SUBJECT: PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE FORMER CITY OF
NEPEAN ZONING BY-LAW TO REZONE 164 ROBERTSON ROAD FROM COMMERCIAL AUTOMOTIVE
ZONE – CA4 TO INDUSTRIAL SERVICE ZONE – MS
OBJET: PROPOSITION DE MODIFICATION DU RÈGLEMENT DE ZONAGE DE L’ANCIENNE VILLE DE NEPEAN, AFIN DE CHANGER LA DÉSIGNATION DE «ZONE COMMERCIALE AUTOMOBILE» (CA4) DU 164, CHEMIN ROBERTSON À «ZONE INDUSTRIELLE DE SERVICE» (MS)
REPORT RECOMMENDATION
That the Planning and Development Committee recommend that Council approve an amendment to the former City of Nepean Zoning By-law to rezone 164 Robertson Road from Commercial automotive zone – CA4 to Industrial service zone – MS.
RECOMMANDATION
DU RAPPORT
Que le Comité de l’urbanisme et de
l’aménagement recommande au Conseil d’approuver la modification du Règlement de
zonage de l’ancienne ville de Nepean, afin de changer la désignation de «zone
commerciale automobile» (CA4) du 164, chemin Robertson, à «zone industrielle de
service» (MS).
BACKGROUND
Michael Davies Chrysler has applied to rezone an existing 6490 square metre parcel of land located on the south side of Robertson Road. The lands abut industrially zoned properties to the east (Speedy Muffler) and west (Allards Auto Body Ltd), and existing residential properties located along Oberon Street to the south.
The lands are designated General Urban Area under the former Regional Municipality of Ottawa-Carleton’s Official Plan and Bells Corners Commercial Sector in the former City of Nepean Official Plan. The existing Automobile Sales Dealership is currently zoned Commercial Automotive Zone – CA4, which permits an auto body repair shop as an accessory use. The purpose of the proposed amendment, to permit an auto body repair facility as a primary use, would be in conformity with the intent of the land use policies of the former Nepean Official Plan for the Bells Corners Commercial Sector.
DISCUSSION
The proposed Zoning By-law amendment would permit an auto body repair shop as a future primary use on the property which is currently occupied by the Michael Davies Chrysler dealership. Under the current Commercial Automotive Zone – CA4 provisions the existing auto body repair shop portion of the property is only permitted as an accessory use to the automobile dealership. Therefore, the applicant has requested the zoning amendment in order to accommodate the Automobile & Equipment Repair Garage – Commercial use, found under the Industrial Service Zone-MS provisions for permitted uses.
In view of the fact that an auto body repair shop is currently permitted under the existing zoning of the lands, and that the property abuts industrially zoned lands to the east and west, staff is of the opinion that the intent of both the former City of Nepean Official Plan and zoning by-law will be maintained. If approved, the existing building and site would conform with all Industrial Service Zone - MS zoning provisions including lot coverage, and set backs.
CONSULTATION
Notice of the public meeting was provided by first class mail to all assessed property owners within 120 metres of the subject site as well as to community associations and technical agencies. Notice was also provided by way of an on-site information sign.
