Zoning By-law Amendment Application PL-ZBA-2024-0014, Deroche, 1048 Shallow Lane, Loughborough District

Report Number:

2024-070

Summary This report provides Council with information about Zoning By-law Amendment Application PL-ZBA-2024-0014 for a property municipally known as 1048 Shallow Lane. Recommendation That By-law 2024-34 being a By-law to amend By-law 2003-75, as amended, to rezone lands from Limited Service Residential - Waterfront (RLSW) zone to Limited Service Residential – Special Provision (RLS-16) zone and Limited Service Residential – Waterfront – Special Provision (RLSW-142) zone on lands civically addressed as 1048 Shallow Lane, be given first and second reading; and That By-law 2024-34 be given third reading, signed and sealed. Background The subject application is related to consent application PL-BDJ-2023-0103 for the creation of one new residential lot. The consent application was provisionally approved by the Committee of Adjustment on November 9, 2023. The purpose of the rezoning application is to implement a condition that requires the severed and retained parcels to be rezoned. This change would acknowledge that the severed parcel would not have frontage on Sydenham Lake and would permit the severed parcel to have 20m of frontage on Shallow Lane. Further, the change would permit the retained parcel to have 0m of frontage on a private laneway. Property Description The subject property is a total of 4.5Ac located north of Rutledge Road, on the southern bay of Sydenham Lake. The total frontage is 20m on Shallow Lane, and approximately 23m on Sydenham Lake. Mozart Lane and Dusty Lane run over the east half of the property. The west side of the subject property (the severed parcel) is developed with a four-season dwelling accessed from Rutledge Road over Shallow Lane. Further, the west side of the property is maintained as a lawn and is mostly cleared of trees. The east side of the subject property (the retained parcel) is developed with a seasonal dwelling accessed from Rutledge www.southfrontenac.net South Frontenac is a welcoming and thriving rural community.

Road over Sailors Cove Lane and Mozart Lane. The east side of the property is densely covered in mature vegetation and slopes steeply towards the shoreline. Finally, the surrounding area is densely developed and consists of similar limited service residential and limited service residential waterfront uses. Department and Agency Comments Building Services and Public Services were not circulated on the original consent application nor the zoning amendment application due to the nature of the proposal. Cataraqui Conservation had no objection to the consent application or the zoning amendment application. Public Comments No comments were received from the public at the time of writing this report. Discussion/Analysis The proposed zoning by-law amendment was assessed against the applicable policies of the Provincial Policy Statement 2020, County of Frontenac Official Plan, and Township of South Frontenac Official Plan, as well as the provisions of Zoning By-law No. 2003-75. The Committee of Adjustment had consideration for these planning documents in the decision to grant provisional approval to the consent application. The Provincial Policy Statement (Section 1.1.5) and the County of Frontenac Official Plan (Section 3.3) permit residential development, which are locally appropriate, in rural lands. The County Official Plan and the Township Official Plan also permit residential development in the Rural Designation. The general consent policies of the Township Official Plan (Section 7.1) permit severances on land holdings with more than one detached dwelling in existence at the time of adoption of the Plan. Section 5.7.7(ii)(a) of the Township Official Plan states that the frontage, size, and shape of any lot created for limited service residential purposes through the severance approval process shall be appropriate for the proposed use and shall conform with the provision of the Zoning By-law. New waterfront lots must have a minimum 2.5Ac lot size, 91m of water frontage, and 76m of frontage on a private road. New non-waterfront lots must have a minimum 2Ac lot size, and 76m of frontage on a private road. This policy allows the Township to consider reductions to minimum lot size and frontage requirements provided the overall intent of the Official Plan is maintained. The severed parcel from consent application PL-BDJ-2023-0103 would have 2Ac of area, and 20m of frontage on Shallow Lane. The zone needs to be changed from RLSW to RLS16 to acknowledge that the parcel would only have frontage and access from a private laneway. Also, to reflect that the severed parcel would have 20m of frontage on Shallow Lane, whereas a minimum of 76m is required. The reduced frontage is a reflection of the subject property’s existing conditions and cannot be increased. Further, the reduced frontage would not impact the ability of the severed parcel to be used or redeveloped. Therefore, www.southfrontenac.net South Frontenac is a welcoming and thriving rural community.

