Recommendation: Receive comments from the public Date Prepared: February 16, 2022 Date of Public Meeting: February 25, 2022 North Frontenac Township Council | Zoning Update to Recreational Vehicles Planning Report Page 1 of 2 Recommendation Under the Planning Act, a public meeting is required to be held to receive comments from citizens on the proposed Zoning By-Law Amendment. Planning staff recommend Council receive public comments for consideration in the review of the zoning by-law as it pertains to Recreational Vehicles. Staff will review the comments received and provide a detailed analysis and recommendation in a final report to Council at a future meeting date. Proposal The Township of North Frontenac is proposing to amend Zoning By-Law Number 55-19 to update sections that regulate Recreational Vehicles. The proposed zoning by-law update will include the following: • Update Definitions related to Recreational Vehicles to provide more clarity. • Amend Section 3.32 Parking Requirement. • Amend Section 3.36 Recreation Vehicles on Individual Lots. • Update the Waterfront Residential (RW), Rural (RU), Limited Service Rural (LSR) and Limited Service Waterfront (LSW) zones to remove Recreational Vehicles as a permitted use. • Update the provisions of the Hamlet (H) and Recreational Commercial (RC) zones to provide clarity regarding Recreation Vehicles within a Tourist Establishment. Dmitry Kurylovich, Land Use Planner, County of Frontenac - Public Inform… Page 3 of 25 Background The Township has initiated a review of Recreational Vehicle (RV) regulations to streamline how RVs are regulated and make the process of locating and understanding all regulations more efficient. RVs are currently regulated by both Zoning By-Law Number 55-19 and Recreational Vehicle By-Law Number 42-20. By-Law Number 42-20 identifies the rules associated with the licensing and placement of RVs, such as required setbacks, servicing, use of additional structures such as decks and enclosures, duration of placement, and fees. Zoning By-Law Number 55-19 identifies the zone in which RVs are permitted, how they are defined, and parking requirements. Through the review of the Recreational Vehicle By-Law, there is an opportunity to consolidate most of the existing zoning regulations with the Recreational Vehicle By-Law. The consolidation of these regulations is intended to reduce the burden associated with understanding how RVs are defined, where they are permitted, and what rules exist regarding their use. Presently, an individual interested in placing an RV on their property is required to identify the zoning of their land, confirm if an RV is permitted within the zone using the Zoning By-Law, and then reference the Recreation Vehicle By-Law to understand all regulations when it comes to the use of an RV. The proposed Zoning By-Law Amendment will remove Recreational Vehicles as a permitted use in the Zoning By-Law and instead rely on the proposed RV By-Law to identify what zones an RV is permitted within. This change will allow interested property owners to gather all RV related information directly from the RV By-Law instead of cross referencing both the RV By- Law and the Zoning By-Law.
