BACKGROUND

 

On June 25, 2008 City Council adopted the new comprehensive Zoning By-law 2008-250 affecting all properties within the city. The new Zoning By-law replaces the 36 zoning by-laws of the former municipalities.  Staff have been monitoring the Zoning By-law and identifying anomalies since its adoption.  Reports to correct these anomalies are being forwarded to Committee and Council for approval on a regular basis.

 

 

DISCUSSION

 

This report recommends amendments to correct a number of anomalies in the urban and rural areas of the city.  Document 1 provides recommendations for Planning Committee regarding anomalies in the urban area.  Document 2 provides recommendations for the Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee regarding anomalies in the rural area.  Document 3 provides recommendations for the consideration of both Committees regarding anomalies affecting the rural and urban areas.  Zoning maps that are pertinent to site- or area-specific recommendations are included in Document 4.

 

The recommended amendments are intended to correct mapping errors, typographical errors and minor technical drafting errors in the Zoning By-law.

 

 

RURAL IMPLICATIONS

 

The rezoning affecting the rural area is set forth in Document 2.

 

 

CONSULTATION

 

Notice of the public meeting to deal with these anomalies and corrections was provided in The Citizen and Le Droit, with a listing of the addresses and provisions subject to correction. As well, interested parties have been notified by individual mail.

Objective of Amendment

Proposed Amendment

 

Map Corrections

 

103 Leopolds Drive

 

Ward 16

This property is zoned Residential First Density - R1GG[500] S165.

 

There is an error on the legend of Schedule 165 such that the shading and hatching assigned to front yard parking and landscaped areas have become reversed.

 

Schedule 21 of the former City of Ottawa Zoning By-law 1998 shows the reverse of the provisions of Schedule 165.  Therefore an error occurred in the transcription process between the 1998 By-law and By-law 2008-250 that needs to be corrected.

Amend Part 17, Schedule 165, as shown in Document 4.

5330 Canotek Road

 

Ward 11

 

This property is zoned Light Industrial - IL2[1] H (14).

 

Exception [1] was incorrectly assigned to this property on the Zoning Map.  Exception [1] permits a snow disposal facility.

 

The Zoning Map of Gloucester By-law 333 of 1999 shows this property as zoned Business Park - Mp (E4).  However, there is no Mp (E4) zone listed in the relevant Exceptions to By-law 333 of 1999.

 

The Zoning Map of Gloucester By-law 222 of 1984 shows 5330 Canotek Road zoned as Business Park Facility - Mp (E9). 

 

Exception (E9) states:  “automotive repair garage in units No. 11 and 12 of 5330 Canotek Road.”

 

The definition of automotive repair garage in By-law 222 is analogous to the definition of automobile repair service station in By-law 2008-250.

 

As the IL2 subzone does not permit an automobile service station, a new Exception should be created to reflect this provision and permit an automobile service station in Units 11 and 12.

Amend the Zoning Map of By-law 2008-250 to rezone 5330 Canotek Road from IL2[1] H (14) to IL2 [xxxx] H (14) as shown in Document 4.

 

Amend Section 239 of By-law 2008-250 to add new Exception [xxxx].  Column III - Additional Permitted Uses to read:

 

-automobile service station

 

And Column V - Provisions to read:

 

-automobile service station only permitted in units 11 and 12 of 5330 Canotek Road.

 

 

22 Brisbane Road

 

Ward 9

This City-owned property is known as Pineglen Park and contains a natural area, children’s playground and tennis courts.

 

The property was zoned Parks and Recreation Public - PRP in the former Nepean Zoning By-law.  This zone permitted the playground, tennis courts and conservation lands.

 

Under By-law 2008-250, the site is zoned Environmental Protection - EP3.  The EP3 subzone permits a detached dwelling, a use that was not permitted under the former zoning by-law and is not consistent with the Urban Natural Feature designation for this property under the Official Plan.  The EP zone does not permit a detached dwelling.

 

Therefore it is recommended that the Zoning Map be amended to reflect the appropriate EP subzone.

Amend the Zoning Map of By-law 2008-250 for 22 Brisbane Road by rezoning the property from EP3 to EP, as shown in Document 4.

820 Woodroffe Avenue

 

Ward 7

This property is the site of a Salvation Army Church and is bisected by two residential zones - R1O and R2G.

