RECOMME
That a Public
Meeting be held to consider the application submitted by Bairnbriar Holdings Inc. for a Zoning
By-law amendment for Block 26 Plan 65M2108 – McKelvey Drive, Thornhill.
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this report is
to provide preliminary information regarding an application for Zoning By-law
Amendment to permit a portion of a single detached dwelling unit on the
property. It is recommended that a
statutory public meeting be held to consider this application.
BACKGROU
Property and Area Context
The 132 m2 (1325 ft2) site is a remnant parcel (part
lot) from a subdivision created in the 1980’s (65M-2108). The property is a through lot with access to
Adjoining the subject lands are:
·
Low Density Residential (Single and Semi detached) subdivision to the
north, east, and west; and
·
The 132m2
parcel of land is a remnant parcel from
the residential subdivision developed in the 1980’s consisting of single and
semi-detached units with lot frontages ranging between 8.4 metres (27.56 ft) to13.29
metres (43.6 ft). (See figure 2)
Proposal is for the subject Block to be
combined with the parcel to the east
The
applicant is proposing an overall plan to develop 3 single detached units
through severance. The subject land will
be combined with the property to the east.
The severance has been approved by the Committee of Adjustment with
conditions. The approved lots will have individual
lot frontages of approximately 12.7 m (41.66 ft) and lot depths of vary but are
approximately 51 m and will match with the depth of the adjacent parcel.
Official Plan and Thornhill Secondary Plan
The Official
Plan designates the property “Urban Residential”. This designation is further refined by the
Thornhill Secondary Plan to “Low Density Housing”. The proposed development conforms to the
Official Plan in all aspects.
An Amendment to Zoning By-law is also
required
The
subject lands are currently zoned RSD4- Residential Semi-Detached. This zone category permits only a semi-detached
dwelling on the property. However the
block is not large enough to support a building without being consolidated with
the parcel to the east. The current
application is to change the zoning category to single detached residential
(R8), with urban development standards similar to those of the proposed
development immediately east of the block.
POTE
·
The proposed development will complete the
·
Proposed development will utilize land which, on its own, is not large
enough to sustain a dwelling and would therefore remain vacant;
·
Proposal is in keeping with Town’s initiatives regarding compact urban
form and orderly development.
Staff have no concerns with this application.
FI
There are no financial matters to be
considered in this report.
E
A tree preservation plan and tree inventory plan is a condition of the severance.
BUSI
The
application has been circulated to various Town departments and external
agencies and is currently under review.
Requirements of the Town and external agencies will be reflected in the
preparation of the Zoning By-law amendment.
