REPORT RECOMMENDATION

 

That the Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee recommend Council approve an amendment to the Zoning By-law 2008-250 to change the zoning for 2740 Roger Stevens Drive from Agricultural Subzone 1 with a floodplain overlay (AG1) to Agricultural Subzone 6, with a floodplain overlay and an exception (AG6 [XXXr]) to permit a reduced lot width as shown in Document 1 and as detailed in Document 2.

 

RECOMMANDATION DU RAPPORT

 

Que le Comité de l’agriculture et des affaires rurales recommande au Conseil d’approuver une modification au Règlement de zonage 2008-250 visant à faire passer la désignation de zonage de la propriété située au 2740, promenade Roger-Stevens, de sous-zone agricole 1 avec zone sous-jacente de plaine inondable (AG1) à sous-zone agricole 6 avec zone sous-jacente de plaine inondable et une exception (AG6 [XXXr]), afin de permettre une largeur de lot réduite, comme l’illustre le document 1 et le précise le document 2.

 

 

BACKGROUND

 

The subject parcel is known as 2740 Roger Stevens Drive. The parcel is in an agricultural area, on the south side of Roger Stevens Drive, east of McCordick Road, and west of Malakoff Road.

 

Purpose of Zoning Amendment

 

The rezoning is required to fulfill a condition of the Committee of Adjustment decision to sever a 3.6-hectare parcel containing a dwelling and outbuildings made surplus through farm consolidation.

 

Existing Zoning

 

The existing zoning of the severed and retained properties is Agricultural Subzone 1 (AG1). The existing zone contemplates Agricultural uses and sets minimum zone provisions related to agricultural uses.  There is a floodplain overlay affecting the rear of the property.

 

Proposed Zoning

 

Retained Parcel – 2740 Roger Stevens Drive – to be zoned Agricultural Subzone 6 with a floodplain overlay and an exception (AG6 [XXXr]).

 

DISCUSSION

 

Official Plan 

 

The parcel is designated Agricultural Resource in the Official Plan. The policies permit severance of a dwelling and immediately adjacent outbuildings made surplus through farm consolidation, provided the vacant agricultural parcel is rezoned to prohibit any residential use.

 

The Committee of Adjustment in granting the severance of the dwelling and immediately adjacent outbuildings, has required, in accordance with the Official Plan, the retained lands to be rezoned, prior to finalization of the consent.  The proposed zoning therefore implements the intent of the Official Plan.

 

Details of Proposed Zoning 

 

In accordance with the Provincial Policy Statement and the Official Plan, the Committee of Adjustment required that the retained vacant farmland be rezoned to prohibit future residential dwellings.

 

The Zoning By-law sets up specific zones that prohibit residential uses for these circumstances, depending on the area and frontage associated with the final parcel configuration.  In this case, the retained parcel is approximately 28 hectares in area. The Agricultural Subzone 6 sets a minimum lot area of 18 hectares.

 

The subject land has a broken lot width. The Agricultural Subzone 6 requires a minimum lot width of 60 metres. The lot width is calculated using the lot line abutting the road for the shortest distance.  The shortest distance at the road is 30.37 metres. When measured at the 10-metre front yard setback, the resulting lot width is less than 60 metres. As such, a rural exception is required to the Agricultural Subzone 6(AG6) zone to permit a minimum lot width of 30 metres as detailed in Document 2.

 

The Agricultural Subzone 6 with a floodplain overlay with an exception (AG6[XXXr]) will therefore be appropriate for the retained parcel.

 

Servicing Issues 

 

No servicing exists on the retained parcel.

 

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPLICATIONS

 

The rear portion of the lot is affected by the 1:100 year floodplain and is recognized as such in the floodplain overlay in the Zoning By-law.  No change to the floodplain overlay is proposed by this zoning amendment.

 

RURAL IMPLICATIONS

 

The rezoning supports the agricultural community, permitting a farmer to dispose of a dwelling surplus to his operation, while protecting and preserving the agricultural use of the retained lands, by prohibiting future dwellings to be constructed thereon.

Notice of this application was carried out in accordance with the City's Public Notification and Consultation Policy.  The City did not receive any negative comments or opposition to this application.