 

The Official Plan of the former City of Ottawa, adopted in 1991, contained policy 10.3.2 (b), which instructed City staff to create a new zone for institutional uses and stated that the practice of permitting institutional uses in residential zones as-of-right would cease.

 

Consequently, existing institutional uses in residential zones were rezoned to an institutional use.

 

This property was constructed as a church in 1969 and was overlooked in the rezoning process initiated by the former Official Plan.

 

In order to remedy this, this property should be rezoned from the two Residential uses, R1O and R2G, to Minor Institutional - I1A.

 

Amend the Zoning Map of By-law 2008-250 to rezone 820 Woodroffe Avenue as shown in Document 4.

 

Area A is rezoned from R1O to I1A and Area B is rezoned from R2G to I1A.

121 Marier Avenue

 

Ward 12

This property is currently zoned General Mixed Use - GM8 H(9).

 

The GM8 subzone is a site specific subzone intended to apply to lands in the vicinity of the Vanier Parkway and Landry Street.

Consequently the land uses and development standards in the subzone are inapplicable to a property on Marier Avenue.

 

A typographical error on the Zoning Map resulted in these lands being zoned GM8 H(9) rather than GM H(9), which is the appropriate zone for this property.

Amend the Zoning Map of By-law 2008-250 to rezone 121 Marier Avenue from GM8 H(9) to GM H(9) as shown in Document 4.

 

 

2575 Innes Road

 

 

Ward 2

A medical facility was permitted under the former Ic - Institutional Community zone in the Gloucester Zoning By-law 333 of 1999.  An exception should have been applied to the I1E - Minor Institutional subzone E to recognize this existing medical facility.

 

Amend the Zoning Map of By-law 2008-250 to rezone the subject lands from I1E to I1E[xxx], as shown in Document 4.

 

Amend Section 239 - Urban Exceptions to add a new Exception [xxx], Column III-Additional Permitted Uses to read:

-          medical facility

99 Cathcart Street

 

Ward 12

This property, a parking lot ancillary to a hospital, is currently zoned Residential Fourth Density - R4S[778]. 

 

Exception [778] provides additional provisions for a group home, a use that is not in existence at this address. It is noted that the former Ottawa Zoning By-law 93-98 permitted a parking lot and garage accessory to the Ottawa General Hospital at this address. 

 

In Zoning By-law 2008-250, Exception [788] permits a parking lot and parking garage accessory to the Ottawa General Hospital.  This Exception has not been applied to any location on the Zoning Map.

 

A typographical error occurred on the zoning map.  Exception [788], the correct Exception for this location, should have been applied on the zoning map rather than Exception [778].

 

Furthermore, it would be appropriate if the Exception were amended to refer to “ancillary” uses to the hospital as opposed to “accessory” uses.

 

As the original Exception was written at a time when the hospital was referred to as the Ottawa General Hospital, an amendment is needed to exception [788] to replace this reference with “43 Bruyère Street,” the street address of the hospital.

Amend the Zoning Map of By-law 2008-250 to rezone 99 Cathcart Street from R4S[778] to R4S[788] as shown in Document 4.

 

Amend Section 239, Exception [788] by deleting the text in Column V - Provisions, and replace with:

 

-parking lot and parking garage ancillary to a hospital use or ancillary to a hospital use at 43 Bruyère Street.

 

Amend Section 239, Exception [778], Column II - Applicable Zone, by deleting the reference to R4S[778].

 

 

70 Fieldrow Street

 

Ward 8

This property is zoned Residential Second Density - R2M.  It is currently the site of the Canadian Montessori Academy.

 

 

Under the former Nepean By-law 100-2000, the site was zoned Institutional School - IS Block 5.

 

Therefore there was a mapping error when By-law 2008-250 was introduced.

 

In order to remedy this, it is recommended that 70 Fieldrow Street be rezoned to Minor Institutional - I1A.

Amend the Zoning Map of By-law 2008-250 to rezone 70 Fieldrow Street from R2M to I1A, as shown in Document 4.

 

Text Corrections

 

Section 185 - Arterial Mainstreet Zone

 

Urban Area

Table 185, row (f), is not clear in its reference to the exact limit of distance from residential property lines.

 

It is recommended that row (f) be amended as shown in Column III to provide greater clarity in this regard.

