changer le zonage d’une partie du 1145, chemin Old Carp de Zone d’espace

[403r] (RC2
[403r]), comme le montre le document 1 et l’explique le document 2.

BACKGROUND
The subject lands affected by
this application are a small portion of 1145 Old Carp Road, which is located on
the north side of Old Carp Road, immediately west of March Road. The affected portion of the property is a
nine-metre wide strip of land along the easterly lot line of the property,
abutting 1101 Old Carp Road.
The entire subject property has a site area of seven hectares and is currently
vacant. The portion of the site affected by the application for rezoning is
approximately nine metres wide and 0.06 hectares in area. Immediately to the east of the site is a
dental clinic, while to the west are detached rural dwellings. The Morgan’s
Grant stormwater pond and subdivision lie to the south, while to the north is
rural land.
Existing Zoning
The site is currently zoned Rural Countryside Zone (Ru) under Zoning By-law 2008-250, which permits a range of rural-based land uses including detached dwelling, agricultural use, animal hospital, forestry operation and kennel.
The site is currently zoned Estate Residential Zone (ER) under the former City of Kanata Bylaw 74-79, which permits a detached dwelling and agricultural uses.
Purpose of Zoning By-law Amendment
The applicant has submitted a concurrent consent application to the Committee of Adjustment for a lot line adjustment, in order to convey the nine-metre strip along the easterly boundary to the abutting property at 1101 Old Carp Road, which is occupied by the dental clinic. The owner of the dental clinic obtained Site Plan Control Approval for the clinic in October 2007, with the access to be located along the westerly property line. The owner now wishes to acquire the additional land in order to realign the access driveway several metres to the west of the previously approved location, onto the subject lands. The realignment of the driveway enables the owner to retain three mature coniferous trees along the lot line. The site-specific Rural Commercial Zone affecting 1101 Old Carp Road permits a clinic as the only permitted use.
The purpose of this rezoning application is to apply that same zoning to the nine-metre wide strip of land being conveyed to the dental clinic property. The existing zoning would remain in effect for the remainder of the property.
An application for a minor Site Plan Control Approval amendment would be
required to reflect the addition of lands to the site and the realignment of
the driveway. The proposed realignment of the driveway improves vehicular
access to the site, provides additional buffer space along the westerly lot
line, and allows the retention of three mature coniferous trees.
DISCUSSION
Official Plan
The subject site is designated as "General Rural Area" in the Official Plan. This designation permits a variety of land uses that are appropriate for the rural area, including rural housing, commercial development, small industries and farms. The intent of the designation is to accommodate land uses that are appropriate for a rural location.
The property is subject to the policies within Section 3.7.2 of the Official Plan, to determine whether the proposed use would not be better located in a village or the urban area. Staff must also consider whether the change of use will interfere in the potential for urban boundary expansion and the proper functioning of the local road network, that potential impacts will not limit neighbouring agricultural uses, and that the proposed use can be sustained on private services.
Planning Rationale:
The subject application has been
evaluated with regard to the provisions of the Official Plan, and all
applicable policies have been satisfied. In order to obtain a zoning amendment
for the proposed rural commercial use, the applicant must address the
considerations and criteria set forth in Sections 3.7.2 of the Official
Plan. The primary criteria are as
follows:
a) The use would not be better located in a village or urban
area.
b) Volume
and pattern of traffic anticipated from the development will not interfere with
the local road network.
c) Potential
adverse impacts from lighting, noise, dust, odour or traffic are minimized.
d) Possible
impact on neighbouring agricultural uses is minimized.
e) The development is in keeping with the surrounding rural
character.
A
site-specific Zoning By-law amendment application to permit a clinic on the
abutting property was approved in 2007.
The
proposed development was evaluated with respect to the criteria listed above,
and was found to be consistent with all Official Plan policies: the proposal
was consistent with the small-scale/low density development that is
characteristic of rural areas, the location was favourable for rural commercial
development as it was adjacent to another small-scale clinic on March Road, and
was located at the intersection of two major roads.
Due to
the limited size of the clinic, there were no concerns associated with traffic
generation for the initial proposal. The site location, at the intersection of
two major roads, was considered to be appropriate for rural commercial
development. The intersection of March Road and Old Carp Road will be widened
and upgraded in the near future, and the current request for rezoning and lot
line adjustment to add nine metres to the Old Carp Road frontage will allow the
clinic’s access to be located farther from the intersection of March Road,
improving traffic flow.
The proposed rezoning will have no impact on adjacent landowners. The abutting lands to the north and west are currently vacant, and the proposed rezoning to allow relocation of the clinic’s driveway will have no impact on any agricultural operations or surrounding lands. The requested amendment would rezone the nine-metre wide strip of land to the site-specific Rural Commercial Zone affecting the abutting property occupied by the clinic.
Details of Changes to By-law 2008-250
To change the zoning of the easterly portion of 1145 Old Carp Road from Rural Countryside Zone (RU) to Rural Commercial Zone Subzone 2, Exception [403r] (RC2 [403r]) as shown in Document 1 and as detailed in Document 2.
The exception specifies a medical facility as the only permitted use.
Site-specific zone provisions affecting lot width, yard setbacks, and driveway
width reflect the lot size and site layout.
Details of Changes to the former City of Kanata Bylaw 74-79
To change the zoning of the easterly portion of 1145 Old Carp Road from Estate Residential Zone (ER) to Rural Commercial Exception Zone, (C-r) as shown in Document 1 and as detailed in Document 2.
The exception specifies a clinic as the only permitted use. Site-specific zone provisions, such as lot frontage, yard setbacks, and driveway width reflect the lot size and site layout.
Conclusion
Department staff support the
requested amendment because there
is no anticipated impact on the neighbouring properties, and the proposed development complies with all
Official Plan policies of the General Rural Area, which encourage
various types of rural development.
