BACKGROUND 

Learn more about link to Development Application process - Zoning Amendment 

Site location 

The lands located at 324 Sanctuary Private are affected by exception [2378] and are located within the Greystone Village (North Village) subdivision, specifically located on the east side of Main Street, south of Springhurst Avenue, west of the Rideau River, and north of Clegg Street.  

Applicant 

City-initiated amendment.  

Description of site and surroundings 

Lands affected by exception [2378], including 324 Sanctuary Private, are currently vacant. There is low-to-medium density residential development to the north along Springhurst Avenue. To the east there is open space and the Ottawa River and lands to the south and west form part of the Greystone Village.  

Summary of requested Zoning By-law amendment proposal 

This report recommends modifications to exception [2378] to correct an anomaly regarding the corner side yard setback provision. It is proposed to add a minimum corner side yard setback of 1.0 metre to exception [2378] to recognize the setback of the detached dwelling located at 324 Sanctuary Private. A Location Map is included as Document 1. Zoning details are included in Document 2. 

Brief history of proposal 

A zoning by-law amendment to permit development of these lands was approved by Council in March 8, 2017, however exception [2378] did not include a corner side yard setback provision to recognize the setback shown in the plans approved by Council. 

DISCUSSION 

Public consultation 

Public notification was undertaken in accordance with policies in Section 5.2.3.3 of the Official Plan for technical amendments to the Zoning By-law. These policies provide for an expedited process when amendments are undertaken to correct inaccuracies in the By-law.  

The Ward Councillor was notified of the proposed amendments and notification of the date of the Planning Committee meeting was provided in the EMC and Le Droit newspapers. No comments were received.  

For this proposal’s consultation details, see Document 3 of this report. 

Official Plan designation 

The subject lands are designated General Urban Area as shown on Schedule A of the Official Plan.  

Other applicable policies and guidelines 

The Old Ottawa East Community Design Plan (CDP) and Old Ottawa East Secondary Plan are applicable to the site. The Secondary Plan policies support a variety of residential building types, to achieve compatibility with existing lower profile neighbourhoods bordering the site.  

Planning rationale 

The proposed amendment will recognize the corner side yard setback of the detached dwelling located at 324 Sanctuary Private, as shown in plans approved by Council on March 8, 2017, and will facilitate development of the lands in accordance with policies in the Old Ottawa East Community Design Plan (CDP) and Old Ottawa East Secondary Plan. The anomaly in exception [2378] is delaying issuance of a building permit. 

Provincial Policy Statement 

Staff have reviewed this proposal and have determined that it is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement, 2014.