Township of South Frontenac Staff Report Number: 2024-070

Page 44 of 89

Township Planning Staff interpret the reduced frontage on Shallow Lane as appropriate for the proposed use, and that the overall intent and purpose of the Official Plan is maintained. The retained parcel from consent application PL-BDJ-2023-0103 would have 2.5Ac of area, approximately 23m of frontage on Sydenham Lake, and 0m of frontage on a private road. The zone needs to be changed from RLSW to RLSW-142 to acknowledge that the parcel would have 0m of frontage on a private road. The Zoning By-law requires a minimum of 76m of frontage on a private laneway for new RLSW lots. Planning Staff interpret the lack of frontage as appropriate because this portion of the subject property has and will continue to be accessed from Sailors Cove Lane and Mozart Lane. Mozart Lane and Dusty Lane do extend through the middle of the retained lands but would not constitute the definition of frontage in the Zoning By-law. The lack of frontage would not impact the ability of the retained parcel to be used or redeveloped. Therefore, Township Planning staff interpret the lack of frontage on a private road as appropriate for the proposed use, and the overall intent and purpose of the Official Plan is maintained. The 23m of frontage on Sydenham Lake is less than the 76m required by the Zoning By-law. However, this waterfrontage is reflective of the existing conditions of the property and cannot be increased. For this reason, the 23m of waterfrontage does not need to be acknowledged as part of this rezoning. Conclusion It is the opinion of Township Planning Staff that the proposed Zoning By-law Amendment is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement 2020, in conformity with the Frontenac County Official Plan and Township of South Frontenac Official Plan and represents good planning for the subject lands. Staff recommend that Council pass a by-law during the Council meeting in which the public meeting is held, per procedural By-law as Amended by By-law 2023-44, as the planning matter is technical in nature. Specifically, the Committee of Adjustment had consideration for all applicable policies in the decision to grant provisional approval to the consent application, and the by-law will fulfill one of their conditions.

Report Number:

2024-071

Summary This report provides Council with information about Zoning By-law Amendment Application PL-ZBA-2024-0033 for 3863 Battersea Road. Recommendation THAT By-law 2024-35 and By-law 2024-36 to amend the zoning on lands municipally known as 3863 Battersea Road, Part of Lots 25 and 26, Concession 2, District of Storrington, Township of South Frontenac be given first and second reading; and That By-law 2024-35 and By-law 2024-36 be given third reading, signed and sealed. Background Frontenac County Council granted draft plan approval of the Sunbury Subdivision (file 10T2020/001) on May 17, 2023. The County had consideration for Township Council’s recommendation of support and proposed conditions. The Township staff report and attachments related to Council’s recommendation can be accessed through the Township’s Civicweb portal: https://southfrontenac.civicweb.net/Portal/MeetingInformation.aspx?Org=Cal&Id=682 The plan of subdivision is located within the settlement area of Sunbury, west of Battersea Road at Sunbury Road. The subject lands consist of cultivated fields and a forested area. There is a wetland and a watercourse/drainage ditch in the southern half of the property. There is another wetland in the northeast corner of the property. About two thirds of the lands drain south towards Sunbury Road, the other one third drains north towards the second wetland. The property is developed with a single detached dwelling. The subdivision consists of 31 lots which would be developed with single-detached dwellings to be serviced by individual on-site wells and sewage systems. The lots range in area from 0.6 hectares to 3.3 hectares, with road frontage on a new internal road ranging from 44.7 metres to 167.2 metres. The subdivision also includes four blocks for the purpose of drainage and/or park access. www.southfrontenac.net South Frontenac is a welcoming and thriving rural community.

