BACKGROUND

 

The subject site is located at 5645 First Line Road within the Village of Manotick on the east side of First Line Road, north of Century Road.  A Zoning By-law amendment application has been submitted to facilitate the development of a proposed plan of subdivision.  The draft plan of subdivision forms a portion of the Council approved Manotick Special Design Area Concept Development Plan and Environmental Management Plan.

 

The site is approximately 4.46 hectares in size.  This irregular shaped parcel is vacant with areas of levelled farmland and woodland areas along the banks of Mud Creek.

 

Proposed Development

 

This site forms part of an overall development scheme within the Manotick Special Design Area.  Access to this site will be provided via the approved draft plan of subdivision to the north, known as Watterson Place Holdings Phase 3.

 

The draft subdivision plan proposes seven single detached residential lots on individual wells and septic systems.  The lots front onto a municipal 20-metre right-of-way that terminates in a cul-de-sac.  Also included in the development proposal is a walkway block connection to the Mud Creek pathway system.  Environmentally sensitive lands have also been identified as per the Council approved Environmental Management Plan and will be placed in public ownership and zoned accordingly.

 

Purpose of Zoning Amendment

 

This is an application to rezone the subject property in order to facilitate development of the proposed plan of subdivision.

 

Ontario Municipal Board Appeals to the City of Ottawa Comprehensive Zoning By-law

 

On October 23, 2008 the Ontario Municipal Board issued a decision permitting the unchallenged provisions of the Comprehensive Zoning By-law to come into force.  Effective immediately, those provisions not subject to appeal are in force retroactive to the date of enactment, being June 25, 2008.

 

For the purpose of this zoning amendment two zones are being proposed.  They are the (V1P) Village Residential First Density Zone and the (O1) Parks and Open Space Zone.  As a result of the recent decision of the Ontario Municipal Board the O1 Zone provisions remain under appeal.  As such, in addition to amending the Comprehensive Zoning By-law for lands proposed as O1, an amendment to the former Township of Rideau By-law (2004-428) will also be required to address those lands to be recognized as Environmental Protection Zone.

 

Existing Zoning

 

The property is currently zoned (DR1) – Development Reserve Zone, Subzone 1 in the Zoning By-law 2008-25 and (EP) – Environmental Protection Zone in the former Township of Rideau Zoning By-law 2004-428.  The DR1 zone limits the range of uses to protect for future development however does provide for some types of farm uses with provisions for a detached dwelling, accessory to a permitted use.  The EP zone for the most part limits development potential to existing uses.

 

Proposed Zoning

 

It is proposed to rezone a portion of the property to (V1P) – Village Residential First Density, Sub Zone P to permit single detached homes on lots having a minimum width of 30 metres, and a minimum area of 1390 square metres.  Further, those lands identified for protection in the Council approved Manotick Special Design Area Concept Development Plan and Environmental Management Plan will be rezoned to (O1) - Parks and Open Space Zone.

 

With respect to the outstanding appeals of the Zoning By-law to the O1 provisions, the former Township of Rideau By-law will also be amended to (EP - Environmental Protection Zone) reflect the lands to be protected as prescribed by the Manotick Special Design Area Concept Development Plan and Environmental Management Plan.

 

DISCUSSION

 

The lands that are subject to this application are designated Village in the Official Plan.

 

The Secondary Plan for the Village of Manotick, being part of the Official Plan, provides that the Special Design Area is to be developed on private services.

 

Development within the Special Design Area required approval of a concept plan for development.  This concept plan was approved by City Council on July 11, 2006.

 

The Concept Plan established the following principles to guide development in the Special Design Area:

 

 

The proposed zoning that includes (V1P) - Village Residential First Density, Subzone P and (O1) - Parks and Open Space Zone and EP-Environmental Protection Zone (former Township of Rideau Zoning By-law 2004-428) is appropriate for the subject lands.  It conforms to the Village policies within the Official Plan and the Village of Manotick Plan and adheres to the requirements set out in the City Council Approved Special Design Area Concept Development Plan and Environmental Management Plan.  The change in use will allow for the development of the lands in a way that is sensitive to the existing natural features of Mud Creek.  The proposed zone change is compatible with surrounding land uses, which include low-density residential and rural land uses.

 

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPLICATIONS

 

On 11 July 2006 City Council approved an Environmental Management Plan for the Manotick Special Design Area.  Recommendations of the Environmental Management Plan were incorporated into the City Council Approved Special Design Area Concept Plan.  The approved Concept Plan provides the environmental parameters for development located in the Special Design Area.  The parameters have been met in the proposed Zoning By-law amendment for the subject lands as follows:

 

 

RURAL IMPLICATIONS

 

The proposed Zoning By-law amendment will have no adverse effects on the rural community.  The subject lands are already designated for development and do not contain agricultural resource lands.

 

CONSULTATION

 

Notice of this application was carried out in accordance with the City's Public Notification and Consultation Policy.  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.

 

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

APPLICATION PROCESS TIMELINE STATUS

 

The application was not processed by the "On Time Decision Date" established for the processing of Zoning By-law amendments due to the complexity of the issues associated with the location of the development limit line along Mud Creek.
