RECOMMANDATIONS DU RAPPORT

 

1          Que le Comité de  recommande au Conseil d’approuver une modification au Règlement de zonage 2008-250 en vue de prolonger, pour une période de trois ans, l’utilisation temporaire à titre de zone d’espace rural – exception rurale 354 (RU[354r]) visant le 2234, chemin Upper Dwyer Hill, tel qu’exposées en détail dans le Document 2, sous réserve des conditions suivantes :

BACKGROUND

The site is located at 2234 Upper Dwyer Hill Road, west of Highway 417, north of Vaughan Side Road, and south of Panmure Road. The site is 7.4 hectares in area with approximately 122 metres of frontage along Upper Dwyer Hill Road. There is an existing house, barn, detached garage, garden suite, and two sheds on-site. Cody Creek runs through the site and in the surrounding area are rural and agricultural uses.   The location of the subject land is shown in Document 1.

 

DISCUSSION

 

Official Plan 

 

The Official Plan designates the site as General Rural. The intent of this designation is to accommodate a variety of land uses that are appropriate for a rural location. Residential development is to be limited where such development will not conflict with existing agricultural and non-residential uses.

 

Existing Zoning

 

The existing zoning is Rural Countryside – rural exception 354 (RU[354r]), with a floodplain overlay over Cody Creek, which permits a garden suite as a temporary permitted use for a period of three years beginning on August 23, 2006 and expiring on August 23, 2009. Following expiration of the temporary zoning, the lands will revert to the underlying RU zone.  The purpose of the proposed amendment is to extend for a period of three years, the current temporary use by‑law.


 

Details of Proposed Zoning 

 

The extension of this temporary use for three years beginning July 8, 2009 to July 8, 2012 is appropriate as it is a temporary Zoning By-law amendment that does not conflict with surrounding agriculture or rural uses. The Official Plan encourages affordable and appropriate housing for all residents and diversity in the housing supply. Garden suites are permitted subject to a rezoning as a temporary use. The By-law extension conforms to the non-farm residential development policies of the Official Plan.   

 

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPLICATIONS

 

On Schedule K, in the Official Plan, Environmental Constraints, part of the site is within the Cody Creek flood plain. The Mississippi Conservation Authority did not raise concerns of the by-law extension and the existing garden suite is outside of the Flood Plain overlay in the Zoning By-law.

 

RURAL IMPLICATIONS

 

The garden suite has not negatively affected the surrounding area and the temporary extension does not conflict with surrounding agricultural and rural uses.

 

CONSULTATION
