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 160 Robertson Road from ML – Industrial Light Zone to MS - Industrial Service Zone as shown in Document 1.

 

RECOMMANDATION DU RAPPORT

 

Que le Comité de l'urbanisme et de l'environnement recommande au Conseil d’approuver un modification au règlement de zonage de l’ancienne Ville de Nepean en vue de faire passer la désignation du 160, chemin Robertson, de ML (zone d’industrie légère) à MS (zone d’industrie de service), comme l’indique le document no 1.

 

 

BACKGROUND

 

The site is located to the west of Moodie Drive, on the south side of Robertson Road, in Bells Corners.  The property has recently been added to the site of an adjacent automobile sales dealership municipally known as 164 Robertson Road, for the expansion of its operations.  The subject site has an area of 3035 m² and contains one vacant building.  Surrounding uses include the car dealership to the west, residential to the south (backing onto the subject site), and commercial to the east and to the north, across Robertson Road.  The subject site is zoned ML ‑ Industrial Light Zone, which does not permit car sales.  The dealership site is zoned MS ‑ Industrial Service.  The applicant proposes to extend this zoning to the subject lands to permit the expansion of the dealership.

 

 

DISCUSSION

 

The site is designated General Urban Area in the City's Official Plan.  This designation permits the proposed use.  The subject site is zoned ML - Industrial Light Zone, which does not permit automobile sales.  The dealership site is zoned MS - Industrial Service.  The applicant proposes to extend this zoning to the subject lands to permit the expansion of the dealership.  The proposed zone boundary extension is consistent with the policies of the General Urban Area designation in the Official Plan.  The subject site is suitable for the proposed use and for the expansion of the adjacent dealership.  The existing automobile dealership is in keeping with the overall commercial and industrial character of the area so that its expansion, as proposed, is appropriate.  Staff recommends approval of this Zoning By-law amendment.

 

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.
