In support of the applications, the applicant submitted a cover letter-rationale. Nadeem Irfan, agent, was present to represent the applications. No further representation was present in favour of or in objection to the applications. -3- Committee of Adjustment Hearing Minutes Wednesday, November 13, 2024 7:00 pm Electronic Hearing Page 4 of 10 In support of the application the agent stated the following; these applications are to facilitate land division applications that were approved last year at the Region of Durham Land Division Committee; during the Land Division process the applicant had not received any objections to the application from the Region’s Engineering Department or City Planning staff; and that at the time of the land division approvals there was only one variance required. The agent shared an alternate proposal to the requested applications. In reference to the requested lot coverage, the agent explained that the coverage includes the decks, the footprint of the dwellings is less than the required lot coverage. That agent believes the applications before the Committee are in good planning. The agent stated the applicant is willing to withdraw the lot coverage variance. In response to a question from a Committee member, the agent stated that the proposal is in keeping with the character of the neighbourhood. A Committee member stated that across the street from the subject sites are lots with 45 and 50 foot lots. The member commented that at the July Committee of Adjustment hearing, the Committee had approved a similar application. Regarding concerns from an area neighbour, the member commented that the Region had already approved the land division applications, assuming that they would be able to service the proposed four dwellings. In response to a question from a Committee member, the agent confirmed that these applications were heard at the October 9th Committee of Adjustment hearing and due to a variance being left out of the public notice, they were deferred. The agent stated they had had many conversations with Planning staff over the past year, along with Regional Engineering staff, and did not receive any objections or concerns. A Committee member mentioned the support from immediate neighbours who the proposal would have the greatest impact on. A Committee member commented that the subject properties are the gateway to the enclave on Woodview Drive, which has deep estate style lots. The member does not agree that the applications are infill properties, rather a redevelopment proposal. A Committee member argued that due to the properties being a gateway to the neighbourhood it would be more cohesive than if it were proposed in the middle of the neighbourhood. Regarding a question from a Committee member, the agent commented that the proposal is consistent within itself. Right across the street is a commercial property with a convenience store, giving the subject properties a unique character compared to the rest of the neighbourhood. -4- Committee of Adjustment Hearing Minutes Wednesday, November 13, 2024 7:00 pm Electronic Hearing Page 5 of 10 In response to questions from a Committee member, the agent confirmed that the intention was to always split the land into four lots. A new Zoning By-law has come into effect, requiring further variances. In response to the letter in objection to the applications from an area resident, the agent stated all agencies had given their approval to the land division applications, indicating no objections regarding servicing of the land and road access. Having the driveways on Woodview Drive would be safer than on Twyn Rivers Drive.

Ramsarran 852 Antonio Street Application The applicant requests relief from Zoning By-law 2520, to permit: •a minimum (west) side yard setback of 0.3 metres, whereas the By-law requires a minimum side yard setback of 1.5 metres; •a minimum side yard setback for an accessory building containing an additional dwelling unit on lots with an area of 2,000 square metres or less shall be 1.0 metre, whereas the By-law requires a minimum side yard setback for an accessory building containing an additional dwelling unit on lots with an area of 2,000 square metres or less shall be 1.2 metres; and •where an additional dwelling unit is located within an accessory building the gross floor area of the additional dwelling unit shall be determined by the most restrictive of the following regulations: maximum lot coverage of 39.7 percent for all buildings (dwelling, carport, and detached ADU) on the lot, whereas the By-law requires where an additional dwelling unit is located within an accessory building the gross floor area of the additional dwelling unit shall be determined by the most restrictive of the following regulations: maximum lot coverage of 33 percent for all buildings on the lot. (Staff identify that this variance is no longer required due to recent provincial legislation where O. Reg 462/24 permits a maximum 45 percent lot coverage for all buildings and structures on a parcel where an additional residential unit is located). The applicant requests approval of these variances to obtain a building permit for an attached carport and additional residential unit in an accessory structure. Recommendation The City Development Department recommends that the application with respect to the variance for a minimum (west) side yard setback to permit the additional residential unit in an accessory structure be Tabled until Council adopts an amendment to Zoning By-law 2520 to implement the provincial regulations outlined in O. Reg 462/24. and -11- Report MV 72/24 December 