PBD-2016-27 AM-2016-006, Zoning By-law Amendment Application 9042 Netherby Road Applicant: Gary Davison, Davison Farms Limited Proposal: Agricultural Purposes Only Zoning Background Material: • Zoning By-law amendment for lands known as 9042 Netherby Road having an area of 7.28 ha. • Lands are designated Good General Agricultural. • Lands are zoned for agricultural purposes and an associated residence. • Humberstone By-law (70-69). Community Open House: • May 12, 2016 — None of the property owners attended the meeting. Planning Analysis: Provincial Policy Statement • Prime agricultural lands are to be protected for long term agricultural use. • Consents can only be permitted to separate residence surplus to farming operation. • Rezoning Part 2 for agricultural purposes complies with Provincial Policies. Official Plan - Lands designated Good General Agriculture • Part 1 is 0.4 hectares, sufficient to accommodate existing dwelling & septic bed. Lot size is minimized so active agricultural lands are not lost. • Rezoning Part 2 (farm parcel) for agricultural purposes only, will ensure 3 Council Minutes June 14, 2016 preservation of agricultural land. Zoning By-law Regulations Standards Proposed Minimum Lot Area 10.12 hectares 0.4 hectares Residence (Dwelling) Permitted only with agricultural use Permitted Conclusion: Amendment recommended • Compliance with Provincial Policies & Regional Policy Plan. • Complies with Official Plan. • Protect the farm lands. Recommendation: • Council approve the Zoning By-law amendment application to restrict the use of Part 2 for agricultural purposes. • Establish Site specific regulations for Part 1 thereby facilitating the severance of Part 1.

Carried Unanimously PBD-2016-26 AM-2016-007, Zoning By-law Amendment Application 6158-6170 Stanley Avenue, 6158 Allendale Avenue and 6220 Stanley Avenue Applicant: Canop Investments Inc. Agent: Rocco Vacca, Sullivan Mahoney LLP Proposal: Extension of Site Specific Tourist Commercial Zone and Removal of Off-Site Parking Permission Background: • Zoning By-law amendment for 3 properties totaling 0.37 ha (2.1 ac) • Lands are zoned Tourist Commercial with site specific provisions to permit the hotel and provide off-site parking • Proposing to consolidate 2 properties, provide all parking on-site, thereby removing off-site parking provision. Community Open House: • May 11, 2016 — No residents attended Planning Analysis: Official Plan — Hotel remains in conformity to OP • Design guidelines discourage off-site parking for hotels. • Removal of off-site parking and incorporating the parking on-site conforms with OP and related design guidelines. Zoning By-law • Current zoning for Parcels 1 & 2 permit a portion of the required parking from Parcel 1 to be located on Parcel 2. • Parcel 3 is not currently linked to Parcel 1 by zoning. 4 Council Minutes June 14, 2016 • Proposed zoning changes are appropriate as follows: • Extension of TC-914 over Parcel 3 will allow required parking on the contiguous lands. • This zoning change eliminates the need for off-site parking and associated traffic. • Elimination of TC-915 zone from Parcel 2 will remove the linkage with Parcel 1 and allow Parcel 2 to be used or developed independently from Parcel 1. Section 37 Agreement • Tourist Commercial policies require that approvals for any building greater than 4 storeys be subject to an agreement under s. 37 of the Planning Act to secure streetscape improvements in exchange for height increases. • Release s. 37 Agreement because no change in building height permission is currently requested and all contributions under the agreement have been collected. Site Plan Agreement • Parcels 1 & 2 are subject to a site plan agreement that was executed in 2010. • As parcel 2 will no longer be required for parking for Parcel 1, and Parcel 1 is being expanded to include Parcel 3, site plan agreement will need to be amended to reflect these changes. Conclusion: Amendment recommended. • Removal of off-site parking permission and consolidation of required parking on the expanded hotel site is in keeping with OP policies and related design guidelines. • Encourages required parking to be provided on-site. Recommendation: • Council approve the Zoning By-law amendment application to rezone 6158 Allendale Ave from site specific Tourist Commercial (TC-915) to Tourist Commercial and to extend the site specific Tourist Commercial (TC-914) zone that applies to 6158-6170 Stanley Ave southward over 6220 Stanley Ave. • That Council pass related amending zoning by-law on tonight's agenda.

Community Open House: May 9, 2016 — 2 Residents No significant concerns: • Wanted assurances that PSW south of Brown Rd was not going to be disturbed. • One letter received from local land owner asking that the corridor not be rezoned from EPA-848 as it was her belief that this formed an important wildlife linkage to Heartland forest and the Welland River. Applicant's Responses to Concerns: • The lands along Warren Creek and are not being affected by the proposed amendments. Planning Analysis: Provincial and Regional Policies • Located within a Settlement Area under the PPS and within the Greenfield Area under the Growth Plan. • Business Park is located within the Urban Area of the City under the Region's Official Plan and has been designated as part of the Niagara Economic Gateway Zone. • "Park is to capitalize on long-term opportunities for business and services .... Focusing on manufacturing, warehousing and other employment land uses. • Region's Core Natural Heritage map identifies a Significant Woodland and a potential Natural Heritage Corridor in the area of the natural corridor that is proposed to be rezoned for industrial uses. • Trees in the area have been cleared by the City and thus the area no longer meets the criteria of a Significant Woodland. • NPCA recommend that an EIS be prepared to investigate the impact of removing the corridor, but City can waive this study in consultation with Region and NPCA. City Policies • In 2012, Garner South Secondary Plan was adopted by Council; • This plan designates the developable portion of the business park, including the former natural corridor, as Employment. • No concerns expressed by Region or NPCA at the time of their review with respect to the removal of the EPA natural corridor. • Proposal to add a restaurant as a permitted use will serve future industrial development. 6 Council Minutes June 14, 2016 Zoning By-law • Rezoning of corridor from EPA to PI will conform to the OP designation of Industrial. • The PI zone will be consistent with the zoning of the abutting properties. • Reducing minimum lot frontage from 60 m to 50 m will correspond to the small sized lot in the Business Park. • Addition of restaurant use will service current and future employees working in the area. • Provides a balanced approach between natural protection and economic return. Conclusion: Amendment Recommended: • Development of the Montrose Business Park is promoted by Provincial/Regional Policies as a Strategic Location for Investment. • Business Park is designated Industrial for employment in the City's OP. • Warren Creek and its associated wetlands will remain zoned EPA. • The former natural corridor is not designated for protection. • Trees in the corridor were removed in preparation for the Business Park development and lands no longer meet criteria as a Significant Woodlot. • City can waive requirements for an EIS to be completed. • 50 m (164 ft.) reflects the minimum lot frontage desired. • Adding a restaurant as use will assist development within the park. Recommendation: • Council approve the Zoning By-law amendments to rezone a former natural corridor from site specific EPA (EPA-848) to Prestige Industrial (PI-849); reduce the minimum lot frontage requirements of PI-849 & PI-850 from 60 m to 50 m and add a restaurant to the list of permitted uses in these zones; and • Council pass the amending by-law appearing in tonight's agenda to implement the amendments. John Beam, a Montrose Road resident, wanted preservation of the natural environment. He noted the wildlife in the vicinity, which would be eliminated with clear cutting of trees. He also did not think a restaurant was appropriate. The Public Meeting was Closed.
