RECOMMANDATION DU RAPPORT

 

Que le Comité de  recommande au Conseil d’approuver une modification au Règlement municipal de zonage de l’ancienne Ville de Nepean afin de changer le zonage des terrains désignés collectivement comme le 3584, chemin Jockvale (phase 9B), de zone de croissance future (FG), zone rurale (Ru) et zone résidentielle d’utilisations polyvalentes (RMU) bloc 4 à zone résidentielle de densité 5B bloc 10 (R5B bloc 10), zone résidentielle d’utilisations polyvalentes bloc 4 (RMU bloc 4), zone de croissance future (FG) et zone de parc et de loisir (publique) bloc 1 (PRC bloc 1), comme il est présenté dans le document 1 et expliqué dans le document 2.

 

BACKGROUND

 

This vacant site is located south of Cambrian Road, north of Barnsdale Road, between Greenbank Road and Jockvale Road in the Stonebridge Golf Course Community. 

 

In order to proceed with Phase 9B of the Stonebridge Golf Course Community, amendments are needed to Nepean Zoning By-law 100-2000 and 73-92 to facilitate the development of single-family dwellings and two-storey townhomes.

 

The associated Official Plan amendment was adopted by Council on June 27, 2007 and came into affect on August 1, 2007.  The associated Plan of Subdivision was draft approved in March 2006. Monarch Construction has registered and developed a number of subdivision plans in the area within the existing ‘General Urban Area’.  This Zoning By-law amendment is necessary to facilitate the continued expansion of the community in a southerly direction from Cambrian Road, west of Jockvale Road and north of Barnsdale Road.

 

Purpose of Zoning Amendment

 

The purpose of this Zoning By-law amendment is to allow for the continued expansion of the Stonebridge subdivision and permit single-family dwellings and residential townhouse uses that are proposed within the associated development.

 

Existing Zoning

 

The properties associated with the draft approved Plan of Subdivision are currently zoned as Future Growth (FG) and Residential Mixed Use Block 4 (RMU Block 4) under Zoning By-law 100-2000 and Rural (Ru) under Zoning By-law 73-92. 

 

The Future Growth (FG) zone is placed on lands to restrict development until such time as they are rezoned to reflect the proposed development application. A Plan of Subdivision application for the subject land is now in the final stages of approval and the rezoning will implement the Plan of Subdivision.

 

The Residential Mixed Use – Block 4 (RMU Block 4) was placed on lands to the west of this current subdivision.

 

The Rural (Ru) zone is generally used for agricultural and associated residential uses and applies to lands which currently form part of the rural area by-law.  These lands now form part of the urban area and require an amendment to reflect that.

 

Proposed Zoning

 

The proposed zoning is illustrated in Document 1 and detailed in Document 2.  This zoning is a combination of residential and park zones, which will implement the approved subdivision. The purpose of the proposed Zoning By-law amendment is to update Schedule B21 of Zoning By‑law 100-2000 to reflect the lot lines of the approved Plan of Subdivisions for this area. 

In addition an R5B Block 10 exception zone is also proposed for the townhouse units in this subdivision. 

 

This exception zone, which has been used in earlier phases throughout the Stonebridge Community, is also proposed here as the proposed building designs are consistent with earlier phases.

 

DISCUSSION

 

Official Plan

 

The Zoning By-law application applies to lands that are located within the ‘General Urban Area’ designation in the Official Plan.  This designation permits a range of residential and community uses.  As well, the South Nepean (Area 13) Secondary Plan applies to these lands.  It lays out the specific land uses for this area.

 

Details of Proposed Zoning

 

The proposed Zoning By-law amendment supports the guidelines contained in Area 13 of the Secondary Plan, which applies to these lands. The implementation of this zoning amendment will allow for the continuation of the high design standards that have been maintained throughout the various phases of the Stonebridge Community.  

 

The R5B Block 10 exception zone, detailed in Document 2, will permit two-storey town homes. This exception zone proposes an increased height of 11 metres from the typical maximum 10.7‑metre height of the R5B zone to allow for the specific design of the unit. Coverage of 55 percent as opposed to 40 percent is also being proposed.  Also an increase in the size of encroachments, as detailed in Document 2, are being proposed. These encroachments were necessary to address the architectural feature of a cantilevering second storey living space of the townhome unit. An unenclosed covered porch, platform or landing is also permitted in side yards, for those properties abutting 0.3 metre reserves.  The purpose of this zoning exception is to provide a consistency of building design, which has been used throughout the Stonebridge Community.

 

Staff supports the rezoning proposal based on the above-noted considerations and recommends that Planning and Environment Committee approve the application as presented.

 

CONSULTATION

 

Notice of this application was carried out in accordance with the City's Public Notification and Consultation Policy.  Information signs were posted on-site indicating the nature of the application. 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.
