REPORT RECOMMENDATION
That the Planning and Environment Committee recommend Council approve an amendment to the former Zoning By-law of the City of Kanata (Kanata South Business Park 135-93) to change the zoning of 80 Terence Matthews Crescent from an Industrial Zone (M1A) to an Industrial Exception Zone (M1A-xx) to permit an additional use 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'ancienne Ville de Kanata (parc d'affaires de Kanata-Sud 135-93),
afin de faire paser la désignation de zonage du 80, croissant Terence Matthews
de M1A (zone industrielle) à M1A-xx (Zone industrielle - exception) de façon à
permettre une utilisation supplémentaire, comme l'illustre le document 1 et le
précise le document 2.
BACKGROUND
The subject site is located at 80 Terence Matthews Crescent, on the northwest corner of Terence Matthews Crescent and Denzil Doyle Court. An existing two storey building with both ground floor and second floor office components is situated on site. A former restaurant use occupied a portion of the ground floor, which is now the subject of a conversion to a daycare facility. Furthermore, a transmission tower is located in the northwest corner of the site.
The existing parking area for the building can accommodate approximately 60 vehicles and is accessed by two driveways, one located off of Terence Matthews Crescent and the other from Denzil Doyle Court.
Adjacent land uses include various light industrial uses, including general office and wholesale establishments.
DISCUSSION
The subject lands are designated
"Enterprise Area" within the City Council Approved Official
Plan. This designation identifies areas
where commercial, office and industry are the primary land uses. However, the Enterprise Area also serves a
number of other functions including complementary non-industrial uses in order
to meet the daily needs of employees and clients and to reduce their need to
travel outside the area.
The former Regional Official Plan designates
the subject property as "Business Park". This designation includes industrial and business parks, research
parks, warehousing and manufacturing areas, and other related non-residential
uses. The Business Park designation
permits a mix of land uses that provides basic goods and services to employees
of the park.
The former City of Kanata Official Plan
designates the subject property as "Restricted Industrial", which is
intended to serve as the major employment area of the City, and permits a range
of light industrial uses.
The Zoning By-Law of the former City of Kanata,
Kanata South Business Park (135-93), zones this parcel of land 'Industrial'
(M1A). The M1A zone permits such uses
as, but not exclusive to, light industrial, light assembly, light
manufacturing, general offices, wholesale establishments and restaurant
uses. The applicant wishes to rezone
the property to add a day nursery to the M1A zone, while maintaining the
current permissible uses.
The proposed zoning is appropriate because the
additional use (day nursery) conforms to both the policies of the Enterprise
Area designation within the City Council Approved Official Plan, and the
Business Park designation within the former Regional Official Plan. These policies permit complementary uses
intended to meet the daily needs of employees and clients within employment
lands. A day nursery within the Kanata
South Business Park will be compatible with adjacent commercial, office and light
industrial uses, considering the opportunity for employees to work close to
their children at a nearby day nursery.
A demonstration plan has been submitted to
illustrate how the site can accommodate an outdoor play area as required by the
Day Nursery Act. Furthermore the
parking requirements for a day nursery can be accommodated on site (four
parking spaces for each classroom), where eight spaces are required.
