Report PO 19-04 Date: April 20, 2004 Subject: Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 13/03 Page 2 Financial Implications: proposed development. No direct costs to the City are anticipated as a result of the Background: 1.0 1.1 Comments Received At the August 7, 2003 Information Meeting (see text of Information Report, Attachment #3) 1.2 Public Comments - no public present at meeting Agencies: Durham Region Planning Department Ministry of Transportation Veridian Connections 1.3 City Departments: Development Control Applicant Comments - no comments - conforms with Regional Official Plan; - municipal water supply and sanitary sewer are available; - direct vehicular access to Kingston Road is not permitted; - no Provincial interests identified (see Attachment #4); - no objection in principle; - any new buildings must be set back a minimum of 14.0 metres from Highway 401; - permits are required prior to any construction being undertaken (see Attachment #5); - no objection; - existing service to this site may be inadequate.

The applicant has proposed uses similar to a 'SC-2' - Special Commercial zoning used elsewhere in the City. It is recommended that certain uses, including all currently permitted uses (see list below), not be permitted as they are not reflective of or conducive to an 'urban village'. These uses are commonly associated with higher volumes of vehicular traffic with associated loading and unloading of vehicles, and are not considered appropriate for the entry to this evolving "Urban Village" setting. Uses that will assist to establish identification to the Rougemount Village entrance include office, institutional, community, retail, and restaurant uses as set out in the Council adopted guidelines for the Kingston Road Corridor (Rougemount Village). These uses promote a vibrant healthy community atmosphere of an "Urban Village", while providing greater opportunity for a proper gateway entry presence. Currently Permitted Proposed Uses Recommended Use Uses (Yes I No) Warehouse No Home Improvement No Centre Liqht Manufacturinq Plant No Banquet Facility Yes Place of Assembly Yes Place of Worship Yes Club Yes (Publ ic/Private/Commercial) Bakery Yes Office Yes (Business/Professional/Admin. ) Commercial-Recreational Yes - No Bingo Hall Establishment Commercial School Yes Drv Cleanina Establishment Dry Cleanina DeDot Financial Institution Yes Personal Service Shop Yes Restaurant Yes - No Drive- Thru -- Retail Store Yes Scie ntifi c/Resea rch/Med i ca I No Laboratory Vehicle Sales/Rental Establishment No Vehicle Accessorv Installation No Report PO 19-04 Date: April 20, 2004 Subject: Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 13/03 Page 4 2.1.2 Parkinq standards to ensure land use compatibility. Specific parking requirements will permit significant development of the subject property while regulating parking associated with uses that are higher parking generators. Over-intensification of the land will be avoided through the proposed parking provisions. The following table outlines parking standards that are recommended to effectively control future development of the site. Recommended Uses Minimum Off Street Parkina Reauirements Commercial-Recreational Establishments (No Bingo Hall) Commercial School 8 parking spaces per 100 square Club (Public/Private/Commercial) metres of gross leasable floor area Place of Assembly Place of Religious Assembly Banquet Facilitv Office (Business/Professional/Administrative) Restaurant (No Drive-Thru) Dry Cleaning Depot 5.5 spaces per 100 square metres of Financial Institution gross leasable floor area Personal Service Retail Store Bakery 2.2 Site Planning 2.2.1 A Site Plan Aqreement & Holdinq Provision within the Zoninq By-law will help implement the Official Plan Guidelines. The additional uses recommended for this site will enhance the marketability of the property and move the site closer to the 'urban village' envisaged by the Official Plan. However, improvements to the site are required to accommodate appropriate future development. The existing outdoor storage structures (pole barns) must be removed and the landscaping at the corner of Kingston Road and Rosebank Road should be enhanced to initiate implementation of the Official Plan policies for an 'entry' to the evolving "Urban Village". In order to ensure that these improvements are made, the owner of the site will be required to enter into a site plan agreement with the City. A Holding Provision in the implementing zoning by-law is proposed in order to obtain this agreement. Report PO 19-04 Date: April 20, 2004 Subject: Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 13/03 Page 5 2.2.2 Sidewalk completion alonq Kinqston Road will be required throuqh the Site Plan Approval Process and associated Site Plan Aqreement. A sidewalk currently exists along part of the Kingston Road frontage of the property, from Rosebank Road, west to the existing bus shelter. This sidewalk will be extended by the City to the western boundary of the site. Depending on the use, a sidewalk may also be installed along the Rosebank Road frontage of the property. This will be determined through the site plan review process once the property enters into a site plan agreement (see Section 2.2.1) and will also be constructed by the City (see Attachment #7 - Future Sidewalks). Zoning By-law Performance Standards 2.3 2.3.1 Buildinq setbacks will encouraqe development toward Kinqston Road. The owner of the property intends to retain the existing building. This building was constructed prior to the establishment of the Kingston Road Corridor Guidelines. Consequently it is recommended that the implementing by-law for this site require any new structures or additions to the existing building, to be located in closer proximity to Kingston Road. New or re-development of the subject property should better frame the roadways within the Rougemount Village precinct, especially at the intersection of Kingston Road and Rosebank Road. This intersection should signal the entry to the Village for westbound traffic. It is therefore recommended that buildings be permitted to locate up to 3.0 metres from Kingston Road and Rosebank Road (see Appendix I, Schedule II, of the Draft By-law, Proposed Setbacks). 2.3.2 Establishment of a Build-to-Zone (BTZ) to promote a main street environment with buildinqs close to the street. A Build-to-Zone is recommended to be established in the by-law to ensure that future development on-site is built in compliance with the intent of the Official Plan policies. The location of the Build-to-Zone will be along the eastern portion of the Kingston Road frontage toward the corner of the property. These standards will only apply to new development on the site. The BTZ will be setback 3.0 metres from the property boundary and have a dimension of 3.0 metres deep by 50.0 metres long. Fifty percent of the BTZ will be required to be occupied by a building (see Appendix I, Schedule II, of the Draft By-law, Proposed Bu ild-to-Zone). Report PO 19-04 Date: April 20, 2004 Subject: Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 13/03 Page 6 2.3.3 Buildinq heiqht will be requlated to ensure that a pedestrian friendly streetscape is presented and that built form does not overshadow Kinqston Road. It is recommended, that building height be regulated to ensure that buildings do not overshadow Kingston Road. The following chart outlines minimum and maximum heights that will be implemented through the proposed zoning by-law. Area Buildinq Heiqht Buildinq Heiqht Minimum Maximum Within the Build-to-Zone and between 3.0 - 6.0 metres 6.5 metres 8.5 metres depth abutting Kingston Road & Rosebank Road All other areas None 18.0 metres The desired outcome is to provide a pedestrian friendly evolving "Urban Village" streetscape by framing future development to the street, while maintaining the site's ability to function and accommodate a wide variety of uses. 3.0 Applicant's Comments Home Hardware owned this property at the time of application submission. However, the property was recently sold and the new owner is 1575423 Ontario Limited - Mr. Thadchaynani Kumaraswany. The new owner is aware of the contents of this report, has reviewed the draft by-law, and concurs with staff's recommendation. APPENDIX: Appendix I: Draft By-law Attachments: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.
