REPORT RECOMMENDATION
That the recommend Council approve an amendment to the former West
Carleton Zoning By-law to change the zoning of 3760, 3770 and 3780 Grainger
Park Road from CT-Tourist Commercial Zone to three new RU-Rural Exception Zones
as
shown in Document 1 and as detailed in Document 2.
RECOMMANDATION DU RAPPORT
Que le Comité de l’agriculture et des questions
rurales recommande au Conseil d'approuver une modification à l'ancien Règlement
de zonage de West Carleton afin de faire passer le zonage des 3760, 3770 et
3780, chemin Grainger Park de CT-zone commerciale de tourisme à trois nouvelles
zones RU-Rurales d'exception, tel qu'illustré dans le document 1 et exposé en
détail dans le document 2.
BACKGROUND
The properties (3760, 3770 and 3780 Grainger Park Road) are located on the south side of Grainger Park Road, west of Breezy Heights Road (see Document 1).
The lands are
currently vacant and feature natural vegetation. The three existing lots range
in size from 0.4 to 1.2 hectares, and all have frontage on a public road. Land
uses adjacent to the subject properties are a seasonal campground to the south
and west, Provincial Highway 417 to the east (parallel to Breezy Heights Road.)
and tree covered lands to the north. It
is noted that the subject properties are impacted by a Limestone Resource Area
located approximately 480 metres to the south.
Purpose of Zoning By-law Amendment
The applicant is proposing to re-zone the three subject properties to a residential use in order to permit the construction of single detached dwellings on the three subject properties. The current zoning does not permit a single detached dwelling as the main use.
The current zoning for the properties is CT- Tourist Commercial Zone which permits a variety of tourist related uses such as a motel, a private park, a restaurant, a tourist camp and accessory uses including a gasoline pump island and a retail store associated with the main use. A dwelling house is permitted however, only accessory to the main commercial use.
The proposal is to rezone 3760, 3770 and 3780 Grainger Park Road to three new RU-Rural Exception Zones to permit single detached dwellings and associated uses within the RU Rural Zone (see Documents 1 and 2). The exception provisions will deal with individual lot deficiencies in lot frontage and lot area from the standard RU zone requirements. In addition, an increased rear yard setback will be applied to 3760 and 3770 Grainger Park Road to address the requirements of the Official Plan (Section 3.7.4.10) where a 500 metre setback from the Limestone Resource Area is required. Currently, a licensed quarry is operating approximately 480 metres south of the subject properties.
DISCUSSION
Official Plan
The subject lands are designated General Rural Area in the Official Plan. This designation permits a variety of land uses such as rural housing.
The three lots subject of this amendment were
severed approximately 15 years ago from the parent parcel (campground). The proposal then was to create three
separate businesses to complement the campground/highway use. However, with the extension of Provincial
Highway 417 no direct access was provided at the Grainger Park and Breezy
Heights intersection, thereby removing the commercial potential of these lots.
The owners now wish to have the properties
rezoned to a residential use.
The proposed change in use conforms to the
Official Plan policies of the General Rural designation. In terms of the existing lot areas the
subject properties are lots of record and deemed to conform to the Official
Plan. Regarding, the adjacent Limestone
Resource Area designation, a 500 metre setback, as required by the Official
Plan has been taken into account and applied accordingly to the rear yard
setback of the proposed Zoning By-law amendment. Staff have no objection to the proposed amendment to the Zoning By-law
as this represents an appropriate use for three currently existing lots. The proposed residential use is
significantly less of an impact than the existing commercial uses. Less vehicular traffic will be evident.
RURAL IMPLICATIONS
No negative impacts are anticipated to the adjacent or immediate
uses. Appropriate setbacks have been
included to address aggregate resource issues.
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.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
APPLICATION PROCESS
TIMELINE STATUS

lands.
