2. BACKGROUND
2.1 On April 19, 1999 Staff Report PD-36-99 was submitted for Committee and
Council's consideration at the request of Council in light of concerns that had been
received by the Municipality in connection with the lack of on-street parking in new
residential subdivisions.
2.2 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.
2.3 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 4 of this report.
3. PUBLIC NOTICE AND SUBMISSIONS
3.1 As the. proposed amendment would be applicable to the Municipality at large,
notice of the Public Meeting was placed in the local newspapers serving the
Municipality pursuant to the requirements of the Planning Act.

3.2 In addition to the newspaper advertisement, by correspondence, the Oshawa-
Durham Home Builders Association, The Urban Development Institute, and any
delegations that addressed Committee and Council when Staff Report PD-36-99 was
considered were notified of the upcoming public meeting scheduled for July 5,
1999 as well as being provided with a draft copy of the proposed by-law
amendments for their review and information.
3.3 As of the writing of this report, one inquiry has been received. This individual
wished clarification as. to the content of the draft by-law amendments and the extent
it would effect his property.
4. PROPOSED BY-LAW AMENDMENTS
4.1 The proposed changes as noted in paragraph 1.2 of this report have been drafted
into four (4) separate by-law amendments.
4.2 The first amendment (Attachment No.1) incorporates a definition for ROutdoor
Parking SpaceR 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 Building Industry could provide the two outdoor spaces.

4.3 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.
4.4 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 and 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.
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 lots 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 that are subject to this public meeting. It is staff's intention to
implement Council's direction in any future rezoning of townhouse lots proposed
within any future draft plans of subdivision comply.
5.3 As the purpose of this report is to satisfy the requirements of the Public Meeting
process under the Planning Act, it is respectfully requested that this report be
referred back to staff for further processing and the preparation of a subsequent
report.