Amend Table 185 of Section 185 of By-law No. 2008-250 by:

 

deleting (f)(i) and replacing it with "in any area up to and including 20 metres from a property line abutting a R1, R2 or R3 residential zone"

 

deleting (f)(ii) and replacing it with "in any area up to and including 20 metres from a property line abutting a R4 zone"

 

deleting (f)(iiii) and replacing it with "in any area over 20 metres and up to and including 30 metres from a property line abutting a R1, R2, R3 or R4 zone”

General Mixed Use Subzone 8

 

Urban Area

The General Mixed Use Subzone 8 zone, GM8, was implemented as a site specific subzone.

 

The property in question was zoned Special Commercial Zone 1, SC-1, under the former Vanier Zoning By-law 2380. 

 

These lands were subsequently rezoned, however the GM8 subzone provisions were not deleted from the Zoning By-law.

 

As the GM8 provisions are site specific, it is recommended that they be deleted from the Zoning By-law and the subzone held in reserve until such time as a further GM subzone is needed.

Amend the Zoning By-law by deleting the text in Section 188(8)(a) , (b) and (c).

 

158 McArthur Avenue

 

Ward 12

This property is zoned Residential Fifth Density - R5E[1098] H(57).  Exception [1098] lists a “personal service business limited to an aesthetician” as a permitted use.

 

The former zoning under the Vanier Zoning By-law added “aesthetician” as a permitted use, rather than limiting the range of personal service business uses permitted. 

 

End note 8 to the R5 Zone also applies to this property.  It permits a personal service business in the R5E zone.  As the personal service business use already includes an aesthetician, the reference to an aesthetician in Exception [1098] is superfluous and it should be removed to ensure clarity.

Amend Section 239, Exception [1098], to remove the following from Column III - Additional Land Uses Permitted:

 

-personal service business limited to an aesthetician.

 

 

506 Richardson Avenue

 

Ward 7

This property is zoned Residential Fifth Density - R5B[869] H (18). 

 

Exception [869] permits additional uses and specifies a minimum front yard setback of 6 m and corner side yard setback of 4.5 m.

 

Notwithstanding that this property is an interior lot, these provisions are reflective of the former City of Ottawa By-law 1999 zoning designation R6A and were carried over in error to By-law 2008-250.

Amend Section 239, Exception [869], to delete the following from Column V - Provisions:

 

-minimum front yard setback of 6 m;

 

-minimum corner side yard of 4.5 m

 

 

1980 Ogilvie Road

 

Ward 11

 

 

Column II for Exception [1333] states that the Exception applies to zones MC [1333] F(2.0) H (30) and MC [1333] F(2.0).

 

There are no properties shown on the Zoning Map zoned MC [1333] F(2.0) H(30).

 

1980 Ogilvie Road is zoned MC [1333] F(2.0) H(48), however.

 

Therefore Column II should be amended to reflect this.

Amend Section 239, Exception [1333], Column II - Applicable Zones.  Delete:

 

MC [1333] F(2.0) H(30)

 

Replace with:

 

MC [1333] F(2.0) H(48).

455 Donald Street

 

Ward 13

 

This property is zoned General Mixed Use- GM15[46] F(1.0).

 

An automobile service station has been in existence in this location since 1959.  The former Ottawa Zoning By-law permitted an automobile service station and prohibited all other uses.  A drafting error in the Exception [46] resulted in all uses being prohibited except for a gas bar. 

 

Amend Section 239, Exception [46] , by deleting the text in Column IV- Prohibited Uses and replacing it with the following text:

 

-all uses except automobile service station.

 

Central Area

 

Ward 14

Section 105(2) of the Tandem Parking Provisions is unclear as it refers to parking “in” a hotel.

 

In order to remedy this, it is recommended that the word “for” replace the word “in” in the relevant sentence.

Amend Section 105(2) of By-law 2008-250.  Remove the word “in” before the words “a hotel” and replace with the word “for,”so that the first part of the sentence now reads:

 

“Despite Section 100(5), attendant parking is permitted in the Area A on Schedule 1 (Central Area) for a hotel or in a principal use or accessory use parking garage or parking lot…”

Section 191 - Mixed Use Centre Zone

 

Urban Area

 

 

Table 191, row (h), is not clear in its reference to the exact limit of distance from residential property lines.