11, 2024 Page 2 For your information, and based solely on the application and supporting documentation filed by the applicant, the City Development Department has reviewed the application with respect to Section 45(1) of the Planning Act and considers the requested variance to permit a reduced (west) side yard to permit a carport to be minor in nature, desirable for the appropriate development of the land, and in keeping with the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan and the Zoning By-law. After considering all public and agency input, should the Committee find merit in this application, the following condition s are recommended: 1. That this variance applies only to the proposed carport, as generally sited and outlined on the applicant’s submitted plans (refer to Exhibits 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 & 7); and 2. That applicant revises their submitted carport and building plans and site plans to the satisfaction of Engineering Services to show that the carport concrete footings are contained entirely within the subject property, and downspout(s) are directed to the front or rear of the building to avoid directly discharging to the neighbouring properties (refer to Exhibit 7). Background O. Reg 299/19, as amended by O. Reg 462/24 On November 19, 2024, Ontario Regulation 462/24 was made and subsequently filed on November 20, 2024 (Ontario Regulation 462/24). The performance standards outlined within the provincial amendment include a maximum lot coverage of 45 percent for all buildings and structures on a parcel where an additional residential unit is located, as well as requiring a minimum seperation of 4.0 metres between each dwelling unit on a lot. The Provincial regulations outlined in O. Reg 462/24 are now in force and effect and are applicable with respect to the proposed additional residential unit in an accessory structure. The requested variance to permit an additional residential unit within an accessory structure will be tabled until the provincial regulations are implemented into Zoning By-law 2511. Comment General Intent and Purpose of the Official Plan The subject site is designated “Urban Residential Areas – Low Density” within the Bay Ridges Neighbourhood. The applicant is proposing to construct an attached carport . Staff is of the opinion that the requested variance to permit a reduced side yard for an attached carport maintains the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan. General Intent and Purpose of the Zoning By-law The subject property is zoned “R4” – Detached Residential under Zoning By-law 2520, as amended. A detached dwelling along with attached garage or carport is permitted. -12- Report MV 72/24 December 11, 2024 Page 3 Side Yard Setback for Carport The intent of the side yard setback requirement is to provide an appropriate separation between structures on abutting properties to maintain pedestrian access, accommodate grading, drainage and residential services; and be compatible with the character of the immediate neighbourhood. The reduced side yard for the carport will not increase the overall massing of the dwelling and maintains the character of the built form along Antonio Street, which consists namely of detached and semi-detached dwellings with garages and carports. The requested reduction in the south side yard setback requirement from 1.5 metres to 0.3 of a metre does not compromise the function of the west side yard. Overall, the carport will not adversely affect drainage and stormwater runoff, as the carport structure will cover an existing impermeable driveway. There is a slight increase in lot grading along the west property line, which will help mitigate drainage concerns for the adjacent lot. Stormwater runoff will be managed and contained within the property. Staff is of the opinion that the variance maintains the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law. Desirable for the Appropriate Development of the Land and Minor in Nature The requested variance for a reduced side yard will permit an attached carport. Overall, the proposed carport will not restrict access to the front and rear yards and does not compromise the overall massing of the dwelling on the lot. The existing development along Antonio Street consists of attached carports and garages. Staff is of the opinion that the requested variance is desirable for the appropriate development of the land and are minor in nature. Input From Other Sources Applicant •The variances are required to convert a detached garage into an additional dwelling unit. The carport is in lieu of retrofitting the detached garage. Engineering Services •Ensure the reduced side yard setback (if approved with this application) does not adversely affect the drainage patterns within the lots and surrounding area. •Ensure the increased lot coverage (if approved with this application) does not adversely affect the drainage patterns within the lots and surrounding area. •Downspout(s) must be directed to the front or rear of the building (if the application is approved) to avoid directly discharging to the neighbouring properties. •A portion of the carport’s footing appears to encroach onto the adjacent property. This is not permitted and must be revised.-13- Report MV 72/24 December 11, 2024 Page 4 Building Services •No concerns from Building Services; permit application is on hold until Committee’s decision. Public Input •A neighbour has provided City Development staff with a letter, dated October 14, 2024, in support of the project and has no concerns regarding the impact of construction on their property.

