Background 2.1 On October 23rd, 2024, Planning Staff received an application for Minor Variance from the applicant and owner of 2945 Trulls Road. 2.2 The application seeks to facilitate the construction of a new additional dwelling unit within an accessory building by increasing the maximum permitted height from 5.25 metres to 7 metres. 3. Land Characteristics and Surrounding Uses 3.1 The subject property is located south of Nash Road, on the east of Trulls Road. (See Figure 1). The subject property has an approximate area of 1294.99 square metres, a frontage of 20.11 metres, and a depth of approximately 50 metres. 3.2 The surrounding uses are as follows: a. South — Urban Residential with single detached dwellings. b. North- Urban Residential and Commercial Plaza c. East — Urban Residential with single detached dwellings d. West — Urban Residential with single detached dwellings 4. Public Notice and Submissions 4.1 Pursuant to the requirements of the Planning Act, the appropriate signage notifying of the application was installed on the subject lands. In addition, the appropriate notice was mailed to each landowner within 60m of the subject site. 4.2 At the time of writing this report, staff have not received any inquiries regarding the proposal. 5. Discussion Maintain the general intent and purpose of the Clarington Official Plan 5.1 The subject lands are designated "Urban Residential" in the Clarington Official Plan which permits a range of residential uses on the property, including additional dwelling units. 5.2 The Municipality encourages intensification in urban areas to ensure the efficient use of existing infrastructure such as services, roads, schools, parks and other local amenities. 5.3 It is staff's opinion that the application conforms to the intent and purpose of the Clarington Official Plan. Municipality of Clarington Committee of Adjustment A2024-0055 Maintain the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law Page 6 5.4 Within Zoning By-law 84-63, the subject property is zoned "Urban Residential Type One (R1)" zone. The R1 zone permits a single detached dwelling and accessory residential uses. 5.5 The proposal conforms to and complies with the provisions of the R1 zone and By-law 2024-033, with the exception of increasing the permitted height of an ADU. 5.6 The intent of a maximum height limit of 5.25 metres for accessory buildings containing an additional dwelling unit in urban areas is to ensure compatibility with neighboring structures and to prevent taller buildings from overwhelming neighboring properties. The proposed additional dwelling unit is within an accessory building that maintains the minimum yard setbacks. The proposed additional dwelling unit will not have any negative impacts on surrounding neighbouring properties because it is sited at the rear of the property (See Attachment 2). In addition, the side lot lines, and rear lot lines are screened by vegetation such as trees and shrubs which contribute to adding privacy for the proposed additional dwelling unit. 5.7 It is staff's opinion that the proposal maintains the intent and purpose of the Zoning By- law. Desirable for the appropriate development or use of the land, building or structure 5.8 The appropriate development for the subject property is residential. The proposed additional dwelling unit does not appear to have any negative impacts on the neighbourhood and would improve the residential use of property for the current owner and future owners by having a second unit on the property for family members or rental purposes. 5.9 This application would aide in reaching Municipal intensification targets with development that can be supported by existing services and infrastructure. In addition, the lot is screened by vegetation which screens the proposed additional dwelling unit from abutting properties (See Attachment 3). The proposed location would not appear to present any negative impact on the adjacent properties. 5.10 No objections to the proposal have been received from members of the public at the time of writing this report, including any privacy concerns. The proposed additional dwelling unit within an accessory building complies with all other zoning provisions of By-law 2024-033 as amended in Zoning By-law 84-63. 5.11 It is staff's opinion that the minor variance requested is appropriate for the lands and would be desirable for the development and use of land, building or structure. Minor in Nature 5.12 To determine if an application is minor, a flexible approach is needed, considering how the variance affects the surrounding area and the existing By-law. Each application must be assessed based on its specific circumstances. Municipality of Clarington Committee of Adiustment A2024-0055 Paae 7 5.13 The proposed minor variance conforms to the general intent of the Clarington Official Plan while maintaining the intent of the provisions of the R1 Zone within Zoning By-law 84-63. There are no anticipated negative impacts to surrounding land uses. The proposed additional dwelling unit will not overwhelm any adjacent properties since the additional dwelling unit in an accessory structure that is compliant with the other zoning regulations and is not impeding the privacy of abutting lots. 5.14 For the above stated reasons, it is staff's opinion that the proposed increase in additional dwelling unit height is minor in nature. 6. Conclusion 7.1 Given the above comments, staff recommend approval of the application for a minor variance to Section 3.2.g.i) d) of By-law 2024-033, as amended within Zoning By-law 84-63, to facilitate the construction of a new additional dwelling unit within an accessory building by increasing the maximum permitted height from 5.25 metres to 7 metres; as it maintains the general intent and purpose of the Clarington Official Plan, and the Zoning By-law 84-63, desirable for the appropriate development or use of the land and minor in nature.