 

It is recommended that it be amended as shown in Column III to provide greater clarity in this regard.

Amend Table 191 of Section 191 of By-law No. 2008-250 by:

 

deleting (h)(i) and replacing it with "in any area up to and including 20 metres from a property line abutting a R1, R2, R3 or R4 zone,”

 

deleting (h)(ii) and replacing it with "in any area over 20 metres and up to and including 30 metres from a property line abutting a R1, R2, R3 or R4 residential zone"

 

Section 191 - Mixed Use Centre Zone

 

Urban Area

Sub paragraph 192(9)(d) of the Mixed Use Centre Zone is currently grammatically incorrect and unclear.

 

This provision is from the former Kanata Zoning By-law 78-96, subsection 8.2(i)(vi), which reads:

 

The Gross Leasable Floor Area (GFLA) of any individual non residential use, other than a Department Store or Cinema/Theatre, shall not exceed a maximum of 5,000 square metres.

 

Therefore the grammatically unclear sub paragraph should be amended accordingly. 

Amend sub paragraph 192(9)(d) of the Zoning By-law so that it reads:

 

“No individual use may exceed a total gross leasable floor area of 5,000 square metres.”

Parts of 2175 Roger Stevens Drive

 

Ward 21

This property is currently zoned both Village First Density Residential - V1C[309r] and Parks and Open Space - O1[310r].  In addition, there is a Flood Plain Hazard Overlay mirroring the O1 Zone.

 

Exception [309r] permits an agricultural use and a park use and Exception [310r] permits an agricultural use.

 

The Flood Plain Hazard Overlay shown on the Zoning Map mirrors that shown by the - Valley Conservation Authority (RCVA).

 

The RCVA recently changed the Flood Plain Hazard Overlay boundary as it relates to 2175 Roger Stevens Drive.  Therefore it is appropriate that the City’s Zoning Map be changed accordingly.

 

Furthermore, because the O1 zone mirrors the Flood Plain Hazard Overlay in village designations, on residential lots, the appropriate area no longer covered by the Overlay will need to be rezoned V1C[309r] to place it in accordance with the zoning of the balance of the lot.

Amend the Zoning Map of By-law 2008-250 to show the new boundary of the Flood Plain Hazard Overlay for 2175 Roger Stevens Drive as shown in Document 4.

 

Rezone that part of 2175 Roger Stevens Drive no longer within the Flood Plain Hazard Overlay from O1[310r] to V1C[309r], as shown in Document 4.

3370, 3380, 3385, 3429, 3435, 3438, 3443 Farmer’s Way

 

Ward 19

 

 

These properties are zoned Environmental Protection Zone -EP, in By-law 2008-250.

 

Under the former Gloucester By-law, they were zoned Estate Residential - Re1

 

The EP zone does not permit a detached dwelling and therefore is not representative of the prior Estate Residential zone.

 

All of these properties have detached dwellings that predate the zone change.  As the Official Plan policy 3.2.2.3 permits a detached dwelling in the applicable Land Use Category, Natural Environment Area, and the previous zoning was for a residential use, Estate Residential, the zoning should be changed from EP to EP3 to permit a detached dwelling.

Amend the Zoning Map of By-law 2008-250 to rezone 3370, 3380, 3385, 3429, 3435, 3438, 3443 Farmer’s Way from EP to EP3, as shown in Document 4.

 

 

6150 Mitch Owens Road

 

Ward 20

This property is zoned Rural Residential - RR10.

 

Under the previous Osgoode By-laws 16-1971 and 2003-230 the property was zoned Village Community - V.  This was a mixed use zone that permitted a variety of residential and non residential uses, including a hair salon.

 

In order to recognize a use formerly permitted under By-law 2003-230, amendments are proposed to permit a hair salon, run as a home-based business, having three coiffeur chairs and two off-site employees.

 

Therefore a new Exception should be created to permit a hair salon, run has a home based business, at that location.  The hair salon would have permission for 3 coiffeur chairs, 2 on-site, non-resident employees and the ability to serve no more than 3 customers at a time.

Amend the Zoning Map of By-law 2008-250 to rezone 6150 Mitch Owens Road from RR10 to RR10[xxxr], as shown in Document 4.

