REPORT RECOMMENDATION
That the Planning and Environment
Committee recommend Council approve an amendment to the former Goulbourn Zoning
By-law to change the zoning of 1491 and 1493 Stittsville Main Street as
shown in Document 1 and detailed in
Document 2.
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 Goulbourn visant à changer la désignation de zonage de la
propriété située aux 1491 et 1493, rue Stittsville Main de la façon illustrée
au document 1 et précisée au document 2.
BACKGROUND
The
site is located on the east side of Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville.
In
2004, the owner applied to the Committee of Adjustment to sever a lot
containing an area of 5,420.6 square metres, (Area C and D on Document 1)
retaining a lot with an area of 1,693.3 square metres (Area A and B on Document
1). The severed parcel is vacant and is
known as 1493 Stittsville Main Street.
The retained parcel has an existing house and a commercial building
located thereon and is known as 1491 Stittsville Main Street.
The
Ontario Municipal Board has approved the consent conditional in part, on this
rezoning.
The
application, as revised April 7, 2006, is a request to rezone Area A from CC
(Core Commercial) to CC-XX (Core Commercial - XX) to recognize the location of
an existing building on the severed lands at 5.22 metres from the rear lot line
and to recognize that no Buffer Strip is being provided along a side lot line
abutting a residential zone. Area B
will be rezoned from R2 (Residential Type 2) to CC-XX (Core Commercial-XX).
Area C will be rezoned from CC (Core Commercial) to R2- XX (Residential Type 2
- XX). The R2-XX zone will be placed on Areas C and D to recognize a minimum
frontage of nine metres.
No
proposal for development on the severed land has been received by the
City.
DISCUSSION
The subject site is designated “General Urban Area” within the City
Council Approved Official Plan and the Former Regional Municipality of
Ottawa-Carleton Official Plan.
The
subject site is designated as “Stittsville Core Area” (front portion of lands
to be severed) and “Residential” (back portion of lands to be severed) in the
former Township of Goulbourn Official Plan.
The
property is zoned “Core Commercial” (CC) (front portion of the land to be
severed) and “Residential Type 2” (R2) (Rear portion of lands to be severed).
The retained land meets the frontage and area requirements of the CC zone.
A
sketch demonstrating that the retained parcel will continue to meet the CC zone
requirements is a condition of the Ontario Municipal Board decision. The sketch prepared to clear this condition
has identified two issues of non-compliance with the CC zone provisions. The zoning application has been revised to
address the non-complying issues (reduced rear setback and no buffer strip
along a side lot line abutting a residential zone). It is for this reason that
an exception zone is proposed for these lands.
The
reduced rear setback recognizes the location of an existing small shed on the
lands and is not expected to impact on the future residential use of the
severed lands.
No
buffer strip along the south side lot line of the retained lands, abutting the
residential zone on the severed land, again recognizes the existing
situation. No buffer strip was required
while the abutting lands were zoned CC and formed part of the same lot. Residential development on the severed land,
which will now be zoned R2-XX, will be at the back of the severed lot. The
nine-metre strip on the severed parcel is to provide access to future
residential uses at the rear of the lot.
The next closest existing residential use is nine metres from the lot
line of the retained lands. The access
to the future development on the severed lands will separate the retained lands
from the next existing residential lot to the south.
The
Ontario Municipal Board decision was conditional on rezoning to address the
dual zoning on the lands and to recognize a minimum frontage of nine metres for
the severed parcel.
The
proposed Zoning By-law amendment implements the Ontario Municipal Board
decision allowing the orderly development of the severed parcel, correcting the
zone boundary discrepancies and recognizing the existing development on the
retained parcel. Future development for
other than R2 uses on the severed parcel will be subject to future development
application processes.
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.
No comments from the public or
technical agencies in opposition to the proposed zoning were received as a
result of the posting or circulation.
