REPORT RECOMMENDATION

 

That the  recommend Council approve an amendment to Zoning By-law 2008-250 to change the zoning of part of 3149 Carp Road from RC9 (Rural Commercial zone, subzone 9) to RI6 (Rural Institutional zone, Subzone 6) as shown in Document 1.

 

RECOMMANDATION DU RAPPORT

 

Que le Comité de  recommande au Conseil d’approuver une modification au Règlement de zonage 2008-250 en vue de faire passer le zonage d’une partie du 3149, chemin Carp de R9 (Zone commerciale rurale, sous-zonee 9) à RI6 (Zone d’institutions rurales, sous-zone 6), tel qu’illustré dans le document 1.

 

 

BACKGROUND

 

The subject land is located on the west side of Carp Road and north of McGee Side Road.  The site is currently vacant, surrounded by rural commercial uses, the existing Huntley Presbyterian Cemetery to the northeast, vacant land to the southwest and residential uses to the east.

 

 

In May 2011, a portion of 3155 Carp Road (0.35 hectares) was conveyed to 3149 Carp Road (the existing Huntley Presbyterian Cemetery) in order to increase the land available for future use by the cemetery (application D08-01-11/B-00138 and D08-01-11/B-00138).

 

Purpose of Zoning Amendment

 

The purpose of the amendment is to rezone the lands from RC9 (Rural Commercial zone, subzone 9) to RI6 (Rural Institutional zone, subzone 6) to permit the use of a cemetery on the vacant parcel.  The proposed zoning matches the zoning of the existing cemetery to which the subject lands will be combined with.

 

Existing Zoning

 

The current zoning of the parcel is RC9 (Rural Commercial, subzone 9) under Zoning By-law 2008-250.  This zone permits a limited range of commercial uses including retail stores, animal care establishments and automobile service stations.  A cemetery is not a permitted use in this zone.

 

Proposed Zoning

 

The requested zoning amendment proposes to rezone part of the subject property from RC9 to RI6.  This zone permits the use of a cemetery.

 

DISCUSSION

 

Official Plan

 

According to the Official Plan, the subject land is designated Carp Road Corridor Rural Employment Area.  The intent of this designation is to reserve land for rural industrial and commercial uses.  All new development within this corridor must conform to the policies in the Carp Road Corridor Community Design Plan (CDP). 

 

The site is designated as “Highway Commercial Area” in the CDP’s Land Use Plan (Schedule 1).  The objective of the “Highway Commercial Area” is to reserve land for uses that attract and serve passing traffic and require direct access to arterial roads. 

 

The proposed amendment does not offend the intent of the designation as the rezoning is for a conveyance of land to an existing cemetery.

 

Zoning By-law

 

The site is zoned RC9, which accommodates a range of highway commercial uses for the Carp Road Corridor.

 

 

 

The proposed zoning (RI6) permits the use of a cemetery.  Currently the land is vacant; however the land was conveyed to the existing Huntley Presbyterian Cemetery in order for the cemetery to expand.  With the land conveyance, the cemetery will continue to meet the required RI6 zone provisions.

 

RURAL IMPLICATIONS

 

The subject land will be used for the expansion of the existing Huntley Presbyterian Cemetery and there will be no rural implications.