 

Amend Section 240 of the By-law by adding Exception [xxxr].  Column V - Provisions to read:

 

-Despite any provisions to the contrary in Section 127, the following apply to a hair salon operated as a home based business:

 

- limited to a maximum of three coiffeur chairs.

- 2 on-site, non-resident employees are permitted per principal dwelling unit.

- three clients or customers may be attended or served on-site.

Canon Smith Drive, Timber Lane and Part of Moorhead Drive

 

Ward 5

These properties are zoned Rural Residential - RR5[19r].

 

These properties are affected by the provisions of both By-laws 2009-347 and 2010-125.

 

By-law 2009-347 was appealed.  The provisions of By-law 2010-125 are reflected in Exception [19r].  Exception [19r] carries forward provisions from the former West Carleton Zoning By-law to permit lots on private Roads.

 

By-law 2009-347 is no longer under appeal.  Its provisions are reflected in Exception [343r].

 

However, the provisions of [343r], regarding watercourse setbacks, have not yet been applied to the properties in question, the only geographic area where the provisions of both By-laws overlap.

 

Therefore a new Exception [xxxr] needs to be created for this geographic overlap area  to reflect the provisions of both By-laws.

Amend the Zoning Map  of By-law 2008-250 to rezone the properties shown in Document 4 as follows:

 

Area A rezoned from RR5[19r] to RR5[xxxr];

Area B rezoned from RR14[19r] to RR14[xxxr];

Area C rezoned from RR15[19r] to RR15[xxxr]

 

Amend Section 240 by adding  Exception [xxxr].  Column V - Provisions to read:

 

- despite Section 59 - Frontage on a Public Street, development of the subject land is permitted.


- required yard setbacks are determined by considering the lot line closest or parallel to the nearest street, or to an access lane in front of the lot, as the front lot line.

 

- additions and accessory structures, maximum 24 square metres in floor area as measured from the outside walls, are permitted within the 30 metre setback from watercourses and waterbodies as long as the addition or accessory structure is no closer than the principal building to the water.


- uncovered, unenclosed features such as decks or platforms where the walking surface is not higher than 0.6 m above adjacent grade are permitted to project a maximum of 3 metres from a principal building located within the 30 metre setback from watercourses and waterbodies.


- uncovered, unenclosed features such as decks or platforms where the walking surface is higher than 0.6 m above adjacent grade are permitted to project a maximum of 3 metres, but no closer than 1 metre from any lot line, from a principal building located within the 30 metre setback from watercourses and waterbodies.


- minimum front yard setback for lots abutting watercourses or waterbodies: 3 metres.

3400 Old Montreal Road, 3279 Wilhaven Drive and unaddressed parcels between Old Montreal Road and Wilhaven Drive and Lough Drive and Beckett’s Creek Road

 

Ward 19

The subject lands are zoned RR[515r]-h.  The exception [515r] and holding symbol were applied in error as the former Cumberland Zoning By-law 64-82 did not apply a holding symbol or exception to these lands.  Further, the  RR1 subzone should have been applied to these lands as this subzone best reflects the lot area and lot width requirements of the former Cumberland  ER - Estate Residential zone. 

 

 

Amend the Zoning Map of By-law 2008-250 to rezone the subject lands from RR[515r]-h to RR1, as shown in Document 4.

Parts of 72, 76, 78, 80 Creek Drive

 

 

Ward 5

The Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority has provided updated mapping information regarding the location of the flood plain, and accordingly, the location of the flood plain overlay on the zoning map requires amendment. 

 

Amend the Zoning Map of By-law 2008-250 to rezone parts of the subject lands from V1H[215r] - Flood plain overlay to V1H[215r], and from O1-  Flood plain overlay to O1, as shown in Document 4.

6630 Third Line Road South

 

Ward 21

This property was zoned A2 - General Rural under the provisions of the former - Zoning By-law 2004-428.

 

The A2 zone permitted a variety of uses, among these being a single family dwelling and agricultural uses, including equestrian-related activities.

 

Under By-law 2008-250 this property is zoned V1C[309r] and O1[310r].  These are Village Residential First Density and Open Space, the latter reflecting the Flood Plain Hazard Overlay that partially covers the site. 

 

Exceptions [309r] and [310r] permit an agricultural use, however the existing equestrian establishment was not recognized in either Exception.

Amend Section 240, Exception [309r], to add the following permitted use to Column III - Additional Land Uses Permitted:

 

-Equestrian Establishment.

