He proposes a semi-detached dwelling at 10 Victoria Street. 1. Background 1.1 On September 9, 2019, Committee considered PSD-039-19 which recommended denial of a request by Ken Hoy for an exemption to Interim Control By-law 2018-083 for 10 Victoria Street. The report was tabled to September 25, October 21, November 11 and December 2 and finally tabled until the applicant and staff had come to a resolution. 1.2 On August 8, 2019, Ken Hoy of Stonefield Homes contacted staff and verbally requested an exemption to Interim Control By-law 2018-083 to construct a semi-detached dwelling at 10 Victoria Street (see Figure 1). lip d tie n � PLN 8.6.7 - Interim Control'By Lraw 2018-0083 ' a Figure 1 ill Victoria Street 1.3 The semi-detached building originally proposed two dwellings with a common wall separating a double car garage for each unit.

Character Analysis 2.1 Following 0 =REIVsubmission, staff undertook a Character Analysis for 10 Victoria Street. The Character Analysis determined that the subject property is in a neighbourhood with predominantly one -storey, single -detached dwellings with either a single -car detached garage in the rear or no existing garage. A small proportion of the dwellings in the assessment area of the subject property have attached garages with a single -car garage door, typically setback from the front wall of the dwelling. The assessment area consists of dwellings with dominant characteristics including brick and siding materials, a front facing porch, stoop or landing with one main door facing the street, and low-pitched gable or hip roof styles. Neighbouring properties in the character assessment area have maintained a landscaped front yard with shrubs and trees that are mature. Lots in this area also have frontages that are typically wider than 15 metres. 2.2 The analysis determined that the proposed semi-detached building did not meet some of the predominant characteristics of the surrounding neighbourhood. As a result, staff consulted, through meetings and emails with Mr. Hoy suggesting modifications to the proposal to more suitably address the neighbourhood context. 2.3 The proposed one -storey semi-detached building is more consistent with the low-rise character of the assessment area. The proposal generally complements the neighbourhood and lot features described above. The proposed semi-detached building Municipality of Clarington Report PSD-005-20 Page 4 is designed to share a common wall between the garages. Following the assessment, and through discussion with Mr. Hoy it has been agreed to revise the building elevation to provide a single car garage door for each dwelling. The garage door remains flush with the front wall of the dwelling but recessed from the front porch (Figure 3). 3. Discussion 3.1 The Interim Control By-law provided exemptions for properties where a development application or building permit application was in progress. Where the regulations in the Interim Control By-law were not met, a Character Assessment was required to be submitted to Staff for an exemption 3.2 The subject property is 1,012.51 square metres in lot area and has a total lot frontage of 25.14 metres. The proposal for a semi-detached dwelling will require a land severance, resulting with a 12.57 metre frontage per lot. 7KHLSRSR\/DCFR❑IREP VAR-\NHu5-_I_R-HL regulations in By-law 84-63 and those contained in section 2.f of the Interim Control By- law for the interior side yard setback, building height and roof pitch. The revised design now has a single car garage door. Figure 3 Revised Proposed semi-detached dwelling for 10 Victoria Street 3.3 The semi-detached dwelling proposes a lot coverage of 43 percent which exceeds the maximum 35 percent contained in the Interim Control By-law. The request for exemption to the Interim Control By-law requires approval for the increased lot coverage. 3.4 The Neighbourhood Character Study was completed in December 2019 and an amendment to Zoning By-law 84-63 and the Clarington Official Plan (COPA 2019-0002 and ZBA 2019-0019) are proposed to implement the recommendations of the Study. The intent of the Neighbourhood Character Study is to improve the existing zoning regulations to better reflect the existing character of the neighbourhood and permit future development that is more compatible with the character that exists in mature and established neighbourhoods. Municipality of Clarington Page 5 Report PSD-005-20 3.5 The additional 8 % in lot coverage is an increase from the 35% maximum permitted in the Interim Control By-law or proposed in the draft zoning for the character study. However, the proposed 43% lot coverage complies ZLU'QVOI LL B DEP EP [SHR L1 E11L1VME15 _LL zone regulations of Zoning By-law 84-63. The proposal provides an adequate amount of rear yard space, interior side yard and front yard; and provides the required minimum amount of landscaped open space for the property. The proposal complies with all other regulations in the Interim Control By-OZZ ID❑❑-FRP S&VZLI, AKH—Hu GW_V_LA QHaj5 ❑CL zone of Zoning By-law 84-63.
