RECOMMANDATION
DU RAPPORT
Que le Comité de l’urbanisme recommande au Conseil d’approuver une
modification au Règlement de zonage 2008-250 afin de faire passer le zonage du 1730
au 1758, chemin de Montréal de zone d’artère principale, sous-zone 6 (AM6) à
zone d’artère principale, sous-zone 6, dotée d’une exception [xxxx] (AM6
[xxxx]), comme l’explique en détails le document 2.
BACKGROUND
The subject property is located to the south of Montreal Road to the east of Elwood Street in the Beacon Hill community as shown in Document 1. The property is approximately 0.65 hectares with an average depth of 50 metres.
An existing plaza is located back from the street to allow parking in front. There is a mix of businesses in the plaza including real estate offices and restaurants. This property is part of a cluster of commercial properties that extend west to Blair Road. To the north, there are is a retirement residence and dental centre. The rest of the areas to the east and south are predominately a mix of single detached and row houses.
Purpose of Zoning Amendment
The proposed Zoning By-law amendment is required to permit a retail food store with a maximum gross floor area of 186 metres square.
Existing Zoning
The existing zoning of the property is Arterial Mainstreet, Subzone 6, (AM6), which permits a range of commercial uses that would be more oriented to local services and smaller format stores. A retail food store is not permitted in this zoning.
DISCUSSION
Provincial Policy Statement
The Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) provides direction on matters of Provincial interest related to land-use planning and development by promoting efficient land use patterns that support development of viable liveable communities.
The proposed development is consistent with the objective and policies of the PPS because it helps provides a wide range of business within a community that make efficient use of available infrastructure services.
Official Plan
The Official Plan designates the
properties as General Urban and Arterial Mainstreet. The General Urban designation permits the
development of a full range and choice of housing types to meet the needs of
all citizens, in combination with conveniently located retail, service,
entertainment and institutional uses.
This zoning amendment will facilitate the development of a complete and
sustainable community. Arterial
Mainstreets are to function as mixed-use corridors able to provide a wide range
of goods and services to neighbouring communities and beyond and this proposed
development fits within that function.
Details of Proposed Zoning
The AM zone is intended to accommodate a broad range of uses including retail, service commercial, offices, residential and institutional uses in mixed-use buildings or side by side in separate buildings in areas designated Arterial Mainstreet in the Official Plan. There are seven subzones with two prohibiting retail food stores and one other restricting the size of stores.
An exception is recommended to be created on this property to permit the retail food store and limit the total gross floor area to 186 square metres.
Zoning Recommendation
Staff are satisfied that the proposed changes in the zoning of 1730-1758 Montreal Road to AM6 [xxxx], is consistent with the policies of the Provincial Policy Statement, and the Official Plan.

PUBLIC COMMENTS
Comment Since there is already a retail grocery store just west of Elwood Street, then I think it would be both unfair to the people with the existing store and the plaza renters.
Response Zoning By-laws are not intended to restrict competition between businesses and more activities present in the plaza will only make it a more attractive destination for shoppers.
Comment That a second storey not be added to the existing building.
Response The applicant has made an application to obtain an additional use on the subject property and has no plans to construct a second floor.
Comment That waste be handled indoors so that more animals are not attracted to the area.
Response The applicant has responded that waste will be stored indoors between pickups.
