RECOMMANDATIONSDU RAPPORT
Que le Comité de l’urbanisme et de
l’environnement recommande au Conseil :
1. d’approuver
une modification au Règlement de zonage de la de l’ancienne Ville d’Ottawa
pour changer le zonage de la partie est du 137, avenue Glebe, de CN5 F(2.0) H(10.7) à R3J,
tel qu’illustrée dans le document 1; et
2. d’approuver
une modification au Règlement N° 2008-250 du Règlement de zonage de la
Ville d'Ottawa pour changer le zonage de la partie est du 137, avenue
Glebe, de TM H(15) à R3P
tel qu’illustrée dans le document 1.
BACKGROUND
The owner is proposing to construct a 4-unit addition to an existing
3-storey detached dwelling on the property known as 137 Glebe Avenue thereby
establishing a 5-unit converted dwelling.
The subject lands are subject to two-zone designations in the former
City of Ottawa Zoning By-law 1998 and in the City Council approved new
Comprehensive Zoning By-law. Under the
former City of Ottawa Zoning By-law, the western portion of the site currently
accommodating a single family home, which is zoned R3J, a medium density
residential zone. The eastern portion
of the site is currently vacant and located within the CN5F(2.0)H(10.7)
neighbourhood linear commercial zone that applies to properties along Bank
Street.
Under the New Comprehensive Zoning Bylaw, the western portion of the
site is zoned R3P and the eastern portion of the site is zoned TM H(15). The CN zone does not permit a converted
dwelling as proposed to occupy the western portion of the site.
The purpose of the rezoning is to extend the residential zoning applying
to the western part of the site to include the entire property so as to allow
for the proposed residential development, which would be oriented to Glebe
Avenue.
DISCUSSION
The surrounding lands to the north, west and south are zoned residential
(R3J, R1E in the former City of Ottawa zoning by-law and R3 and R4 in the new
Council approved comprehensive zoning by-law) with commercially developed lands
along Bank Street being zoned commercial (CN5 in the former City of Ottawa
zoning by-law and TM in the new Council approved comprehensive zoning by-law).
The dual zoning applying to the subject property is considered an
anomaly, as it is the intent of the zoning by-law to ensure individual parcels
are located within one zone. In this
case, given that the property is oriented to and fronts onto Glebe Avenue, it
is appropriate to include all of the property within a residential zone rather
that allowing for commercial development to extend from the Bank Street
commercial corridor down Glebe Avenue, which is developed as a residential
street.
It is further noted that it has been the owner’s intent to develop
residential units for some time as the owner assumed the entire property was
zoned residential. Contact with the
City to initiate the process was undertaken in November of 2007, and
architectural discussions to design the dwelling units commenced shortly
thereafter. In reviewing the proposal,
it was determined that 137 Glebe was subject to two zone designations and that
to allow for the proposed residential development, a rezoning would be required
to bring the entire property into a residential zone. In the past, where anomalies are identified such as with the
subject property, the Planning, Transit and Environment Department would bring
forward reports to correct the anomalies without requiring owners to submit
site-specific rezoning applications.
However, due to the Department’s focus over the past while on having a
new comprehensive zoning by-law developed for the amalgamated City, the
Department was not able to resolve anomalies through anomaly reports, but
rather was proceeding to have these resolved through the new comprehensive
Zoning By-law. For the subject site,
the timing of the identification of the anomaly did not allow this to be
undertaken.
Given the circumstances, the Ward Councillor has initiated this rezoning
to allow the owner to finalize plans for development of the site, which as
noted has been contemplated by the owner for some time.
CONSULTATION
A pre-consultation meeting was held on March 25th at the Glebe Community
Centre. 15 residents of the area were in attendance and were fully supportive
of a residential development for the property as depicted on the drawings
presented. The Ward Councillor was also in attendance and supportive of the proposal. The concept plan presented to the community
is attached as Document 3.
Planning,
Transit and the Environment
The Department has reviewed this proposed Zoning By-law amendment in the
context of applicable policies in the Official Plan and considers the proposed
rezoning to establish a residential zoning for all of the property to be
appropriate.
