REPORT RECOMMENDATION

 

That the  recommend Council approve an amendment to the former Township of Osgoode Zoning By-law to change the zoning of 6500 South Village Drive from Private Open Space (OS2) to Residential (R[XXX]) exception Zone, to permit a residential subdivision as shown on 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 au Règlement de zonage de l’ancien Canton d’Osgoode visant à faire passer la désignation de zonage de la propriété située au 6500, promenade South Village d’espace libre privé (O2) à résidentiel, zone d’exception (R[XXX]), afin de permettre un lotissement résidentiel, comme l’illustre le document 1 et le décrit en détail le document 2.

 

 

BACKGROUND

 

6500 South Village Drive is located in Sunset Lakes' South Village Subdivision, west of Old Prescott Road, north of Parkway Road and east of Stagecoach Road in the Village of Greely. The subject site is known as the West Beach Subdivision. The site is 4.80 hectares in size and currently vacant. There is a Trans-Northern pipeline running along the back of the lots within a 18.0-metre easement.

 

The applicant is proposing to re-subdivide the Blocks into 14 village size lots with a minimum lot frontage of 30.50 metres and a minimum lot area of 0.21 hectares.

 

Purpose of Zoning Amendment

 

The purpose of the Zoning By-law amendment is to rezone the land from Private Open Space (OS2) to a Residential (R[XXX]) exception zone to permit the development of a residential subdivision.  The applicant had requested the land be zoned Residential with the exception number 340 (R[340]), but staff are recommending a new exception zone be created to allow for an increased rear yard setback and no-build area.

 

 

DISCUSSION

 

Official Plan

 

The site is designated as 'Village' in the Official Plan. This designation allows the proposed use and the proposed zoning is in conformity with these policies.

 

Proposed Zoning

 

It is proposed that the lands be rezoned from Private Open Space (OS2) to a Residential (R[XXX]) exception zone.  At the time of the registration of the South Village Subdivision and approval of the accompanying zoning, the developer was undecided on how the subject land would be developed and hence, the land was zoned as private open space. Upon further analysis of the land by the owner and confirmation that the parcel could support additional residential lots, the owner submitted an application for Plan of Subdivision.  The subdivision was granted Draft Approval, subject to conditions, on January 26, 2007.  Prior to registration of the plan of subdivision, the lands must be rezoned to permit the proposed use.  

 

The proposed zoning, as detailed in Document 2, will be similar to the R[340] zoning which was requested by the applicant and is the zoning on the adjacent residential lands, with the exception that a provision is being added which will provide for a "no-build area" within 28 metres of  the rear lot line.  This is a result of a draft plan of subdivision condition from Trans-Northern Pipelines Inc. to have a building setback of a minimum of 10.0 metres from the easterly edge of the pipeline right-of-way/easement.  The 28.0-metre "no-build area" is the combination of the 18.0-metre wide easement and the additional 10.0-metre setback.

 

Staff is in support of the Zoning By-law amendment as it has been reviewed in conjunction with the subdivision application and is deemed to comply with the applicable Official Plan policies.

 

 

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

 

N/A

 

 

APPLICATION PROCESS TIMELINE STATUS

 

The application was not processed by the "On Time Decision Date" established for the processing of Zoning By-law amendments due to the application dealing with two areas to be rezoned and issues present with the other area causing the zoning application to be put on hold.  Subsequently, it was decided to separate out the two areas to be rezoned and go forward with an amending Zoning By-law just for the subject land as issues on the second parcel have yet to be resolved.
