirement in Stittsville for two parking spaces for detached, semi-detached and multiple attached properties with a front or corner side yard setback of three metres or less, to be in effect until December 31, 2012.
Existing Zoning
The current parking requirement for detached, semi-detached, and multiple attached dwellings in Stittsville is one space per dwelling unit.
Proposed Zoning
To require, on a temporary basis, two parking spaces, which may be provided in tandem, for detached, semi-detached, and multiple attached dwellings in R1, R2, R3, R4 and R5 zones in Stittsville where the required front yard setback or corner side yard setback is three metres or less. The temporary zoning provision would be in effect from March 28, 2012 to December 31, 2012.
Official Plan
This proposal conforms with the Official Plan, as per
Section 5.2.1, Policy 13 – Temporary Use Zones, which permits the City, in a Zoning By-law, to authorize the temporary use of lands,
buildings or structures for any purpose set out therein that is otherwise
prohibited by the Zoning By-law.
Details of Proposed Zoning
This proposal represents a reinstatement of the temporary zoning requirement that had previously been ordered by the Ontario Municipal Board on May 11, 2010. This requirement, which has since expired, was intended to provide staff with adequate time to study and reach a resolution on the issue of Stittsville parking requirements. A subsequent report to Planning Committee on January 24, 2012 recognized the challenges associated with compact suburban subdivision development and associated right-of-way standards, but did not recommend an increase in minimum residential parking requirements for Stittsville. Instead it targeted December 2012 as the delivery date for findings and recommendations of the Intensification Implementation Working Group with respect to suburban subdivision standards. Thus, the temporary zoning standard that had been established by the May 11, 2010 Ontario Municipal Board order is proposed to be reinstated until this study can be completed.
Response to Planning Committee Motion of
January 24, 2012
At the January 24, 2012 Planning Committee, it was requested that staff
provide comments on the applicability of this temporary Zoning By-law amendment for the entire
suburban area. It is noted that staff recommend this
proposed temporary rezoning only as a stop-gap measure for Stittsville, given
the historical context of the May 11, 2010 Ontario Municipal Board order and the temporary zoning provision that
it had previously been in place.
Otherwise staff support the existing parking requirements of the Zoning
By-law with respect to the remainder of the suburban area.
Council adopted the Comprehensive Zoning By-law in 2008, at which time
new general residential parking provisions were adopted to reflect a more
modern approach, with the objective of sustainable land use planning and
development. These minimum parking rates
are founded on a principled, best-practices approach that is backed by the
Provincial Policy Statement and the City’s Official Plan, and the Zoning
By-laws of other Canadian cities. They
are also based on the need to promote more compact development patterns that
minimize sprawl, make efficient use of land and infrastructure, encourage
transit-supportive land uses, and generally help to create more affordable and
liveable communities.
It is important to note that these are minimum, not maximum parking
rates – developers have the option to provide more parking, and depending on
market demand they may in fact choose to provide more than the minimum parking
requirement. That is, the current zoning
has the built-in flexibility to allow for the provision of greater than the
minimum parking requirement where appropriate.
There are no rural
implications associated with this report.