Township of South Frontenac Staff Report Number: 2024-71

Page 50 of 89

The purpose of the rezoning application is to establish zoning for the subdivision. This would help to fulfill three conditions of draft plan approval. The first relates to imposing zoning holding provisions to ensure orderly development of the subdivision. The second relates to capturing zoning parameters for additional dwelling units based on hydrogeological assessment and terrain analysis. The third relates to confirming compliance with the Zoning By-law. The proposed site-specific UR1-27-H zone would permit a minimum 6000 square metre lot area and a minimum 45 metre lot frontage. A minimum 15 metre building setback would be required from the watercourse on the property. The holding (-H) symbol on the zone would require a hydrogeological assessment to demonstrate that a lot has both an adequate supply of potable water and adequate nitrate quantities before one or more additional dwelling units would be allowed. The holding (-H) symbol would be partially removed through a second by-law to allow one additional dwelling unit on each of Lots 1, 14, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21 and 22 based on the findings of a satisfactory hydrogeological assessment. Under the Planning Act, a public meeting is required to be held to receive comments from the public on the proposed rezoning. Application and Supporting Documents The application and supporting documents can be accessed through the Township’s CivicWeb Document Center, https://southfrontenac.civicweb.net/filepro/documents/90083/ Planning Demonstration Report A Planning Demonstration Report (Fotenn Planning + Design, April 6, 2020) was submitted in support of the application for draft plan of subdivision and the application for zoning bylaw amendment to assess the appropriateness of the proposal in the context of the surrounding area, and its conformity with the applicable policy and regulatory framework. A Cover Letter (Fotenn Planning + Design, March 1, 2024) was submitted to explain revisions to the application for zoning by-law amendment that were required to fulfill conditions of draft plan approval. Stormwater Management Report The Preliminary Stormwater Management Report for the subdivision (Forefront Engineering Inc., October 2021) includes a section about realigning the watercourse on the property. The report’s hydrologic and hydraulic analysis demonstrated that 100 year flows should be contained within the new watercourse channel. This analysis supports, from a flooding hazard perspective, reducing the required setback for buildings and structures from the watercourse, from 30 metres to 15 metres. Environmental Impact Assessment Addendum www.southfrontenac.net South Frontenac is a welcoming and thriving rural community.

Township of South Frontenac Staff Report Number: 2024-71

An Addendum (Ecological Services, November 4, 2021) to previous Environmental Impact Assessments and Addendums was issued to support the requested 15 metre setback from the watercourse from an ecological perspective. The consultant suggested that the watercourse lacked ecological value because it is often dry, it does not contain fish and turtle habitat nor significant wildlife habitat, and it has minimal ecological potential as a linkage area. Hydrogeological Assessment The reduced lot sizes and frontages were supported through hydrogeological assessments for the subdivision. An additional Limited Hydrogeological Assessment (BluMetric Environmental, November 30, 2023) and a Water Supply Assessment (BluMetric Environmental, March 1, 2024) were submitted for the rezoning application. The purpose of these two studies was to address if and how additional dwelling units would be accommodated within the subdivision based on the outcome of a 2022 nitrate assessment. The two studies demonstrated that there would be an adequate supply of potable water and adequate nitrate quantities to allow one additional dwelling unit on each of nine lots (Lots 1, 14, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21 and 22). The studies also confirmed that further investigation will be needed if a second additional dwelling unit were to be proposed on any of these nine lots, and for any additional dwelling units on the other lots. The subdivision agreement will include further direction on this topic. Department and Agency Comments Public Services indicated that they have no concerns with the zoning request as it relates to traffic and drainage. They indicated that nine additional dwelling units would not have a tangible impact on the traffic study findings for the subdivision. Cataraqui Conservation indicated that they have no concerns with the proposed 15 metre setback from the realigned watercourse. However, in order to protect new development from the impacts of flooding and to ensure that the hydrologic function of the surface water features is protected, they recommended that the watercourse and lands within 15 metres of the watercourse be rezoned to Environmental Protection (EP). They also recommended that the northern and southern wetlands and the lands within 30 metres of the wetland boundaries be rezoned to EP. Public Comments No comments were received on the rezoning application at the time this report was written. Planning Analysis The proposed zoning by-law amendment was assessed against the applicable policies of the Provincial Policy Statement 2020, County of Frontenac Official Plan, and Township of South Frontenac Official Plan, as well as the provisions of Zoning By-law No. 2003-75. Rural Settlement Areas www.southfrontenac.net South Frontenac is a welcoming and thriving rural community.

