1131 Ridgewood Court
(Lot 52, 40M-1607)
City of Pickering
The applicant requests relief from Zoning By-law 3036, as amended by By-law 2864/88
to permit the parking of a commercial vehicle 2.8 metres in height and 7.0 metres in
length in the front yard and a parking space to encroach onto a road allowance,
whereas the by-law permits a maximum vehicle height of 2.6 metres and a maximum
vehicle length of 6.7 metres to be parked in a front yard, and no vehicle parking is to
encroach onto any road allowance.
The applicant requests approval of this variance in order to obtain zoning compliance.
Recommendation:
The Planning & Development Department considers the parking of a commercial
vehicle 2.8 metres in height and 7.0 metres in length in the front yard and a parking
space to encroach onto a road allowance to be major variances that are not desirable
for the appropriate development of the land, and not in keeping with the general intent
and purpose of the Official Plan and the Zoning By-law, and therefore recommends
Refusal of the proposed variances.

Comment:
Official Plan and Zoning By-law
Pickering Official Plan — Urban Residential Area — Low Density Area within the

Zoning By-law 3036 —"R4" — Fourth Density Residential
Appropriateness of the Application
• the intent of a minimum side yard width of 1.5 metres for a detached dwelling
where a garage is erected as a part of the dwelling is to maintain an
established character of openness, to maintain a buffer space between
dwellings and adjacent lots, and to provide adequate access to the rear yard
of the property
• the existing side yard widths of 1.5 metres for the existing detached dwelling
with an attached garaged provides adequate buffer space between dwellings
and access to the rear yard of the property, therefore, the proposed side yard
width of 1.5 metres for a detached dwelling without an attached garage will
maintain the adequate buffer space
• the proposed side yard widths does not appear to have an adverse impact on
the surrounding neighbourhood
• the intent of the zoning by-law would be maintained
