Official Plan: Residential Density One (RD1) which permits primarily single family and semi-detached dwellings.
Zoning: One Family Detached Dwelling Fourth Density Zone (R4) by zoning by-law 7625.
The official plan designation and zoning of this site and the surrounding area are shown on schedules "A" and "B".
Discussion :
The change from a single family dwelling to a semi-detached dwelling is permitted under the policies of the local community official plan. The issues to determine the appropriateness of this development are a review of the following zoning standards:
(a) setback requirements;
(b) an evaluation of proposed access onto Steeles Avenue and identify potential conveyance requirements across the frontage of the property to provide for the future road widening of Steeles Avenue; and
(c) urban design considerations such as building height, siting, landscaping and fencing to ensure potential impacts of new development on adjacent land uses.
Issues - City Wide:
None.
Conclusions:
The applicant is requesting a zoning by-law amendment to permit the construction of a semi-detached dwelling. A recommendations report will be prepared for the Community Council.
