REPORT RECOMMENDATION
That the Planning and Environment
Committee recommend Council approve an amendment to the former City of Nepean
Zoning By-Law to change the zoning of 2848 Cedarview Road from Future
Growth - (FG) Zone to Residential Mixed Use - (RMU) Zone, Parks and Recreation
- (PRP) Zone, and to Conservation - (Con) Zone as shown in Document 1 and as detailed in Document 2.
RECOMMANDATION DU RAPPORT
Que le Comité de l’urbanisme et de
l’environnement recommande au Conseil d’approuver la modification du Règlement
de zonage de l’ancienne Ville de Nepean pour que le zonage du 2848 chemin
Cedarview passe de Zone de croissance future (FG) à Zone résidentielle
d’utilisation mixte (RMU), Zone de parc et d’espace vert (PRP) et Zone de
conservation de la nature (Con), tel
qu’indiqué dans le document 1 et décrit dans le document 2.
BACKGROUND
The
subject site is located between Cedarview Road and Strandherd Drive,
immediately west of the existing Barrhaven community, south of the future
Maravista Drive extension, and north of a recently approved mixed residential
subdivision.
Approval
of Plan of Subdivision for associated lands was granted on April 18, 2006. The Plan of Subdivision proposes a mix of
single-detached residential dwellings, semi-detached dwellings, and townhomes,
along with one neighborhood park and open space. This development will constitute an extension of the current
residential neighbourhood to the east.
The application proposes 7.4 hectares of mixed residential development,
1.01 hectare for park and open space and a 0.74 hectare buffer strip along the
east portion of the subdivision parallel to Cedarview Road.
In
order to satisfy one of the draft plan of subdivision approval conditions, an
application has been made to rezone the subject lands to appropriate zoning
categories to permit the development of the subdivision. Most of the site is proposed for residential
development with a park and conservation lands for the realigned municipal
drain along Cedarview Drive. The Zoning
By-law amendment being proposed will facilitate these uses.
DISCUSSION
City
Council Approved Official Plan and Former Regional Official Plan:
The site is designated as 'General
Urban Area' in the City Council Approved Official Plan and former Regional
Official Plan. This designation allows
all types and densities of residential development, as well as park areas. The proposed zoning is in conformity with
these policies.
Former City of Nepean Official Plan:
The site is designated as
'Residential' under the former City of Nepean Official Plan. This designation allows for all types of
residential development; thereby the proposed zoning is in conformity with
these policies.
Secondary Plan:
The site is subject to South Nepean
Urban Area Secondary Plan-Areas 9 and 10 of the City Council Approved Official
Plan Volume 2A. The site is designated
as 'Residential' in this Secondary Plan, which allows a variety of housing
types. This Secondary Plan also sets
the target for the number of units for this site, which, when combined with
part of the recently approved subdivision to the south, is targetted to contain
approximately 390 units. In addition,
there is a need for a neighborhood park of at least 0.4 hectares. The highest residential densities shall be
on the western side nearest Strandherd Drive, while the lowest densities are to
be on the east side adjacent to the existing residential development in the
community of Barrhaven. This is in
order to ensure compatibility with existing residential development. The proposed Zoning By-law amendment is in
conformity with these Secondary Plan policies.
Existing
Zoning and Proposed Zoning:
The
site is currently zoned as Future Growth - (FG). The Future Growth Zone was placed on lands in the South Urban
Area to ensure that development occurred in an orderly and planned manner
within the parameters of a Draft Plan of Subdivision. The Zoning By-law amendment to Residential Mixed Use - (RMU)
Zone, Parks and Recreation (public) - (PRP) Zone and Conservation - (Con) Zone
is necessary to facilitate the development of this residential community in
accordance with the approved Draft Plan of Subdivision.
The
subdivision will consist of 73 lots for single-detached dwellings, 20 blocks
for semi-detached dwellings, 13 blocks of townhomes, one park block, and one
block for open space. The total number
of townhouse dwelling units will be determined through Site Plan Control.
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.
