REPORT
RECOMMENDATION
That the Planning and Environment Committee
recommend Council approve an amendment to the former
City of Gloucester Zoning By-law to change the zoning of 3515 Albion Road
from Commercial Highway Zone (Ch) to Commercial Highway Exception Zone (Ch-XX)
as 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 Gloucester afin de changer la désignation de
zonage du 3515, chemin Albion de Zone commerciale routière (Ch) à Zone
commerciale routière assortie d’une exception (Ch-XX), comme il est expliqué en
détail dans le document 2.
BACKGROUND
The subject property is located on the northeast
corner of Bank Street and Albion Road.
The property is 1372 m2 with 28 metres of frontage on Bank Street and
45.6 metres of frontage on Albion Road.
The site is part of a commercial
strip that runs along Bank Street. To
the east is a car dealership and there is a mix of commercial activities
located in plazas and free standing buildings to the south and west. To the north is a single residential house.
The existing building has been used,
until recently, as a gas station, garage and takeout pizza restaurant. The gasoline pumps have been closed and the
building is now used for a truck rental operation. The restaurant is no longer open. The applicant intends to retain the rental operation and to open part
of the building as a retail butcher shop.
The Commercial Highway Zone does not permit general retail uses and
therefore, the Zoning By-law amendment is required.
DISCUSSION
The site is designated General Urban Area and
Arterial Main Street in the Official Plan as a result of Amendment 28, which
was approved by City Council in July 2005.
Arterial Main Streets permit a broad range of uses including retail,
which may be mixed in an individual building or occur side by side in separate
buildings. The requested Zoning By-law
amendment conforms to these Official Plan policies.
The property is zoned Commercial Highway Zone (Ch)
in former City of Gloucester By-law.
The intent of this zone is to provide services which are automotive
oriented to the travelling public. This
zone does not permit retail uses.
The intent of the proposed Zoning
By-law amendment is to create an exception zone that would permit retail on
this property in order to allow for a retail butcher shop to be
established. The building has
approximately 269 m2 of area and will require 14 parking spaces. The site provides 15 parking spaces now and
can be reconfigured to provide more once the pumps are removed.
The Owner has been made aware that
removal of the gasoline pumps and tanks will require a Letter of Permanent
Closure from the Technical Standards and Safety Authority to verify that all
the proper procedures are followed and that the site is remediated properly.
Permitting retail uses on this
property is consistent with the policies of the Official Plan by creating a mix
of non-conflicting uses along a Main Street corridor and staff recommend
approval of this application.
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.
