Resolution & Public Meeting Statement Resolution No. 2021-14-03
Minutes of Council April, 6, 2021 Moved by Councillor Barr Seconded by Councillor Sutherland That a public meeting be held to allow for input on Zoning By-law Amendment application Z-21-04, 984 Leland Road. Carried b)
Zoning By-law Amendment Z-21-04 - 984 Leland Road (Clifford Green) Christine Woods, Planner reviewed the agenda for the public meeting and the background on this application. The subject property is 40.4 hectares (100 acres) in area and it has approximately 385 metres of combined frontage on Leland Road and Dean Smith Road. The lands consist of forest and farmland. The property contains a primary dwelling and a residential garden suite. The primary dwelling is located on the west side of the property and is accessed from Leland Road. The proposal is to rezone the property from Rural (RU) to Rural - Special Provision (RU-XX) to permit a secondary dwelling and garden suite on the property. The existing dwelling and the secondary dwelling unit would share a driveway, well and sewage system. The Owner acknowledges that a new sewage system would be required to service both the existing dwelling and the secondary dwelling unit. The existing primary dwelling is one storey with a partially raised basement, and 81 square metres (880 square feet) in area. The Owner proposes to enlarge the existing primary dwelling by 33 square metres (360 square feet) to add an accessible bathroom and bedroom. The proposed addition for the secondary dwelling unit is two storeys in height with no basement. It is proposed to have a similar roofline to the existing dwelling. The secondary dwelling unit would have a gross floor area of 167.2 square metres (1800 square feet). The gross floor area (total floor area of all storeys) of the primary dwelling is proposed to increase from 81 square metres (880 square feet) to 281.2 square metres (3027 square feet) to accommodate the changes to the primary dwelling unit and to add the secondary dwelling unit. The Owner may also add a 53.5 square metre (576 square foot) attached garage to the dwelling. The Building Department was advised of this application, and has no objections to the application as presented and will review the detailed building plans through the Building Permit process, should the application be approved. The application is consistent with this direction of the Provincial Policy Statement and the amendments to the Planning Act and consistent with the intent of the direction of the County Official Plan. With resect to the Township’s zoning by-law, the existing garden suite was permitted by the Committee of Adjustment of the former Loughborough Township in 1985. The garden suite has been occupied as a dwelling since that time. It is serviced by its own driveway on a maintained public road, a well and a sewage system. The garden suite meets the setbacks required in the Rural zone. It is the opinion of staff that it would be appropriate to legally recognize the use of the garden suite on the property as part of the zoning by-law amendment as it is a use contemplated by the Planning Act. The draft by-law refers to the garden suite as an additional dwelling unit in an ancillary building. The proposed zoning by-law amendment would help the Township to achieve its goal to encourage residential development which is affordable, of high quality and capable of meeting the changing and diverse needs of the rural community. It is also consistent with the Planning Act and the direction provided from the PPS. There were no comments from Council or members of the public.