The Provincial Policy Statement 2020 (PPS) states that rural settlement areas, such as Sunbury, shall be the focus of growth and development and their vitality and regeneration shall be promoted. The PPS also states that planning authorities must consider rural characteristics, the scale of development and the provision of appropriate service levels when directing development in rural settlement areas. The County of Frontenac Official Plan supports the PPS policies, encouraging the Township to promote mixed use development including residential, commercial, institutional, parks and employment areas (section 3.2). The Township of South Frontenac Official Plan also intends that a majority of new growth will be directed to existing settlement areas where it can be supported by appropriate servicing (section 5.6). The draft plan approved Sunbury Subdivision implements these policies. Section 5.6.1 Township Official Plan states that the minimum lot area for lots in a Settlement Area shall not be less than 0.8 hectares (2 acres) when serviced by a private well and private sanitary sewage system. The Official Plan does not contain minimum lot frontage requirements for residential lots in a settlement area. The General Policies for Plans of Subdivision (7.2(d)) specify that new subdivision lots must comply with the minimum lot area and frontage requirements unless it is demonstrated through the subdivision process that reductions to these minimums are justified based on good land use planning principles. The lots range in area from 0.6 hectares to 3.3 hectares. The majority of the lots (21) will comply with the 0.8 hectare area requirement. Ten of the lots would be less than 0.8 hectares in area. Frontage of the lots range from 44.7 metres to 167.2 metres. The hydrogeological assessments for the subdivision support the requested reductions in lot area and frontage. The studies determined that all the lots would have sufficient area so that a private well for water supply can be located without danger of contamination by the sewage system and so that a serious draw down of groundwater levels beyond the boundaries of the lot itself can be avoided. The County and Township were satisfied with these studies and their findings. Additional Dwelling Units The Limited Hydrogeological Assessment (BluMetric Environmental, November 30, 2023) and a Water Supply Assessment (BluMetric Environmental, March 1, 2024) demonstrated that there would be an adequate supply of potable water and adequate nitrate quantities to allow one additional dwelling unit on each of nine lots (Lots 1, 14, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21 and 22). The studies also confirmed that further investigation will be needed if a second additional dwelling unit were to be proposed on any of these nine lots, and for any additional dwelling units on the other lots. The proposed by-law would place a holding (-H) symbol on the zone for additional dwelling units. The study requirements for removing the holding symbol would be more rigorous www.southfrontenac.net South Frontenac is a welcoming and thriving rural community.

