RECOMMANDATIONS DU RAPPORT

 

Que le Comité de l’urbanisme recommande au Conseil d’approuver une modification au Règlement de zonage 2008-250 en vue de faire passer le zonage du 6048-6060, chemin Renaud de DR – Zone d’aménagement futur à R3VV[xxxx] – Sous-zone résidentielle de densité 3 VV, exception xxxx, à O1 – Zone de parc et d’espace vert, tel qu’illustré dans le document 1 et exposé en détail dans le document 2.

 

 

BACKGROUND

 

The subject property is located to the south of Renaud Road between Joshua Street and Saddleridge Drive in the East Urban Community.  The property is a narrow strip of vacant land of approximately 5.2 hectares, which was not included in the Spring Valley Trails Subdivision to the east and west.  The Spring Valley Trails Subdivision was registered with two streets crossing the subject properties.  One of these streets, Felicity Crescent, has been constructed.    

 

Purpose of Zoning Amendment

 

The proposed Zoning By-law amendment is required to allow development of a fully serviced residential subdivision in the East Urban Community consisting of 89 on-street townhouses and 32 single detached homes.

 

Existing Zoning

 

The existing zoning of the property is DR, Development Reserve which recognizes lands that are intended for future urban development.

 

Proposed Zoning

 

The proposed zoning is R3VV[xxxx] - Residential Third Density Subzone VV exception xxxx and O1– Parks and Open Space Zone.  This will permit an urban residential development of single family dwellings, on street townhouses and parkland.

 

DISCUSSION

 

Provincial Policy Statement

 

The Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) provides direction on matters of Provincial Interest related to land-use planning and development by promoting efficient land use patterns that support development of viable liveable communities.  Contained within the policy statement are explicit policy objective that focus on growth in settlement areas, providing an appropriate range of housing with densities that efficiently use land resources (infrastructure and public service facilities), promoting public transit and other alternative transportation modes and creating healthy and active communities.

 

The proposed development is consistent with the objective and policies of the PPS and provides new residential development that makes efficient use of available and projected infrastructure services.

 

Official Plan 

 

The Official Plan designates the properties as General Urban with a Developing Community overlay.  This designation permits the development of a full range and choice of housing types to meet the needs of all, in combination with conveniently located related uses such as leisure, retail, service and institutional uses. The Developing Community overlay requires the completion of a community design plan prior to any development being approved.  The East Urban Community (Phase 1) Community Design Plan (CDP) was approved July 2005.

 

The East Urban Community (Phase 1) CDP designates the subdivision lands as Residential, Environmental Hazard Land and Parks.

 

The subdivision application for 6048-6060 Renaud Road (D07-16-11-0002) has yet to receive Draft Approval.

The proposed development meets density targets contained in the Official Plan and CDP for this land.

 

Details of Proposed Zoning 

 

The applicant is requesting that the zoning for 6048-6060 Renaud Road be changed to R3VV[xxxx] and O1 in advance of draft plan approval of the subdivision.

 

The VV subzone establishes design elements that allow compact built form.  The purpose is to permit different development standards primarily for areas designated as Developing Communities to promote efficient land use.  This design control brings the main entries to the houses closer to the street, and facilitates a more aesthetic streetscape.

 

Notwithstanding this, the exception [xxxx] requires the buildings to be set back from the street line by 5.5 metres to allow sufficient space for street trees.

 

The partial park block is to be zoned O1 as shown in Document 2.  This Parks and Open Space zone will permit a local park of 0.5 hectares. 

 

Staff are satisfied that the proposed changes in the zoning of 6048-6060 Renaud Road to R3VV[xxxx] and O1, is consistent with the policies of the Provincial Policy Statement, the Official Plan and the East Urban Community CDP and recommend approval. 

 

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPLICATIONS

 

The plans identified a park block next to an existing park block on the abutting subdivision.  The park location is central to all residents in the immediate neighbourhood with improved accessibility.  The consolidated park blocks will be developed as an active park.

 

Rideau Valley Conservation (RVC) has reviewed the proposed zoning amendment in the context of the related plan of subdivision.  RVC comments have been incorporated as part of the subdivision review, and the zoning is to be consistent with the draft approved Plan of Subdivision and the East Urban Community CDP.
