PD- 2007 -97 Chief Administrative Officer AM- 28/2007, Zoning By -law Amendment Application, 6473, 6483, 6513, 6515 and 6525 McLeod Road, Applicant: Felix Pingue and Sons Construction, Permit 3 Additional Dwelling Units in a Building Under Construction on the Lands and Permit a Second 4 Storey, 12 Unit Apartment Building on the Lands. Surrounding Land Uses PLANNING MATTERS Subject lands are surrounded by single detached dwellings with the exception of an apartment building located to the west. The properties immediately to the west, east and south are also zoned TRM. This acts as a holding zone that permits existing development until the lands are approved for multiple residential development Background Applicant has requested an amendment to Zoning Bylaw 79 -200 for a 0.83 ha (2 ac) parcel of property on McLeod Rd. A 4 storey, 57 unit apartment building is under construction on a portion of these lands. In 2000 Council approved a 4 �/2 storey, 16 m (52 ft), 54 unit apartment on these lands, resulting in a density of 80 units /ha (32 u /ac) In 2006, C of A approved a minor variance to increase the number of units from 54 to 57 and to increase the building height to 17m (56 ft). Applicant is now requesting an amendment to the zoning bylaw to permit the following: 3 December 10, 2007 Council Minutes Increase the number of units in the building under construction from 57 to 60. Expand the development to include a second 4 storey, 12 unit building on the adjacent lands Planning Analysis Official Plan Designated Residential Properties at the periphery of a residential neighbourhood with direct access to an arterial road and public transit and proximity to a minor commercial district may develop to a density of 75 un /ha (30 un /ac) The current proposal is denser than the current approval by 7 un /ha, (3 un /ac) but is still within an acceptable range of the density allowed by the Official Plan. The proposal is acceptable for the following reasons: As the site has direct access to an arterial road, local roads will not be impacted. The site: Is within walking distance of two minor commercial districts: McLeod and Dorchester McLeod and Drummond; Is close to schools and parks; and Has immediate access to several transit routes No external changes are required to the existing building for the provision of 3 additional units. Proposed four storey building is within the height limits in the OP and is compatible with the surrounding development. Zoning Lands at 6513, 6515 6525 McLeod Rd are zoned a site specific R5B- Residential Apartment 5B Density which permit a 4'/z storey, 57 unit apartment building, as modified by the C of A. Lands at 6473 6483 McLeod Rd are zoned Transition Residential Multiple. Applicant is requesting all properties be placed under a new site specific R5B zone to permit the additional units in the building as well as to permit the second apartment building. This new zone would incorporate all the current site specific zoning standards that apply for the apartment under construction, with the exception of allowing the 60 units. The amending bylaw will also incorporate an earlier C of A decision that allowed the building height to be increased from 16m (52 ft) to 17m (56 ft). For the new building, an increase in height from 10m (32.8 ft) to 14.5m (47 ft) will need to be incorporated into the bylaw. This height increase will be mitigated by an increased rear yard setback, 15m (50ft) rather than 10m (32.8 ft) and will also be incorporated in the bylaw. The lands on either side of the development although occupied by single detached dwellings are zoned TRM and intended to be developed with appropriate multiple residential dwellings over time. The applicant is also seeking to reduce the site specific parking standard from 1.5 spaces /dwelling unit to 1.43 spaces /dwelling unit. This proposed standard is still above the City's minimum requirement of 1.4 spaces /dwelling unit and is sufficient to meet the needs of the residents, given the proximity to transit routes and neighbourhood facilities. 4 December 10, 2007 Council Minutes The applicant is also seeking to reduce the landscaped open space coverage from 45% to 39 This proposed landscaped open space coverage is also above the standard R5B zone requirement of 35% of the lot area and will still provide adequate buffering from McLeod Rd and abutting properties. Conclusion The requested Zoning Bylaw amendment to increase the number of units in an apartment building under construction and to permit a second 4 storey, 12 unit apartment building can be supported for the following reasons: It conforms to Provincial policies and with the Official Plan policies that apply to the area. The addition of the units to the building under construction will not affect its size or height and will not impact on the surrounding properties. The proposed second building incorporates an increased rear yard setback to mitigate impacts on surrounding properties. Lu Marcantonio, 2M Architects, St. Catharines, representing the applicant advised that they were pleased with the report and the process dealing with the Planning division. Felix Pingue, applicant, indicated that as in the past, he has offered to contribute financially to the provision of stoplights on Mcleod Road, which is a Regional road. ORDERED on the motion of Councillor Diodati, seconded by Councillor Pietrangelo that the report be approved as recommended. Carried Unanimously PD- 2007 -100 Chief Administrative Officer AM-27/2007, Zoning By -law Amendment Application, 6493 Orchard Avenue, Applicant: Li Guang Zeng, Agent: Lu Marcantonio, 2M Architects, To permit the Existing Building to be Converted into a 4 -Unit Dwelling Background Mayor Salci advised that the Public Meeting was now closed The applicant has requested an amendment to Zoning By -law for a 1317 sq m (0.33 ac) property. The applicant proposes to convert the building on the property into a four unit dwelling. The building was originally used for commercial purposes before it was converted into the Niagara Falls Firefighter's Recreational