than those that the Zoning By-law require for additional dwelling units in the Township. The reason for this is that the additional nutrient inputs from more units/occupants could cause the nitrate concentrations in the groundwater under some areas of the subdivision to exceed provincial standards. High nitrate concentrations can cause health issues. The subdivision agreement may include further restrictions on additional dwelling units that cannot be regulated through the Zoning By-law, such as limiting the number of occupants of the additional dwelling unit (this is based on the assessments that were completed). The subdivision agreement may also provide direction on studies required to change the number of occupants, etc. A second by-law would partially remove the holding symbol to allow one additional dwelling unit on nine of the lots because the hydrogeological assessments demonstrated that these lots have both an adequate supply of potable water and adequate nitrate quantities. Township staff will track applications for additional dwelling units to understand how many are approved and where they are located. Environmental Protection Section 2.1 of the PPS indicates that the diversity and connectivity of natural features in an area, and the long-term ecological function and biodiversity of natural heritage systems, should be maintained, restored or, or improved. This is echoed in the County Official Plan and the Township Official Plan. The EIA and EIA Addendum demonstrate that the proposed development would not have a negative impact on natural heritage features and areas. There is a wetland on Lot 1. There is also a wetland in the northeast corner of the subject property at the rear of Lots 20 to 23. All buildings and structures on these lots will need to be setback a minimum of 30 metres from the wetland. Further restrictions (e.g. no site clearing and tree clearing within 30 metres of the wetland) would be noted in the required subdivision agreement which would be registered on the title of these lots.

The proposed by-law would require buildings and structures to be setback a minimum of 15 metres from the watercourse, instead of 30 metres. The reduction was supported by a hydrological and hydraulic analysis (re: flooding hazards) and an environmental impact assessment, as described above. Cataraqui Conservation recommended that the watercourse and lands within 15 metres of the watercourse be rezoned to Environmental Protection (EP), and that the northern and southern wetlands and the lands within 30 metres of the wetland boundaries be rezoned to EP. This would be to protect new development from the impacts of flooding and to ensure that the hydrologic function of the surface water features is protected. Planning staff considered this request, and did not include it in the proposed by-law because the required setbacks are intended to provide this protection. Also, the Zoning By-law contains a general provision that requires a 30 metre setback from an EP zone, which would have the effect of sterilizing several of the lots or requiring further Planning Act approvals (e.g. minor variance) for development. This would be contrary to the intent of the application. www.southfrontenac.net South Frontenac is a welcoming and thriving rural community.

Conclusion It is the opinion of staff that the proposed zoning by-law amendment is consistent and conforms to the Provincial Policy Statement 2020, the County of Frontenac Official Plan, and the Township of South Frontenac Official Plan. It also represents good planning for the subject lands. Staff are recommending that Council pass two by-laws during the Council meeting in which the public meeting is held, per Procedural By-law as Amended by By-law 2023-44, as the planning matter is technical in nature. Specifically, the first by-law, for the UR1-27-H zone, will help to fulfill three of the conditions of draft plan of subdivision approval. The second by-law, to partially remove the holding (-H) symbol, would clear the way for additional dwelling units on nine of the lots. Financial Implications Not applicable.

Report Number:

2024-072

Summary This report provides Council with information about Zoning By-law Amendment Application PL-ZBA-2024-0034 for the property with Assessment Roll Number 102901002017103 on Bradshaw Road. Recommendation That By-law 2024-37 to amend the zoning on lands with Assessment Roll Number 102901002017103, Part of Lot 27, Concession 2, District of Bedford, Township of South Frontenac be given first and second reading; and That By-law 2024-37 be given third reading, signed and sealed. Background The subject application is related to consent application S-36-21-B for the creation of a 10acre rural residential lot. The consent application was approved subject to conditions by a former Director of Development Services on August 19, 2022. The purpose of the rezoning application is to fulfill a condition that requires the severed parcel to be rezoned to require buildings and structures to be set back a minimum 30 metres from a railway right-of-way where a minimum 2.5 metre high landscaped berm is provided along the lot line adjacent to the right-of-way, and to require a 1.83 metre high chain link security fence. Under the Planning Act, a public meeting is required to be held to receive comments from the public on the proposed rezoning. The subject property is located to the east of the intersection of Bobs Lake Road and Bradshaw Road, on the north side of Bradshaw Road. The lot borders a Canadian Pacific (CP) rail line to the west. The rail line consists of a single main line track used for transporting freight and intermodal rail traffic. The lands to the north and east of the property are Crown lands that are zoned Open Space. www.southfrontenac.net South Frontenac is a welcoming and thriving rural community.

