Zoning By-law Amendment Application SC-Z1999023

Michael and Rosemary Naemsch

136 Zaph Avenue

Part of Lot 5, Concession 2

Part of Lot 59, Registered Plan 2129

Highland Creek Community

Scarborough Highland Creek

Purpose:

Zoning By-law Amendment and Consent applications have been submitted in order to facilitate the creation of two single-family residential lots as shown on Figures 1 and 2. The rezoning would permit the proposed lots to have a minimum lot area of 522 square metres with similar development standards to lots in the abutting approved draft plan to the west which have frontage on the proposed extension of Goldene Way. Consent application SC-B46/99 has been submitted in support of the rezoning application.

Financial Implications:

None.

Recommendations:

That the Scarborough Community Council convene a Public Meeting to consider this application targeted for the third quarter of 1999. Notice of the Public Meeting is to be provided to all assessed persons within 120 metres (450 feet) of the subject property and the Highland Creek Community Association.

Background:

The proposal complies with the Low Density residential designation within the Highland Creek Community Secondary Plan providing for single-family dwellings on lots having minimum lot areas of 450 square metres (4,844 square feet). The current zoning for the property permits one single-family dwelling per parcel of land with a minimum 15 metres (50 feet) frontage on a public street and a minimum lot area of 696 square metres (7,500 square feet).

The Zoning By-law Amendment proposes to rezone the ownership to permit two single-family dwelling lots to each have a minimum frontage of 15.6 metre (51 feet) and a minimum lot area of 522 square metres (5,618 square feet). The parcel to be retained will have frontage on Zaph Avenue, with the parcel to be conveyed to be integrated into the approved plan of subdivision having frontage on Goldene Way.

The lots to be created are consistent in frontage, depth, and area with existing lots having frontage on Zaph Avenue and within the approved plan of subdivision to the west and south of the subject property.

Comments:

Potential Benefits

The applicant's proposal provides for the development of the rear portion of the property (the parcel to be conveyed) to be developed in conjunction with the approved plan of subdivision to the west. The proposed development of these lots will be consistent with the City's infill development objectives as shown on the Tertiary Plan for the Highland Creek Community.

Potential Concerns

Although a plan of subdivision is not required for the orderly development of the land, appropriate conditions of consent must be imposed in order to secure the necessary municipal services for the development.
