REPORT RECOMMENDATION

RECOMMANDATION
DU RAPPORT
Que le Comité de l’urbanisme et de
l’aménagement recommande au Conseil municipal d’approuver une modification au
Règlement de zonage urbain 1-84 de l’ancienne Ville de Cumberland en vue de
soustraire le club privé occupant le terrain résidentiel situé au 817,
croissant Swallowtail de l’exigence d’aménager une aire de stationnement sur
place.
BACKGROUND
An application has been received to amend the Cumberland Urban Zoning By-law for the property located at 817 Swallowtail Crescent, south of Innes Road and east of Portobello Boulevard. The applicant is currently developing an adult oriented lifestyle community and is proposing to construct a private community building on one of the residential lots within the subdivision which would be owned in common and used by the residents on Swallowtail and Yellowthroat Crescents. The property is zoned R1H-X1 – Block A – Residential - Singles – Wide Lots R1H – Exception One – Block A in accordance with the Cumberland Urban Zoning By-law. This parcel was zoned to permit a private club when the overall zoning of the neighbourhood was completed, however parking provisions were not addressed at that time. This amendment would eliminate the requirement for on-site parking.
DISCUSSION
The applicant has plans to construct a small community building which will serve 87 bungalow homes fronting on Swallowtail and Yellowthroat Crescents. Because the users of this building reside within the neighbourhood, on-site parking is deemed unnecessary since parking is already provided on each individual subdivision lot.
The private club is to be designed to blend in with the existing residential development. There is insufficient space on the lot for a parking area and it would not be in keeping with the residential nature of the street. In fact, the applicant prefers to plant additional landscaping on the property rather that have a driveway located in the front yard.
CONSULTATION
Public notification was provided by the posting of an on-site sign. The sign was installed on the property facing Swallowtail Crescent on April 9, 2002 notifying the residents in the surrounding neighbourhood of the proposed amendment to the zoning by-law. No comments from the public were received regarding this application.
In addition to the usual agencies and City Departments, the application was also circulated to the Cumberland Township Historical Society.
