REPORT RECOMMENDATION
That the recommend Council approve an amendment to the former City of Gloucester Zoning By-law to change the zoning of parts of 4051 Spratt Road, 4450 and 4500 Limebank Road, and 804 Nakina Way as shown in Document 1 and as detailed in Document 2 and 3.
RECOMMANDATION DU RAPPORT
Que le Comité de l'urbanisme et de l'environnement
recommande au Conseil d’approuver une modification au Règlement de zonage de
l’ancienne Ville de Gloucester visant à modifier la désignation de zonage de
certaines parties du 4051, chemin Spratt, des 4450 et 4500, chemin Limebank et
du 804, voie Nakina de la façon illustrée au document 1 et décrite en détail
aux documents 2 et 3.
BACKGROUND
There are three parcels of land that are the subject of this Zoning By-law amendment application that are located in Riverside South – Phase 4. There is one small parcel of land in Phase 3 of Riverside South. Phases 3 and 4 are south of Spratt Road and Nakina Way, north of Earl Armstrong Road, east of North Bluff Drive and Canyon Walk Drive and west of Limebank Road. The sites are shown in Document 1.
Purpose of
Zoning Amendment
The purpose of the zoning changes requested is to recognize the stormwater facilities as part of Riverside South – Phase 4 and to process necessary technical zoning changes to update the zones within two registered subdivisions.
The lands that are the subject of this Zoning By-law amendment are zoned Future Growth, Fg and Special Mixed Residential (Exception 59), Rc3(E59).
The applicant wishes to bring the stormwater facility that services Riverside South – Phase 4 into the appropriate zone and to update the existing zoning in several locations to align with the registered subdivision plans.
DISCUSSION
The Official Plan places the subject lands in
the General Urban Area within the Airport Vicinity Development Zone. The General Urban Area designation
facilitates the development of complete and sustainable communities. The Airport Vicinity Development Zone
ensures that all development is to be protected from the effects of aircraft
noise.
The lands subject to this application form part
of Draft Approved and registered subdivision plans. All technical studies,
including the Noise Studies have been completed for these lands.
The proposed zoning changes are in keeping with
development that has already occurred within Riverside South. Staff supports this proposed Zoning By-law
amendment as it continues the orderly development of the Riverside South
community and follows through with several housekeeping zoning matters which
must be addressed (see Documents 2 and 3).
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPLICATIONS
The zoning of the stormwater pond and outlet to an ‘Open Space’ zone is in keeping with the City’s direction to have this type of infrastructure recognized as a green land use which is environmentally sensitive.
CONSULTATION
Notice of this application was carried out in accordance with the City's Public Notification and Consultation Policy. The Ward Councillor is aware of this application and the staff recommendation. The City did not receive any negative comments or opposition to this application.
