REPORT RECOMMENDATION
That the Planning and Environment
Committee recommend Council approve an amendment to the former Township of
Rideau Zoning By-Law to change the zoning of 6873 McCordick Road from RE-18 to
a Special Estate Residential Zone (RE-XX) and 2625 Lockhead Road from
RE-18 to a Special Estate Residential Zone (RE-YY) as shown in Document 1 and
as detailed in Document 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’ancien Canton de Rideau en vue de changer le zonage du 6873, chemin McCordick
de RE-18 à une zone résidentielle de grand ensemble spéciale (RE-XX) et celui
du 2625, chemin Lockhead de RE-18 à zone résidentielle de grand ensemble
spéciale (RE-YY), tel qu’il est indiqué dans le document 1 et expliqué en
détail dans le document 3.
BACKGROUND
The
subject properties, 6873 McCordick Road and 2625 Lockhead Road, are located
south of the Village of North Gower and east of Highway 416.
The site was approved for a severance by the Committee of Adjustment on May 12, 2005 to subdivide the property into two parcels. The retained parcel, located at 6873 McCordick Road, is a corner lot with an area of 1.28 hectares that contains an existing dwelling. The lot frontage is 57.45 metres along Lockhead Road. The severed parcel contains two hectares of undeveloped land and is located at 2625 Lockhead Road. The lot frontage is 83.55 metres along Lockhead Road. Both the subject properties are covered with tree and bush vegetation. The surrounding area is generally rural uses and farmland.
DISCUSSION
City Council Approved Official Plan
The City Council Approved Official Plan
designates the site as Agricultural Resource Area on Schedule A, Rural Policy Plan. This designation ensures
agricultural land is protected from loss to other uses and ensures uses, which
would conflict with agricultural operations are not established in productive
farming areas.
Former Regional Official Plan
The subject properties are designated as
Agricultural Resource. The intent of this designation is to protect major areas
of agricultural production and other lands suitable for agriculture from loss
to other uses and ensure uses that would result in conflicts with agricultural
operations are not established in productive farming areas.
Former Township of Rideau Official Plan
The subject lands are designated as
Agricultural Resource. Predominant uses of land shall be for agriculture and
farm related uses. Other permitted uses include farm related residential uses,
forestry, and conservation. The purpose of this designation is to preserve the
agricultural resource base.
Proposed Zoning By-Law Amendment
The site is zoned as Estate Residential –
Special Zone 18 (RE-18). As a condition imposed by the Committee of Adjustment,
the Zoning By-law amendment proposes to remove the stable, paddock, and horse
provisions for each property. For 6873 McCordick Road, the special zone would
also recognize the minimum lot area of 1.28 hectares and set the minimum lot
frontage to 57.45 metres. For 2625 Lockhead Road, the special zone would
recognize the minimum lot area of two hectares; the property meets the minimum
lot frontage provision of 60 metres for the Estate Residential Zone. The
proposed rezoning would place each property in a Special Estate Residential
Zone.
The severance application that went before the
Committee of Adjustment on May 3, 2005 proposed two severances, creating three
lots. The decision of the Committee was
to permit one severance and that the Zoning By-law be amended to set the
minimum lot area and frontage for 6873 McCordick Road and the minimum lot area
for 2625 Lockhead Road as well as removing the stable, paddock, and horse
provisions on both properties that are permitted in the RE-18 zone. The stable,
paddock, and horse provisions are recommended to be removed, as a hobby farm is
not a permitted use in the RE-18 zone or in the RE zone. In the former Township
of Rideau Official Plan, a hobby farm is permitted in lots that are minimum two
hectares in area and located in Marginal Resource designations.
When deliberating on the application, the
Committee of Adjustment took particular note of the fact that the subject
properties were rezoned by the former municipality to the Estate Residential
designation despite the existing Official Plan policies that applied at the
time. It was of the Committee's view that the creation of two lots, which are
heavily treed and contain an existing residential dwelling, will not result in
the loss of agricultural lands. The Committee, therefore, imposed to rezone
both lots to ensure the parameters are set on the lot size requirements.
The Department supports the Zoning By-law
amendment as the Special Estate Residential Zones will establish the minimum
lot area to the existing lot area of each property and therefore will prevent
future severances. The amendment will satisfy the intent of the Official Plan
policies.
RURAL IMPLICATIONS
The rezoning of the subject properties to the special zone designations will not negatively impact the surrounding land uses.
