BACKGROUND

This application affects a portion of a lot located at 9158 McKeown Farm Road. The subject land is located south of McKeown Farm Road and east of Yorks Corners Road. The property has a single detached dwelling with associated sheds, a garden suite and the land is rented for cash crop. The purpose of the subject application is to amend the Comprehensive Zoning By-law and the former Township of Osgoode Zoning By-law to change the zoning of a part of the property in fulfillment of a severance condition.

The applicants would like to legalize the existing Garden Suite in order to permit their mother to continue to reside in the Garden Suite.

DISCUSSION

Official Plan

According to the Official Plan, the western half of the subject land is designated “General Rural Area”. This designation contains a variety of land uses, such as farms, rural housing, wood lots and forests, small industries, golf courses, and in many places, small clusters of residential and commercial development. The intent of this designation is to accommodate a variety of land uses that are appropriate for a rural location and a limited amount of residential development where such development will not preclude continued agricultural and non-residential uses. The eastern half of the subject land is designated “Agricultural Resource Area”. This designation protects prime agricultural areas from loss of lands to other uses.

The policies in this Plan ensure that all forms of housing are permitted wherever residential uses are generally permitted, subject to regulations contained in the Zoning By-law. These include secondary dwelling units, rooming houses, group homes, shelter accommodation, retirement homes and garden suites. In subsection 3.1.1 a garden suite is defined as follows: “Where the zoning by-law permits a dwelling, a garden suite may only be permitted subject to a rezoning as a temporary use. A garden suite means a one-unit detached residential structure containing bathroom and kitchen facilities that is ancillary to an existing residential structure and that is designed to be portable.”

Zoning

According to the Comprehensive Zoning By-law, the site is zoned Rural Countryside Zone “RU”. This zoning permits a detached dwelling, agricultural use and many other uses.

In order to ensure that the intent of this Zoning By-law amendment is reflected in the Comprehensive Zoning By-law and that all subject lands will continue to meet the zoning provisions, it is recommended that the zoning of the site be changed from Rural Countryside Zone “RU” to Rural Countryside Zone – Exception xxr “RU[xxr]” in order to permit the existing Garden Suite for a temporary 10-year period. This rezoning is considered appropriate since it promotes affordable and appropriate housing which is a fundamental building block of a healthy, liveable community. This rezoning will allow the applicant’s mother to continue to remain on the same property with her daughter and son-in-law.

According to the former Township of Osgoode Zoning By-law, the site is zoned Rural. This zoning permits a single detached dwelling, agricultural use and many other uses. The applicant’s request to change the zoning of the site from Rural Zone “RU” to Rural Zone – Exception xx “RU[xx]” is in order to permit the existing Garden Suite for a temporary 10-year period.

There are no existing problems or technical issues related to environmental, noise, traffic and servicing. As the land to be rezoned is already developed and no new development is planned on the subject land, new problems or issues are not anticipated.

The owner will be required to enter into an agreement with the City, which specifies the obligations of the property owner: that occupancy of the unit is to be restricted to the owner's parent, and that the unit is to be removed when no longer required by the occupants, or at the end of the 10-year period. A further three-year extension may be sought if the unit is still required, if the extension is requested and approved by City Council prior to expiry of the Temporary Use Bylaw. The garden suite agreement will be prepared by Legal Services and must be executed by the owner prior to the enactment of the by-law by City Council.

Staff recommends approval of this Zoning By-law amendment application.

CONSULTATION

Notice of this application was carried out in accordance with the City's Public Notification and Consultation Policy. The Ward Councillor is aware of this application and the staff recommendation. The City did not receive any negative comments or opposition to this application.
