REPORT RECOMMENDATION
That the recommend Council approve an amendment to the former City of
Nepean Urban Area Zoning By-law to amend the zoning of 265 West Hunt Club
Road from MM, Industrial Manufacturing Zone to MM Block XX 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 une modification au Règlement de zonage du
secteur urbain de l’ancienne Ville de Nepean visant à faire passer la
désignation de zonage du 265, chemin Hunt Club Ouest de MM (zone d’industries
manufacturières) à MM Bloc XX, comme l’illustre le document 1 et le précise le
document 2.
BACKGROUND
This
property is located on the north side of West Hunt Club Road, west of Prince of
Wales Drive, south of the Merivale Industrial Park and north of Rideau Heights
Industrial Park. It is an irregular
shaped lot having a lot area of approximately 4.9 hectares and street frontage
of approximately 139.5 metres.
This
site is currently vacant with frontage on West Hunt Club Road, however,
vehicular access will be via a private road that is shared by four other
industrially-zoned properties. The
applicable zoning is MM, Industrial Manufacturing Zone.
Purpose of
Zoning Amendment
The applicant is requesting an amendment to the current zone designation to allow an automobile dealership for previously owned vehicles and a retail warehouse as additional permitted uses.
DISCUSSION
The intended Official Plan designation for the lands is General Urban Area as per the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) order made on September 21, 2006, incorporated in Official Plan Amendment Number 28, and pending a further amendment to the Official Plan’s Urban Policy Plan - Schedule B. The City is waiting for the OMB to issue the necessary order to confirm the designation of these lands. The by-law implementing this Zoning By-law amendment will not be forwarded to Council until the order is received.
The General Urban Area designation permits a full range of residential development as well as permitting employment, service, cultural, leisure, entertainment and institutional uses with the goal to attain complete and sustainable communities. This would include a wide range of retail commercial development from a corner store to a shopping centre, where appropriate. To ensure that land uses are appropriate where proposed, the Official Plan contains polices which indicate that development should form an integral part of the community and be compatible with surrounding neighbourhood uses. To achieve this, the amendments to the Zoning By-law will regulate the location, scale and type of land uses. New developments are supported by the Official Plan where redevelopment optimizes underutilized land or vacant lands.
Conclusions
Upon review of the application, it is the Department’s position that the proposed Zoning By-law amendment proposal to allow automobile dealership for previously owned vehicles and retail warehouse conforms with applicable criteria set out in the Official Plan in that:
· This
property forms part of a small grouping of similar size lots with similar uses
consistent with the Official plan direction.
· The
property has frontage along an arterial roadway providing access to the general
public.
· It
is located on the periphery of two established industrial parks separated by
either an arterial road or rail line and can be considered separate from these
parks.
· The proposal to allow the additional uses will not diminish or conflict with the development potential for the industrial parks or ability to meet the Plan’s employment objectives.