Club. This use ceased a couple of years ago when the property was bought by the current owner. The building was then illegally occupied as a lodging house, which was the subject of an unsuccessful Minor Variance Application. Fire Building and By -law Enforcement sections took actions to cease the illegal use. The property has lost the legal non conforming status. Planning Analysis Official Plan Designated Residential Residential lands are intended for various types of residential dwellings Properties that are located on collector roads are allowed to be developed for low rise apartments and other forms of multiple housing up to a density of 50 un /ha (20 un /ac) 5 December 10, 2007 Council Minutes The requested amendment complies with the OP as follows: The development is located on a collector road (Dixon St) and at 30 un /ha (12 un /ac) is well within the density contemplated by the OP for such a development. The proposed residential use is more compatible with surrounding residences than the former private club use of the property, which generated significant traffic. Zoning The property is zoned R1 E Residential Single Family 1 E Zone. The applicant is requesting the zoning of the property be changed to a site specific R3 Residential Mixed zone to permit the conversion of the existing building on the property to a four unit dwelling. The site specific zoning will recognize the location of the existing building. Staff recommend that the landscaping included in the by -law entail removing the paved parking area along the entire Orchard Ave frontage and a portion of the paved area along Dixon St as well as restricting access to one driveway. The proposed landscaping is essential to ensure the site is compatible with adjacent dwellings and amenity area is provided for the property's residents. The applicant will need to complete and file with the MOE a Record of Site Condition to ensure the building is suitable for residential purposes. It is recommended that this work be completed prior to passage of the amending by -law. Alternatively, a hold zone can be implemented and lifted once the Record of Site Condition is completed. Conclusion The conversion of the building on the property is appropriate as it complies with the Official Plan with respect to multiple residential developments and is compatible with surrounding properties, provided the proposed landscaping is implemented. It is recommended that the required Record of Site Condition be completed and filed and the outstanding liens on the title of the property be cleared prior to the passage of the amending by -law. Recommendation That Council approve the Zoning Bylaw amendment application to permit the existing building to be converted into a four unit dwelling. That prior to the passage of the amending bylaw, the applicant be required to: Complete a Record of Site Condition to the satisfaction of the City and the Regional Municipality of Niagara; and Pay the outstanding liens that the City has placed on the property. Lucy Cuviello, representing her parents Mr. Mrs. Peter Vacca, 6492 Orchard Avenue, stressed that her parents were not opposed to this development, per se, but that there had been no previous efforts on the part of the owner to improve the property. The building is currently derelict overrun with weeds, graffiti etc. She expressed concern with the overflow of people and vehicles, and wanted to know the numbers of occupants to be expected. Lu Marcantonio, 2M Architects, representing the applicant, advised that there will be four dwellings and the parking will only permit spots for the four residences. Mr. Marcantonio advised that a second floor is not permitted on the building and that windows were going to be added. He indicated that through the site plan process any issues the neighbours might have will be dealt with. ORDERED on the motion of Councillor loannoni, seconded by Councillor Mayes that the recommendation report be approved, that the residents be included in the site plan process and that Property Standards monitor the property. 6 December 10, 2007 Council Minutes Background Carried Unanimously PD- 2007 -101 Chief Administrative Officer AM-27/2007, Zoning By -law Amendment Application, 4030 Montrose Road, Applicant: 1655557 Ontario Inc. (Laith Aboona) and 1405346 Ontario Inc. (Harold Smith) Agent: Richard Rosenboom and Simon Prentice, JJ Barnike Real Estate Proposed Clinic The applicants wish to add a clinic within an existing building on the lands. Currently, a site specific zoning by -law permits a range of non industrial uses, including offices, banks, restaurants, a dental office, health centre and clubs, in addition to the light industrial uses permitted on the site. Planning Analysis Official Plan Designated Industrial The OP permits free standing offices and other complementary uses in order to respond to changing market conditions and new development trends, subject to restrictions on the size, location and design to protect the integrity of industrial areas. The requested amendment complies with the OP because: Small scale use, will not affect the integrity of the Kent Industrial district, already used for a range of small scale commercial and non industrial uses. The site provides a transition between commercial uses to the north and industrial uses to the south. Zoning The land is currently zoned Light Industrial The requested amendment will add a clinic a permitted use. There are no other changes to the uses permitted or the development standards applicable to the property. The proposed use will be complementary to the other permitted non industrial uses and will not conflict with permitted light industrial uses and is similar to a dental office already permitted on the site. Conclusion Permitting a clinic on the property is appropriate as it complies with the Official Plan with respect to locating non industrial uses in industrial areas and it is compatible with surrounding properties. Recommendation That Council approve the Zoning By -law amendment application to permit a clinic as a use on the property.
