ZONING BY-LAW AMENDMENT APPLICATION 6666 MOUNTAIN ROAD APPLICANTS: BRIAN & EMILIE WETHERELL CITY FILE: AM-2018-019 February 26, 2019

Neighbourhood Concerns Westerly boundary: fence and trees Neighbourhood Petition: lot sizes too small/high density/property values requested R1C zone that would result in loss of 3 lots

Future Development Plan Prepared to demonstrate potential lots through future consent applications will meet or exceed Zoning regulations Current “Development Holding” zone already includes R1E regulations for a dwelling eliminated 1 lot from original plan…..11 lots max. in long term approximate areas range between 5,000 -5,900 sq. ft. & frontages nearly 44 - 60 ft. no future public road permitted west from Mountain Rd ... multi-residential/condo likely.

Official Plan Conformity Designation: “Residential” designation within “Built- Up Area”; permitted uses on local road generally singles, semis or Townhouses Appropriate land use and zone: single detached is consistent; current “Development Holding” Zone already includes R1E regulations to allow a dwelling; future development will meet or exceed minimum R1E requirements. Compatibliity: does not mean that development has to be exactly the same, should co-exist without any adverse impacts. Lot areas, setbacks, coverage, building height will permit comparable home sizes (i.e. over 2,000 sq.ft. ); All planning policies encourage varying lot sizes and unit sizes…. particularly the City’s OP which also promotes smaller lot sizes Density: “higher” densities anticipated in “Built-Up Area”, gradation of densities promoted; “Low density” (20.75 u/ha) proposed ….at the low end of OP requirement (20 -40 u/ha), future development to the west will likely be “Medium Density” (i.e. Townhouses or apartments) Efficient use of land and infrastructure: ….underutilized property, RIC zone being requested would result in the loss of 3 lots, we have revised future plans for one less lot; more cost effective development Affordable Housing : more affordable building lots

Conclusion As set out in the Planning staff report (PBD-2019-06) supporting this application, the proposed Zoning By-law amendment meets all applicable tests under Provincial, Regional and City policies and plans
