APPLICATION DETAILS 1.1 Applicant: Brent Pearce 1.2 Rezoning: To rezone the subject lands from "Agricultural (A)" and "Environmental Protection (EP)" to an appropriate zone to permit the construction of an apartment-in-house. 1.3 Site Area: 0.7 ha (1.74 ac) 2. LOCATION 2.1 The subject lands are located at 1754 Nash Road in Courtice (Attachment I). The property is contained within Part Lot 28, Concession 3, in the former Township of Darlington. 608 REPORT NO.: PD-06o-01 PAGE 2 3. BACKGROUND 3.1 On April 18, 2001, the owner submitted a rezoning application to the Municipality of Clarington to rezone the subject lot at 1754 Nash Road to permit the construction of an apartment-in-house. 4. SITE CHARACTERISTICS AND SURROUNDING USES 4.1 The subject property contains a single detached dwelling unit on the western portion of the lot, which has frontage and access to Nash Road, 4.2 Surrounding Uses: East Residential North - Residential West - Residential South - Vacant land zoned Environmental Protection S. OFFICIAL PLAN POLICIES 5.1 The lands are designated "Living Area" within the Durham Region Official Plan. The goal of the Living Area designation is to provide a full range of housing. 5.2 Within Clarington Official Plan, the subject lands are designated "Urban Residential" and "Environmental Protection Area". The Urban Residential designation permits one apartment-in-house in a detached dwelling, in urban residential areas. Thus the application conforms to the policies. 6. ZONING BY-LAW CONFORMITY 6.1 The subject lands are currently within the "Agricultural (A) Zone" and "Environmental Protection (EP) Zone" which, on a lot of this size (less than 2 ha), permits a single detached dwelling unit. This zone also permits a "converted dwelling" which is defined as a dwelling constructed prior to September 10, 1984 that may be converted to an additional dwelling unit that may be occupied by the owner's immediate family. The 609 REPORT NO.: PD-060-0l PAGE 3 applicant is not converting the existing dwelling, but rather is constructing an addition in which the apartment will be located. Thus, the need for the rezoning application. 7. PUBLIC NOTICE AND SUBMISSION 7.1 Public notice was given by mail to each landowner within 120 metres of the subject site and a public meeting notice sign was installed on the lands. 7.2 As of the writing of this report, one inquiry has been received on this application. Mrs. Racansky called for clarification of the intent of the application. She has no objection to the application but would like to be listed as an interested party. 8. AGENCY COMMENTS 8.1 The Clarington Fire Department has no objections to the proposal. 8.2 The Clarington Public Works Department has no objections subject to the following conditions: . The applicant shall submit to the Building Division, prior to the building permit being issued, Health Department consent for the existing or new septic system. . The Building Division will require two copies of the grading plan and site service drawings, stamped and approved by both the Manager of Engineering and Director of Planning. . Adequate on-site parking is provided. 8.3 The Regional Health Department requires that either the applicant demonstrate that the existing sewage system can handle the increased sewage flows or that the existing septic system can be enlarged. 8.4 Comments remain outstanding from the Hydro One Networks Inc., Central Lake Ontario Conservation, and Durham Regional Public Works. 610 REPORT NO.: PD-060-01 PAGE 4 9. COMMENTS 9.1 In 1997 the Municipality of Clarington amended the Comprehensive Zoning By-law and approved a By-law under the Municipal Act to permit apartments-in-houses in the Urban Residential Type One, Two and Three (Rl, R2 and R3) Zones, provided they are registered with the Municipality. The subject property, although inside the Courtice Urban Area, is zoned Agricultural (A). This zone does not permit an apartment-in-house. The applicant is seeking to rezone the subject property to permit an apartment-in-house. 9.2 An apartment-in-house is not required to have full municipal services. The applicant has had discussions with the Health Department and two options were given to ensure the sewage system functions adequately. The applicant has chosen to add a second septic tank and enlarge the existing septic system by extending it 12 metres in a northerly direction. 9.3 One additional parking space is required in addition to the two required parking spaces for a single detached dwelling. The subject property is sufficiently large, 0.7 ha (1.74 ac) to easily accommodate these parking requirements. 9.4 If approval of the rezomng IS gIven, the applicant will be required to submit an application to register the apartment-in-house and apply for a building permit for it's construction. Development charges will apply for this second unit. 9.5 The Clarington Official Plan requires an Environmental Impact Study to be undertaken within or adjacent to any natural feature identified on Map 'C' of the Official Plan. The subject lot is located on the Lake Iroquois Beach. Comments have not been received from the Conservation Authority so the scope of the Environmental Impact Study has not been determined at this time. The applicant is aware ofthis requirement. 611 REPORT NO.: PD-060-01 PAGE S 10. CONCLUSIONS 10.1 As the purpose of this report is to satisfy the requirements for the Public Meeting under the Planning Act, and taking into consideration all of the comments received, it is respectfully requested that this report be referred back to Staff for further processing and the preparation of a subsequent report.
