BACKGROUND

 

The subject property (2190 Maple Forest Drive) is located in the Village of North Gower, south

of Roger Stevens Drive and east of Fourth Line Road.

 

The subject site consists of undeveloped agricultural land and hedgerows, and is approximately 16.9 hectares in size. The Stevens Creek Floodplain borders the lands to the north, village residential development is to the east and west, and the Alfred Taylor Community grounds are to the northwest.

 

On February 29, 2008 the Owner filed concurrently, a Plan of Subdivision and Zoning By-law amendment application.  The plan of subdivision was draft approved on August 10, 2011 (see Document 5).  The subdivision provides for 50 single detached Village residential lots serviced by individual wells and septic systems.  The average lot size in the development is 2,637 square metres and a minimum 30 metres lot frontage is proposed.  The lots front on three public streets with access to internal connections, Trailwood Drive and Maple Forest Drive.  A condition of final approval requires the Owner, prior to registration of the Plan, to ensure that the proposed plan conforms with a Zoning By-law approved under the requirements of the Planning Act.

 

Purpose of Zoning Amendment

 

The purpose of this amendment is to facilitate the development of an approved draft plan of subdivision and to recognize approved changes to the regulatory flood plain.

 

More specifically, this application will rezone part of 2190 Maple Forest Drive from Village Residential First Density, Subzone C, Exception [309r] (V1C [309r])  and Parks and Open Space, Exception [309] (O1 [309r]) subject to a Flood Plain Hazard Overlay to Village Residential First Density, Subzone G Exception [667r] (V1G [667r]), Rural Institutional, Subzone 3 (RI3) and Parks and Open Space, Exception [309r] (O1 [309r]).  Further, this application will amend the boundaries of the Flood Plain Hazard Overlay as shown within Part 18 – Zoning Maps to reflect the new flood plain limit (approved by the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority).  It is noted that the current flood plain provisions (By-law 2008-250) are under appeal and therefore the former Township of Rideau By-law provisions remain in force.  To address the current flood plain provisions in effect for this property this amendment will also revise the former Township of Rideau Zoning By-law (By-law 2004-428) Schedule A, Map 4B.

 

Existing Zoning

 

The property is currently zoned V1C [309r] and O1[309r] in Zoning By-law 2008-250. Further, lands zoned O1 [309r] are also subject to Section 58, the Flood Plain Hazard Overlay.The V1C [309r] zone permits detached dwellings and a limited range of compatible uses.  The O1[309r] zone is a parks and open space zone.

 

Proposed Zoning

As a result of the draft approved plan of subdivision and revisions to the flood plain limit, the following changes are required:

 

DISCUSSION

 

The lands that are subject to this application are within the “Village” designation as identified on Schedule ‘A’, Rural Policy Plan and Flood Plain on Schedule ‘K’, Environmental Constraints Plan in the Official Plan.  The lands are further designated in the North Gower Community Design Plan (CDP) as Residential, Open Space and Stevens Creek Flood Plain.

 

The CDP for the Village of North Gower was approved by City Council in November of 2007 as a policy document, to guide the long-term growth and development of North Gower. It provides guidelines for the day-to-day decision-making on land use planning, such as subdivision, zoning and site plan applications, and it sets the community’s priorities for the future.

 

On Schedule ‘A’ Land Use of the CDP, a single Residential land use designation is shown throughout the village.  This designation generally applies to existing residential subdivisions and farmlands that are not affected by the Stevens Creek flood plain.  Section 4.1.1 of the CDP states, generally detached dwellings will be the only type of residential development permitted.  However, this does not preclude other forms of residential development from being considered in the future.

 

The site has been the subject of a detailed topographic survey (as approved by the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority) to establish the exact limits of the Stevens Creek flood plain.  The floodplain projects into the Owner’s lands, however, no development (lot creation) will be located within the floodplain boundaries.

The plan provides for parkland along the northwest portion of the site and will be developed as an extension to the Alfred Taylor Community grounds.

The plan of subdivision is a phased extension of the surrounding neighbourhoods approved in the early 1990s.  The development is compatible with the surrounding land uses within the community and maintains the distinct character of North Gower.  The draft approved plan conforms to the direction Official Plan and the North Gower Community Design Plan (CDP)

The conditions of draft approval were supported by the applicant and the Ward Councillor.   All public concerns and technical issues raised during the subdivision process were addressed; no objections were received.

 

Staff recommend that this Zoning By-law amendment be approved as it implements the approved draft plan of subdivision through the introduction of an appropriate zone to permit development.

 

RURAL IMPLICATIONS

 

The proposal is consistent with the Official Plan and the North Gower CDP.  The proposed Zoning By-law amendment will have no adverse effects on the rural community.

 

CONSULTATION

 

Notice of this application was carried out in accordance with the City's Public Notification and Consultation Policy. Details of the consultation can be seen in Document 6.
