PD- 2011 -76 - Chief Administrative Officer -AM- 2011 -007, Zoning By -law Amendment
Application. Applicant: City of Niagara Falls. General Amendments to Zoning By -law
No. 79 -200.
The Director of Planning and Development review the recommendation and provided
a brief presentation.
Background
The amendments are of a housekeeping nature and are intended to bring greater clarity
to the City's comprehensive zoning by -law.
Several of the changes are intended to reflect trends in development and planning.
• regulations for drive - throughs;
► the introduction of an Environmental Protection zone to protect natural areas; and,
• the introduction of a Residential Single Family 1F density (R1 F) zone to provide
regulations for compact development.
-4- Council Minutes
October 24, 2011
Neighbourhood Open House
A neighbourhood open house was held on September 21,2011
Two members of the public attended.
Planning Analysis
1. Introduce Zoning Standards for drive through facilities
Drive through facilities have become a standard accessory feature to many fast food
restaurants and are increasingly accessory to other uses, such as banks and convenience
stores.
Other municipalities require between 10 -15 vehicle queuing spaces for a drive through
associated with a restaurant and 2 -5 spaces for a drive through associated with other uses.
A 10 -30 m setback between the drive through lane and a residential zone.
Recommended that drive- ihroughs be permitted in all commercial zones except
Neighbourhood Commercial (NC) and Central Business Commercial (CB).
NC zones are typically integrated into residential areas and have limited room for queuing
and buffering, and have the potential to adversely impact nearby residences.
CB zones are intended to serve a pedestrian function.
Recommended standards:
■ Require a minimum of 12 queuing spaces for a drive through accessory to a fast food
restaurant.
► Require a minimum of 3 queuing spaces for a drive through accessory to other uses;
■ Require a minimum setback of 10 m from a residential zone boundary.
Staff investigated use of restrictive covenants and found that they are inflexible and do not
have a formal procedure for amending and varying them.
2. Eliminate restrictions on number of motor vehicles that can be parked in a
private garage.
■ Size of private garages is more effectively governed by lot coverage and
driveway /surface parking
3. Remove Prohibition on dwelling units in cellars
► By -law prohibits dwelling units or habitable rooms in cellars.
► Safety of residents occupying habitable space in a cellar is now effectively governed
by the Ontario Building Code.
► Second dwelling units can be located in the cellar, if the zoning permits 2 units.
4. Remove separation distances between group homes.
Group homes provide housing for those who require a group living environment due to their
intellectual, mental health, social or physical condition or legal status.
Group homes are subject to a 350 m. separation distance between one another.
Such separation distances have been challenged as a human rights violation.
The separation distance is to be deleted.
5. Reduce side yard setbacks for 2 storey single, semi - detached and duplex
dwellings to 1.2m.
-5- Council Minutes
October 24, 2011
• Currently, 2 storey dwellings are required to have an interior side yard setback of 1.8
m.
• If the dwelling was constructed as a 1.5 storey or split level design, the side yard
setback would be 1.2 m.
• It is recommended that 2 storey dwellings have the same interior side yard setback
• A sufficient separation between dwellings on adjacent Tots will mitigate any impacts.
6. Introduce a R1 F zone
• Developers requesting zones with smaller lot frontages and lot areas.
• A new Residential Single Family 1F Density (R1 F) zone be introduced into the By -law
with the following standards:
► Minimum lot area: 320 sq m
► Minimum lot frontage: 10 m
► Minimum front yard depth of 3 m. for dwelling and 6 m for garage;
► Minimum side yard width: 0.9 m
► Minimum lot coverage: 45%
► Minimum width of a driveway: 55% of the lot frontage
7. Clarify Landscaped open space provisions for PI, LI and TDI zones and front
yard parking
The current provisions are written in a confusing and unclear way.
The provisions are not proposed to be changed, but the following wording is recommended
to clarify the requirements:
• For an interior lot 67% of the required front yard
• For a corner lot 67% of the required front yard & 67% of the required
exterior side yard.
8. Eliminate minimum floor area for all dwellings
• The Ontario Building Code (OBC) regulates the size of dwelling units.
9. Add on Environmental Protection Area (EPA) zone
• To reflect the recently adopted Official Plan policies to protect the natural heritage.
• The EPA zone is intended to be available for use in future applications
10. Parking for factories and warehouses
• Currently, 1 space per 90 sq m of floor area or for each 4 employees whichever is
greater.
• Not practical to calculate parking based in a variable work force.
• Parking for these uses will be calculated solely on the basis of 1 space per 90 sq m of
floor area.
11. Clarify provisions with respect to retail storage
• Retail stores are required to have one parking space per 18-25 sq m of gross Ieaseable
floor area
• Storage area should use the same parking ratio as warehouses ( 1 sp /90 sq m of floor
area)
12. Introduction of retail (convenience) stores in the Automotive Service Station
• Convenience stores have become a common accessory use to most gas bars or service
stations.
• Stores range in size from 110 sq m to approx. 200 sq m.
-6- Council Minutes
October 24, 2011
• Limiting these retail stores to 200 sq m in size will recognize the small scale of these
uses
13. Height restrictions in the Agricultural (A) zone.
• No height restrictions in the Agricultural zone.
• Recommended that the standard applied to dwellings and accessory buildings and
structures in residential zones be extended to the A zone.
• Detached dwellings are to be restricted to a height of 10 m and accessory buildings and
structures are restricted to a height of 4.6 m.
14. Standards for gasoline bars in Tourist Commercial (TC) zones.
• To ensure Automobile service stations in the TC zone comply with the same
development standards in the AS zone.
15. Replacement of a legal non - conforming building
• Legal non - conforming buildings and structures can be strengthened or restored to a safe
condition.
• Recommend that these provisions be amended to permit the rebuilding of a legal non-
conforming building or structure, provided the footprint or dimensions of the building or
structure do not change.
16. Removal of fencing standards from general provisions
• Standards are contained in the City's Fence By -law (No. 2005 -70) so should be
removed due to duplication.
• However, maintain the provisions for a fence where non - residential uses abut residential
properties and increase the maximum height to 1.8 m (6 ft).
17. Removal of TV dish antennae standards from general provisions
• Provisions were adopted in 1982, when satellite dishes were relatively large.
• Technological advances have significantly reduced the size of a dish, now may be
unobtrusive and common place, so no longer necessary to control these devices
18. Replace the term veterinarian office with the term animal clinic
• Permitted in the Neighbourhood Commercial (NC), General Commercial (GC), Planning
Shopping Centre Commercial (SC), Central Business Commercial (CB) and General
Industrial (GI) zones.
• "Animal Clinic" means a building or structure or part thereof under the control and
supervision of a qualified veterinarian who is a member of the Ontario Veterinarian
Association, where animals or birds are given treatment, but does not include outdoor
kennels.
Conclusion
Staff is initiating a number of amendments to Zoning By -law No. 79 -200 in response to
development trends.
Recommendation
That Council approve the updates to the regulations of Zoning By -law No. 79 -200 as
outlined in this report.
Victor Labreche, Senior Principal, Labreche, Patterson & Associates, expressed some
of the things his clients see as a concern. Mr. Labreche was not objecting the drive thru set
