2. BACKGROUND
2.1 On April 19, 1999 Staff Report PD 36-99 was submitted for Committee and Council's
consideration in light of the concerns that had been received by the Municipality in
connection with the lack of on-street parking in new residential subdivisions. Council
endorsed a number of recommendations contained within the Executive Summary
attached to Staff Report PD-36-99 and authorized staff to take the appropriate action
necessary to implement each.
2.2 As the proposed amendment would be applicable to the Municipality at large, a notice
advertising the Public Meeting was placed in the local newspapers serving the
Municipality pursuant to the requirements of the Planning Act.
2.3 Following the public meeting portion of the agenda, Committee endorsed the
recommendation contained within Staff Report PD-74-99 and referred the application
back to staff for further processing and preparation of a subsequent report. As of the
writing of this report no further comments/suggestions have been received from any of
the speakers at the public meeting nor the building industry at large.
2.4 The purpose of this report is to implement the recommendation to improve lot layout
possibilities within draft plans of subdivision through a number of changes to the
Municipality's Zoning By-law. The specific changes are highlighted within Paragraph
1.2 of this report and discussed further within Paragraph 3.

REPORT PD-117-99
PAGE 3
3. PROPOSED BY-LAW AMENDMENTS
3.1 The proposed changes as noted in paragraph 1.2 of this report have been drafted into four
(4) separate amendments.
3.2 The first amendment (Attachment No.1) incorporates a definition for "Outdoor Parking
Space" and identifies where such a parking space may be provided. Staff have
incorporated within the proposed amendment a stipulation that where the two outdoor
spaces are provided side by side, the minimum width of the two spaces can be reduced to
4.6 metres provided that the minimum landscaped open space within the front yard is at
least 30 percent. This is to ensure that a landscaped area remains a viable component
within the front yard of any residential property.
The proposed amendment also stipulates that the provision of two outdoor parking spaces
applies to all lots registered after January 1, 2000. This ''transition period" as noted in
Staff Report PD-36-99 would provide for all draft plans of subdivision that are currently
proceeding to registration this building season or previously registered to be exempt from
this requirement. Notwithstanding the transition period proposed, the builders could
provide the two outdoor spaces if they wished to.
3.3 The second by-law amendment (Attachment No.2) amends the definition of a private
garage or carport by incorporating a minimum size and width (18.58 m2) (200 sq. ft.) and
3.0 metres (9.8 ft) for a single detached, semi-detached or townhouse dwelling unit. The
"transition period" would also apply to this amendment.
3.4 The last two amendments (Attachments 3 and 4) make the necessary changes to the
individual residential zoning categories within By-law 84-63 to reduce the front yard
setback for single detached, semi-detached ant townhouse units, increase the lot coverage
for single detached dwelling units and limit the distance that a private garage or carport
may extend beyond the front of each dwelling type.

4. PUBLIC SUBMISSIONS
4.1 No objections were raised at the Public Meeting and no written comments have been
received on this application.
5. STAFF COMMENTS
5.1 Two proposed amendments that were included within the list of recommendations in
Staff Report PD-36-99 involved the minimum lot size permissible for townhouse
dwelling units as follows:
. where the lot is accessed by a rear lane, the minimum width of all future townhouse
lots at 6.0 metres.
. the minimum width for all future street townhouse lot would be increased from 6.0
metres to 7 metres within all future draft plans of subdivision.
5.2 These two recommendations were not incorporated within the context of the draft
amendments incorporated within this report. It is staffs intention to implement
Council's direction in any future rezoning of townhouse lots proposed within any future
draft plans of subdivision.
5.3 Although the new parking standards contained in the zoning by-law amendments
attached to this report have not been formally adopted by Council, two developers have
agreed to implement the new parking requirements within their developments through
conditions within their subdivision agreement.
6. CONCLUSIONS
6.1 In consideration of the above comments, staff support the approval of the application and
the by-law amendments attached to this report.

PARKING IN RESIDENTIAL AREAS
REPORT PD-117-99
REVISED ATTACHMENT #3 AND #4
A number of the provisions contained within the zoning by-law amendments attached
to Staff Report PD-117-00 acknowledged that they would only apply to all lots
registered after Januar;y 1, 2000. This "transition period" was an attempt to recognize
all draft plans of subdivision that were registered on title or were proceeding to
registration this building season.
The draft zoning by-law amendments identified as Attachment Nos. 3 and 4 to Staff
Report PD-117-99 included a provision regulating the maximum distance that a garage
or carport could extend beyond the front of any single family, semi-detached or
townhouse dwelling unit.
Following the preparation of Report PD-117-99, staff was approached by the building
industry with a request that the same "transition period" be applied to this provision.
Staff would have no objections to this request and have revised Attachment Nos. 3 and
4 to reflect their request.
The revised schedules are attached for Committee's consideration.