 

Add in Column V - Provisions:

 

-The provisions of Table 211, Column II apply.

 

-Minimum lot area for agricultural use or equestrian establishment is 15 hectares.

 

 

3850 Milton Road

 

Ward 19

Column II for Exception [244r] states that the Exception applies to zone AG2[244r]. 

 

There is no property zoned AG2[244r] shown on the Zoning Maps.  3850 Milton Road is zoned AG[244r].

 

As such, reference to the AG2[244r] exception zone should be deleted from Column II.

Amend Section 240 of the Zoning By-law, Exception [244r], by deleting AG2[244r] from Column II - Applicable Zone. 

 

Place AG[244r] in Column II - Applicable Zone.

2980 Conley Road

 

Ward 21

This property is zoned RC4[460r].  Exception [460r] prohibits all other uses save an amusement park, limited to a dirt race track.

 

Under the former Goulbourn Zoning By-law 40-99, this property was designated OS - Open Space.  This provision permitted an “outdoor recreational establishment,” a “race track,” and a “tourist camp.” 

 

Notwithstanding that Exception [460r] prohibits all other uses except a dirt race track, a “tourist camp” was previously permitted at this location under the OS provisions.  As a “tourist camp” is analogous to a campground, and this is a permitted use in the RC4 zone and this site was previously used as a “tourist camp,” a campground should be added to the list of permitted uses under Exception [460r].

 

It should be further noted in Exception [460r] that the campground use be seasonal so as to fully reflect the definition of “tourist camp” in By-law 40-99.

Amend Section 240 of the Zoning By-law, Exception [460r], by adding the

the following to Column IV - Land Uses Prohibited:

 

(all uses except for)

-a campground

 

Add to Column V - Provisions:

 

-a campground is a seasonal use only.

2405 March  Road

 

Ward 5

This property is zoned Rural Commercial - RC3[213r].

 

Previously, the property was zoned Rural Commercial Exception Zone 33 (CR-33) in the former West Carleton Zoning By-law 266 of 1981.

 

The CR-33 zone contained a parking provision for 5 spaces that was not carried over into By-law 2008-250.  Consequently it is recommended that Exception [213r] be amended to reflect this provision.

Amend Section 240 of By-law 2008-250, Exception [213r], by adding the following to Column V - Provisions:

 

-minimum of 5 parking spaces required.

Objective of Amendments

III

Proposed Amendments

Section 112 - Provisions for Drive-Through Operations

 

City-wide

Section 112 contains an error at subsection (4), which reads:

“Despite subsection (4), where a queuing line...”  The subsection refers to itself in error; it should refer to subsection ‘(3)’.

Amend Section 112(4) to remove the reference to ‘(4)’ and replace with ‘(3)’.

Section 111 - Bicycle Parking Space Rates and Provisions

 

City-wide

Section 111(7) states:

 

“A maximum of 50% of the required bicycle parking spaces or 15 spaces, whichever is greater, may be located in a landscaped area except for the landscaped area required under subsection (5).”

 

Section 111(5) states:

 

“Deleted as per (OMB File #PLO80959 issued November 5, 2009)”.

 

Consequently subsection 111(7) refers to 111(5) in error and needs to be amended accordingly.

Amend Section 111(7).

Remove “...except for the landscaped area required under subsection (5).”

 

Section 101 - Minimum Parking Space Rates

 

City-wide

Row (cl) of Table 101 refers to “Restaurant - Fast Food (drive-in).  The term “drive-in” is not currently used in By-law 2008-250.

Amend Table 101.  Delete the term “drive-in” from Row (cl).

Comprehensive zoning by-law 2008-250:
anomalies and minor corrections - first quarter 2011

rÈglement gÉnÉral de zonage 2008-250 : anomalies et corrections mineures - premier trimestre de 2011

ACS2011-ICS-PGM-0012                             CITY WIDE / À L’ÉCHELLE DE LA VILLE

 

Mr. Euan Wood, Planner, Land Use and Natural Systems, Policy Development and Urban Design, Planning and Growth Management (PGM), Infrastructure Services and Community Sustainability (ISCS), began by introducing Ms. Carol Ruddy, Planner, Land Use and Natural Systems, PGM, ISCS.  Mr. Wood then spoke to a PowerPoint slide presentation which served to provide the Committee with a brief overview of the staff report.  A copy of this presentation is held on file with the City Clerk.

