WHEREAS the Council-approved Official Plan
policy on secondary dwelling units has the objective of permitting one
apartment within each detached dwelling, within each half of a semi-detached
dwelling, and within a duplex building;
AND WHEREAS the intent of the Official Plan
policy is to provide such unit entirely within a dwelling, such that it is not
intended to become a stand-alone principal dwelling unit, capable of being
severed;
AND WHEREAS secondary dwelling units are also
intended to be smaller than their principal dwelling unit and should not result
in two units of equal size within a dwelling;
AND WHEREAS the creation of a secondary
dwelling unit should not result in the paving over of front yards to
accommodate any parking associated with the unit,
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the following
additional zoning regulations be added to the current zoning by-laws listed in
Section 1 of the Details of Recommended Zoning, Document 2, to the above-noted

“2. One secondary dwelling
unit is permitted in any detached dwelling, semi-detached dwelling unit, or
duplex building, in any zone that permits these dwelling types provided,
(a)
it
must not change the streetscape character along the road on which it is
located;
(b)
it
must not be a stand-alone, principal unit, capable of being severed; and
(c)
it
must only exist along with, and within the same building as, its principal
dwelling unit.”
2. A new paragraph 13 be added following
Subsection 11, paragraph 12 within the newly created General provisions
pertaining to Secondary Dwelling Units as follows and that all other paragraphs
be renumbered accordingly:
“13. (a)
Where the creation of a secondary
dwelling unit includes the provision of an additional, non-required parking
space in a driveway, a maximum of 50% of the
length of any lot line abutting a street of a residential lot may be used for a
driveway; and
(b) In all residential zones, the remainder
of the front yard and the corner side yard not occupied by the driveway, must
be landscaped; and
(c) The provisions of clause 13 (a) shall not relieve a property from the need to comply with any other provision of this by-law.”
And that no further
notice be provided pursuant to Section 34 (17) of the Planning Act.
Moved by Councillor P. Feltmate
Seconded by Councillor P. Hume
WHEREAS the proposal to permit secondary dwellings in
all parts of the city does not impose requirements for parking spaces for

that people living in secondary dwellings in some neighbourhoods are likely to
own cars and without additional parking spaces there is likely to be a problem
with on-street parking;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that
for the first five years the policy on secondary dwellings is in place a review
shall be conducted of complaints around parking in areas where secondary
dwellings are not currently permitted;
