REPORT RECOMMENDATION
That the recommend Council approve an amendment to the former City of Nepean Zoning By-law to amend the site specific MM, Block 5, Industrial Manufacturing Zone zone designation of 265 West Hunt Club Road as shown in Document 1 and as detailed in Document 2.
RECOMMANDATION DU RAPPORT
Que le Comité de recommande au Conseil d’approuver une modification au Règlement de
zonage de l’ancienne Ville de Nepean visant à changer la désignation de zonage
propre au 265, chemin Hunt Club Ouest, soit MM, Bloc 5 (zone d’industries
manufacturières), comme l’illustre le document 1 et le précise le document 2.
BACKGROUND
This is an irregular, rectangular shaped lot having lot area of approximately 4.83 hectares and street frontage of approximately 240 metres. This site is currently vacant land with frontage on West Hunt Club Road, however, vehicular access will be via a private road.
Purpose of
Zoning Amendment
The applicant is proposing to subdivide what is a large remaining parcel of land to the east of the private road into three properties through a severance application with the Committee of Adjustment. As a result, two of the properties will no longer have frontage on a public street.
The requested Zoning By-law amendment is to reduce the requirement to have a minimum street frontage of 30 metres to zero metres and delete the requirement that development may only occur when a lot has frontage on a public street.
Existing Zoning
The applicable zoning is MM Block 5, Industrial Manufacturing Zone. This is a site-specific zone designation conditionally permitting an automobile sales dealership for previously owned vehicles and a retail warehouse.
The applicant is requesting that this site specific zone be amended to accommodate the development of lots that front onto a private road as detailed in Document 3.
DISCUSSION
The Official Plan designation is General Urban Area designation which 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 and industrial development that was contemplated in the previous site plan approval that established a private road as access for commercial and industrial development to occur on lands that would be severed in the future.
Upon review of the application, it is the
Department’s position that the proposed Zoning By-law amendment proposal to
reduce the minimum street frontage of a lot to zero and the permitting
development to occur on a lot not having frontage on a public street 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 properties will be adequately serviced by a shared access road to an
arterial roadway that is accessible to the general public via a signalized
intersection. The proposal will include
the extension of the existing private access road to service a larger holding,
which is consistent with existing neighbouring development and is therefore
considered appropriate. Through either
a site plan control application or Committee of Adjustment application, there
will be a requirement for an amendment to an existing development agreement for
the extension of private access road and for an amended maintenance and
liability agreement.
