Purpose:

The purpose of this application is to request exemption from part lot control in order that 14 townhouse units may be conveyed into separate ownership.

Recommendations:

It is recommended that:

(1)this application be approved and;

(2)that the draft by-law attached as schedule AC@ be approved.

Official Plan:(MCR) Mixed Commercial/Residential

Zoning:RM1 (19) Exceptions to RM1 Zone

Comments:

The lands were the subject of zoning amendment application UDZ-96-34 which was approved by Council on July 9, 1997. Implementing by-law #33106, which was enacted October 6, 1997, permits the redevelopment of the lands subject to specific zoning regulations. The development consists of 2 townhouse buildings containing a total of 14 two to three storey townhouse units with grade level "Home Business" uses. The site plan was approved on October 1, 1997 under application number UDSP-97-184.

The release of part lot control would permit the conveyance of each townhouse unit. As required by policy, the agreement that the developer guarantees that the owners of property and their successors in title will be responsible for the construction, maintenance and repair of the mutual common driveway and that the City will not be required to assume such services at any time in the future is in the process of being finalized. The applicant has submitted the required letter of undertaking that the City will be advised upon the sale or transfer of the last parcel of land in order that the exempting by-law may be revoked.

Conclusions:

This application is consistent with the City=s part lot control exemption policy, the undertaking is in place and the agreement is being finalized with the City=s Legal Department. The issues regarding this development have been reviewed and all matters of concern to the City, for the development of the subject lands, are covered by the conditions of site plan approval and the requirements of Zoning By-law 7625.