 

In response to questions from the Chair as to how much longer such anomaly reports would require Committee’s review, Mr. John Moser, General Manager, PGM, ISCS, reported that although such reports are currently prepared on a quarterly basis, it was hoped that over time, they would proceed yearly, as staff finish dealing with remaining anomalous situations.

 

Mr. Doug Argue, the property owner of 2980 Conley Road, spoke in support of the reintroduction of camping as a permitted use for his property under the By-Law.  He also outlined his concerns regarding the removal of the previously-allowable uses, which had included amusement park, camping, golf course, etc., but which had been removed in 2008, leaving motocross track as the only permitted use.  Mr. Argue also noted there were also mapping discrepancies associated with his 62-acre property, which did not seem to encompass the original subject area as delineated in the early 1970’s, and he questioned whether, as a result, there were two zonings on the property.

 

Ms. Ruddy explained that the current zoning reflected, as accurately as possible, the former zoning boundaries of the former Goulbourn Zoning By-Law, given that many of the older maps had been hand-drawn, which had presented difficulties when switching to an electronic mapping database.  With regard to the range of permitted uses, Ms. Ruddy explained that Official Plan (OP) policies for the General Rural Area provide direction that villages should be the focus of development, and that in general, the range of permitted commercial uses in the General Rural Area is quite restricted.  She added that in drafting the new Zoning By-Law, the approach had been to recognize all existing commercial uses, acknowledging that some had been lost in the process of developing new Rural Commercial zones, as it would not be in order to have a wide range of commercial uses dispersed throughout the General Rural Area. 

 

Mr. Argue commented that many of the previously allowable uses were not of the kind that most residents would want in a town environment, i.e.; amusement park or racetrack, which were previously listed as separate uses under the old By-Law, and with the new By-Law listing the racetrack as an amusement park use.  Ms. Ruddy acknowledged that the current zoning is restrictive, permitting only an amusement park limited to a racetrack in this location.  She said the recommended amendment to the report would add the use of campground, which was a legally-established use at the time CZBL 2008-250 came into effect, but of which staff had been unaware at the time. 

 

Chair Thompson felt it would be prudent to defer this section of the report for further review and discussion with the Ward Councillor (Councillor Moffatt), to return for the Committee’s consideration at its next meeting, rather than try to resolve matters in haste.  Councillor Moffatt concurred, acknowledging that in addition to the concerns raised by the property owner, neighbouring property owners also had concerns of their own. 

 

In response to questions from the property owner as to what would happen in the meantime regarding his campground use, Ms. Ruddy confirmed that Mr. Argue did have a legal, non-conforming right to the existing campground use, established under the former Goulbourn By-Law, which would continue as a permitted use.  With the concurrence of the Ward Councillor, the property owner and staff, it was agreed that this matter would be deferred, for the Committee’s consideration, to its next meeting.

 

Dr. Ranjit Perera referenced the report with respect to his own property holdings in Cumberland, for which he had undertaken a subdivision application, and he questioned whether neighbouring property owners had also been informed of the proposed changes in zoning.  Assured by staff that they had been contacted, Mr. Perera then referred to a  holding symbol designation on part of his property for which he had been in discussions with staff regarding the creation of a multi-cultural, multi-generational, and multi-faith sanctuary and sculpture park.  He asked whether converting the designation to RR1 from the holding designation would permit additional uses.  Ms. Ruddy explained that Exception 515r does not add uses, but applies a condition stipulating that development may only occur on subject lands upon the approval of a subdivision application or consent application.  She further added that the holding symbol and related conditions were never in effect under the former Zoning By-Law, but were applied in error, and that this amendment would correct the zoning, and return it to what it had been previously (and to what it should have been when CZBL 2008-250 was adopted in June of 2008). 

Moved by Councillor S. Moffatt:

 

That the Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee recommend Council approve the amendments recommended in Column III of Documents 2 and 3 to correct anomalies in Zoning By-law 2008-250, as further amended by the following:

 

Deleting the text in Document 2 regarding the property located at 2980 Conley Road, to allow for a deferral of consideration of this property to a future meeting of the Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee.

 

                                                                                                                       CARRIED as amended