The subject property consists predominately of forested areas, open grassy areas with rock outcrops throughout. There are several watercourses and two waterbodies on the subject property. Application and Supporting Documents

The application and supporting documents can be accessed through the Township’s CivicWeb Document Center, https://southfrontenac.civicweb.net/filepro/documents/90083/ Planning Justification Report A Planning Justification Report (Fotenn Planning + Design, March 13, 2024) was submitted to assess the appropriateness of the conditionally approved severance and the proposed by-law amendment in the context of the surrounding area, and its conformity with the applicable policy and regulatory framework. Rail Adjacent Development Review A Rail Adjacent Development Review (Jamie Kennedy, April 1, 2022) was submitted with the consent application. The report reviewed the proposed severance against the most recent industry guidelines for new development in proximity to rail operations (Federation of Canadian Municipalities and Railway Association of Canada (FCM/RAC) Guidelines (May 2013)). It focused on rail safety and development viability (e.g. noise and vibration). The report concluded that the standard mitigation measures defined by the FCM/RAC Guidelines are appropriate for the site. The report included recommendations for future development on the severed parcel. The proposed by-law will implement the recommended building setback, as well as berm and fence requirements. A development agreement will be used to implement other recommendations including berm and fence maintenance requirements, and potential need for additional studies. The agreement will also include a warning clause about the railway requested by CP. Department and Agency Comments

Public Services, Building Services and Rideau Valley Conservation Authority were not circulated the rezoning application as they had no objection to the approval of the consent application. Public Comments

No comments were received at the time this report was written.

Planning Analysis The proposed zoning by-law amendment was assessed against the applicable policies of the Provincial Policy Statement 2020, County of Frontenac Official Plan, and Township of South Frontenac Official Plan, as well as the provisions of Zoning By-law No. 2003-75. The former Director of Development Services had consideration for these planning documents in the decision to grant provisional approval to the consent applications. Rural Residential Development The Provincial Policy Statement 2020 (PPS) allows growth and development to be directed to rural lands, including resource-based recreational uses, as well as residential lot creation and development that is compatible with the rural landscape (section 1.1.5). The County of Frontenac Official Plan and the Township of South Frontenac Official Plan also permit residential development in the Rural designation. The severed parcel satisfies the frontage and size requirements of the Rural Residential policies in Section 5.7.4 of the Township Official Plan. The retained parcel also satisfies the applicable Rural policies. Land Use Compatibility The PPS requires land use compatibility to be considered between major facilities (e.g. railway) and sensitive land uses (e.g. residential) (section 1.2.6.1). Residential land uses must be planned and developed to avoid, or if avoidance is not possible, minimize and mitigate any potential adverse effects from odour, noise and other contaminants, minimize risk to public health and safety, and to ensure the long-term operational and economic viability of the railway in accordance with provincial guidelines, standards and procedures. The County Official Plan reinforces the need for development adjacent to transportation corridors to be approved in a way that supports the ongoing use of the transportation corridor without compatibility issues or other potential conflicts. The Township Official Plan includes consideration for compatibility and mitigation. Section 6.9 requires buffering to eliminate or reduce conflict between uses. Section 6.25 requires a noise feasibility study to determine whether the proposal is feasible due to noise levels for any uses within 100 metres of a principal railway mainline. The FCM/RAC Guidelines are meant to assist municipal governments and railways on matters related to land use decisions. The Rail Adjacent Development Review (Jamie Kennedy, April 1, 2022) concluded that the standard mitigation measures defined by the FCM/RAC Guidelines are considered appropriate for the site. These mitigation measures include a minimum 30 metre setback from the lot line adjacent to the railway right-of-way in conjunction with a 2.5 metre high berm, an acoustic fence on the berm, and a chain line security fence along the lot line. www.southfrontenac.net South Frontenac is a welcoming and thriving rural community.
