Franklin Wu rector, Planning Services Chief Administrative Officer TW/CP/sh January 15, 2009 CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF CLARINGTON 40 TEMPERANCE STREET, BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO L1C 3A6 T (905)623-3379 F (905)623-0830 REPORT NO.: PSD-012-09 1.0 BACKGROUND PAGE 2 1.1 On October 27, 2008 Council adopted a general amendment to the zoning by-law dealing with recreational vehicles and accessory structures. At the same time Council adopted a resolution directing Staff to continue to review proposed changes to Aggregate Extraction Areas. 1.2 In addition to the proposed changes to Aggregate Extraction Areas, this amendment proposes two additional modifications as follows: Provisions regulating the maximum outside width for an attached garage on a single detached dwelling in the following zone categories: o Urban Residential Exception (R2-53) o Urban Residential Exception (R2-57) o Urban Residential Exception (R2-58) o Urban Residential Exception (R2-61) Adjustments to the Schedule boundaries to be more consistent with Urban and Hamlet boundaries and to divide the Darlington, Clarke and Urban Area maps into a grid with multiple pages per schedule as opposed to one large map. The format of the zone schedules will be similar to the one used for Municipality of Clarington Street Index. 2.0 PUBLIC NOTICE AND 2.1 Notice of the public meeting was provided in accordance with the provisions of the Planning Act and the Municipality of Clarington Official Plan. Notice was placed in the Clarington This Week and the Orono Times on January 7, 2009. 2.2 A submission was received from the designer for Geranium Corporation. They are designing homes for lots zoned R2-61 and R2-58 and have requested the Municipality consider a maximum garage width of 49 percent for an interior lot and 63 percent for an exterior lot. They wish to provide double car garages on the exterior lots. 3.0 AGENCY COMMENTS 3.1 The proposed Zoning By-law Amendment was circulated to relevant agencies for comment. All comments received will be addressed in the subsequent recommendation report. REPORT NO.: PSD-012-09 PAGE 3 4.0 STAFF COMMENTS 4.1 Aggregate Extraction Areas 4.1.1 Section 15.3.1 of the Clarington Official Plan indicates that the Municipality will amend the Zoning By-law to delete aggregate extraction and associated uses once the aggregate extraction license is revoked or surrendered. The Aggregate Extraction Area overlay designation is deleted from the Official Plan, without the need for a formal amendment, leaving the underlying permanent designation. 4.1.2 Ten properties have had their licences surrendered and it is appropriate to rezone those properties in accordance with the corresponding Official Plan designation. The locations of the properties are contained in Attachment 1. 4.1.3 The owner of the Coombes Pit, identified as number 5 in Attachment 1, has advised staff that he is working with the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) to finalize rehabilitation efforts on his property. He is hopeful that the licence will be revoked by the MNR in order to be considered as part of the proposed zoning by-law amendment. 4.2 Schedule Boundaries 4.2.1 Currently, there are nineteen Schedules attached to Zoning By-law 84-63. Two consist of the former geographic area of the Townships of Darlington and Clarke while the remaining Schedules represent Courtice, Bowmanville, Newcastle Village; Orono and thirteen hamlets. The schedules were originally adopted in September 1984 prior to the current Urban Area and Hamlet Area boundaries being adopted. With the exception of the Darlington and Clarke Schedules, the schedules follow a geometric shape rather than the actual boundary as defined in the Official Plan. 4.2.2 The Schedule boundaries are to be adjusted to be more consistent with the Urban and Hamlet boundaries as defined in the Official Plan. The key map contained in Attachment 2 depicts the current and proposed schedule boundaries. A new Schedule is proposed for the Wilmot Creek Retirement Community. Although this area is not identified as a Hamlet, it is a unique community. It is anticipated that the zoning for this area will become more complex with the next phase of development, making it difficult to represent on the Darlington and Clarke Schedules due to the scale in which they are produced. The Rural Cluster of Bond Head will remain on the Newcastle Village Schedule. This area is not a designated Hamlet, however, given the level of existing development it is best represented at the scale used to produce the Newcastle Village Schedule as opposed to the Clarke Schedule. 4.2.3 The Schedules for Darlington, Clarke, Bowmanville, Courtice, Newcastle, and Orono will be divided into multiple pages at a larger scale (Attachments 3 to 8). This will improve the legibility of the maps for the reader and allow the maps to be produced on letter size paper. Over the years there have been many new zone categories introduced, making REPORT NO.: PSD-012-09 PAGE 4 it difficult to represent multiple zone categories in urban areas. Attachments 9 and 10 provide samples of the pages for Darlington and Bowmanville. 4.2.4 It will not be necessary to divide the Community into a grid system as they independent schedules similarly to what Attachment 11 provides an example of a 4.3 Outside Garage Width Hamlets and the Wilmot Creek Retirement are easily represented at a larger scale on is currently provided in Zoning By-law 84-63. Hamlet Schedule. 4.3.1 A regulation for a garage width is provided in the Urban Residential Exception (R2-53), Urban Residential Exception (R2-57), Urban Residential Exception (R2-58), and Urban Residential Exception (R2-61) zone categories as follows: "The outside width of the garage shall be a maximum of 40% of the width of the house." This regulation was introduced to minimize the prominence of a garage in relation to the entire fagade of a dwelling. However, it has become problematic for designers who wish to provide an attached garage for a dwelling on lots with frontages less than 10 metres. Assuming brick construction and an interior garage width of 3 metres (9.84 ft) for a single car garage, an attached garage would consume approximately 51 percent of the dwelling width, or 40 percent of the lot frontage on a 9 metre lot. On a 10 metre lot the garage would be 44 percent of the dwelling width. Attachment 12 depicts dwellings on 9 metre lot frontages with typical side yard setbacks. 5.0 CONCLUSIONS 5.1 It is recommended that the Application to amend the Zoning By-law continue to be reviewed to address outstanding issues and concerns raised at the Public Meeting.
