BACKGROUND
The subject site is near the intersection of Woodkilton Road and
Galetta Side Road and is known as 4786 Woodkilton Road. 4786 Woodkilton Road is approximately 0.4
hectares in area and is an existing developed site, having a dwelling and
accessory structures thereon. A parcel known as 1308 Galetta Side Road abuts the
subject lands on three sides.
Purpose of
Zoning Amendment
The applicant received
conditional approval for a lot line adjustment to add approximately
0.4 hectares of land from 1308 Galetta Side Road to the existing lot known
as 4786 Woodkilton Road. The lot line
adjustment was approved conditional on rezoning the lands being added from the
RU (Rural) zoned property to the RL-1 (Low Density Residential – exemption one)
zoned property to achieve one zone for the adjusted lot and establish a setback
from a watercourse on an abutting property (shown as Area A and B on Document
1).
DISCUSSION
The subject site is designated Rural Natural Features in the City Official Plan.
Rural Natural Features are natural areas in the rural area that contain woodlands, wetlands and wildlife habitat that were identified by the Natural Environment Systems Strategy as significant with the context of the City of Ottawa. As this rezoning is a condition of a lot line adjustment and not creation of one or more lots the requirement for an Environmental Impact Statement is not applicable to this application.
The Official Plan promotes a 30-metre setback from normal high water on rivers, lakes and streams and 15 metres from the top of bank, where there is a defined bank.
The Official Plan provides that exceptions to the setbacks may be considered, in consultation with the Conservation Authority, in situations where development is proposed on existing lots where due, to the historical development in the area, it is unreasonable to demand or impossible to achieve minimum setback distances because of the size of the lot, approved or existing use on the lot, or other physical constraint. Lesser setbacks may also be considered adjacent to a minor tributary that serves primarily a surface water function and that may have only an intermittent flow.
The Conservation Authority has reviewed the proposed location of the new construction on the lot. The setbacks established by this rezoning will ensure that the construction will be located to avoid the feature to the greatest extend possible and disturbance to the natural feature will be minimized and the maximum reasonable water setback is achieved.
The zone applicable to the existing lot is RL-1. The zone applicable to the lands being added to 4786 Woodkilton is RU.
It is proposed to place the entire adjusted lot in
an RL-1(x) Low Density Residential – exemption one (exception). The exception
zone will ensure a maximum setback from the watercourse on the abutting
property by establishing a requirement for a 25-metre minimum rear setback
which will apply to any new structures proposed to be constructed on the lot in
future. The owner plans to construct an
accessory building on the lands.
New Comprehensive Zoning By-law
It is intended that the draft New Comprehensive Zoning By-law will be passed by City Council on June 25, 2008. The amendments to the new Comprehensive Zoning By-law will be required to address a minimum rear and front setback in order to permit the construction of the accessory building as proposed as detailed in Document 2.
D08-01-07/B-00335 was granted by the Committee of Adjustment for a lot line adjustment, approved conditional on the rezoning. The rezoning permits the lot line adjustment to finalize.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPLICATIONS
The Conservation Authority noted, in commenting on the application for lot line adjustment, that a drainage course traversed lands two metres east of the rear property line of the lands to be added by lot line adjustment to 4786 Woodkilton Road. The Conservation Authority recommended that a maximum setback be retained from this watercourse to any new construction on the lot.
The applicant worked with the Conservation Authority
to determine the maximum setback while retaining a nine-metre setback from
Woodkilton Road required by the West Carleton Zoning By‑law for the
proposed structure. The total distance from the structure to the drain will be
27.2 metres.
The Conservation Authority is satisfied that the establishment of a 25-metre rear setback from the lot line to the structure, while not meeting the 30-metre minimum envisioned in the Official Plan, will meet the intent of the Official Plan and adequately protect and address any concerns related to potential impacts on the water course. Support of the lot line adjustment is therefore conditional on the zoning establishing a minimum setback to achieve same.
As the watercourse is off site and the definition of
water setback is from the building envelope to the lot line abutting the water
and technically the rear setback will not abut the water, the establishment of
a minimum rear setback for structures is appropriate to achieve the desired
result.
RURAL IMPLICATIONS
The rezoning supports the rural community, permitting an existing residential use to continue while having regard for the environment.
