REPORT RECOMMENDATION

 

That the  recommend Council approve an amendment to Zoning By-law 2008-250 to change the zoning of 810 Greenbank Road from GM9 [1419] – General Mixed-Use, Subzone 9, exception 1419 to GM9 [xxxx] – General Mixed-Use, Subzone 9, exception xxxx, as shown in Document 1 and as detailed in Document 2.

 

 

RECOMMANDATION DU RAPPORT

 

Que le Comité de l’urbanisme et de l’environnement recommande au Conseil d’approuver une modification au Règlement de zonage no 2008-250 en vue de changer le zonage de la propriété située au 810, chemin Greenbank, de Zone d’utilisations polyvalentes générale, sous-zone 9, avec exception 1419 (GM9 [1419]) à Zone d’utilisations polyvalentes générale, sous-zone 9, avec exception xxxx (GM9 [xxxx]), comme le montre le document 1 et l’explique le document 2. 

 

 

 

BACKGROUND

 

The subject property is located on the west side of Greenbank Road, between Fallowfield Road Larkin Drive, in the community of Barrhaven, as shown in Document 1. The site is 0.18 hectares in size and contains a two-storey commercial office building and a 36-space surface parking lot.  The site is surrounded by a retail building to the north, a medical and dental office building to the west, an automobile service station to the south and residential properties to the east side of Greenbank Road.

 

Existing Zoning

 

The current zoning of the site, GM9 [1419] – General Mixed-Use, Subzone 9, exception 1419, prohibits residential uses and permits the following non residential uses: animal hospital; bank; bank machine; community centre; community health and resource centre; day care, diplomatic mission, emergency service; instructional facility; library; medical facility; municipal service centre; office; place of assembly; research and development centre; and training centre.

 

Proposed Zoning

 

The applicant requests that the following additional uses be permitted on the site: animal care establishment; artist studio; catering establishment; convenience store; personal service business, post office; retail food store; retail store; service repair shop; and technology industry.

 

 

DISCUSSION

 

Official Plan

 

The site is designated General Urban Area in the Official Plan. This designation permits the development of residential and employment, retail and service uses in order to support the development of sustainable communities. Policy 3.6.1.1 provides guidance on locating uses that are likely to draw traffic, such as commercial uses, to the perimeter of residential neighbourhoods. Development applications are to be evaluated in accordance with Policy 4.11 to ensure that proposed uses are compatible with and complement the surrounding land uses.

Appropriateness of the Proposed Zoning

 

From the point of view of the existing land use context, the property is well suited to accommodate a full range of commercial uses, as the site has good access, directly fronting two roads: Greenbank Road, an arterial road to the east, which allows for full turning movements in and out of the site, and Green Street to the west, which in turn connects to Greenbank  Road via Larkin Drive, at a fully signalized intersection.

 

The proposed additional commercial uses are compatible with surrounding land uses as the subject property is located in the middle of a commercial pocket representing the commercial core of old Barrhaven. A wide range of commercial land uses surround the subject property to the north, west and south.

 

Due to the limited space available at the subject site, the proposed additional land uses are bound to be of a small to medium scale and as such are not expected to have any negative impact on neighbouring land uses.

 

Staff recommends approval of this proposal for the following reasons: The proposed development is in accordance with the intent of the Official Plan in terms of compatibility and of development of complete and sustainable communities through a rich mix of land uses. The proposed use is located (at the edge of a neighbourhood and fronting onto an arterial road that accommodates car, truck and transit traffic) to serve both the local neighbourhood and wider parts of the city, which satisfies the locational attributes for mixed-use development, as outlined in Section 3.6.1 (General Urban Area) of the Official Plan.