Da t e : D e c e m b e r 5 , 2 0 2 4 -21- Report to Committee of Adjustment Application Number: MV 73/24 Date: December 11, 2024 From: Deborah Wylie Manager, Zoning & Administration Subject: Minor Variance Application MV 73/24 Miller Waste Systems Inc. 1220, 1250 and 1280 Squires Beach Road Application The applicant is requesting relief from Zoning By-law 2511, as amended by By-law 61/74, to permit: •accessory structures (2 storage bunkers and 4 above -grade storage tanks) which are not part of the main building to be erected in the north side yard, whereas the By-law requires that all accessory buildings which are not part of the main building shall be erected in the rear yard; and •a reduced parking requirement of 226 parking spaces, whereas the By-law requires that the minimum parking for an industrial use shall be 1 space per 56 square metres of gross floor area (257 parking spaces). The applicant requests approval of this minor variance application to obtain approval of a Site Plan Amendment for an approved waste management facility. Recommendation For your information, and based solely on the application and supporting documentation filed by the applicant, the City Development Department has reviewed the application with respect to Section 45(1) of the Planning Act and considers the requested variances to be minor in nature, desirable for the appropriate development of the land, and in keeping with the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan and the Zoning By -law. After considering all public and agency input, should the Committee find merit in this application, the following condition is recommended: 1.That these variances apply only to the proposed development (2 storage bunkers and 4 above-grade storage tanks), as generally sited and outlined on the applicant’s submitted plans (refer to Exhibits 2, 3 & 4). Background The site is occupied by a waste management facility that is occupied by four buildings (a processing plant and office, an employee training building, a maintenance shop and a compost facility) and outdoor storage areas. The applicant has a Site Plan Agreement from 2005 that allows the buildings to be expanded from a total floor space of 11,370 square metres -22- Report MV 73/24 December 11, 2024 Page 2 to a total floor space of 15,792 square metres. To support the expansion, a Minor Variance Application P/CA 50/05 was approved to permit a total of 154 parking spaces. In September of 2024, the City received an application for Site Plan Amendment to reduce the expansion of the compost facility, relocate the employee training building, expand on-site parking, and introduce accessory storage structures within the outdoor storage areas. The total approved floor space would be reduced from 15,792 square metres to approximately 14,399 square metres, and the total provided parking would be increased to 226 spaces. The applicant is removing an isolated wetland to accommodate the portable and expanded parking, and is working with the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) to compensate for the wetland. Comment Conforms to the Intent of the Official Plan The subject property is designated “Employment Areas – General Employment” within the Brock Industrial neighbourhood. The General Employment designation permits a range of industrial uses including warehousing, storage of goods and materials, waste transfer, and recycling and waste processing. Staff is of the opinion that the requested variances maintain the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan. Conforms to the Intent of the Zoning By-law The subject property is zoned “M2S – Yard Storage and Heavy Manufacturing Zone” under Zoning By-law 2511, as amended by By-law 61/74. Requested Accessory Structures in the Side Yard Miller Waste Systems Inc. is seeking to permit six detached accessory structures in the north side yard, including two storage bunkers and four above-ground storage tanks, whereas section 5.19 (a) of By-law 2511 requires any accessory structures to be located in the rear yard. The intent this by-law provision is to minimize the visual impact to adjacent properties and the streetscape. The subject site has an existing landscape buffer along Squires Beach Road that would screen the proposed accessory structures, which will be located far away from the street. For these reasons, the structures would have a minimal visual impact to the streetscape in the east. The subject site is in the middle of an industrial block and surrounded by non-sensitive land uses that would have minimal visual impact from the proposed structures. The north side yard of the site is currently used for outdoor storage, which the proposed bunkers will help organize by sheltering leaf and yard waste storage. Furthermore, the bunkers and storage tanks will be screened from the adjacent north property by another existing landscape buffer that is located along the north lot line. There is no visual impact to the neighbouring property to the south, as the north side yard is fully screened from view. There is minimal impact to the adjacent lands -23- Report MV 73/24 December 11, 2024 Page 3 to the west because they are vacant, subject to a rail line buffer that limits development, and the proposed accessory structures are buffered from the west by a truck maneuvering lane that runs along the west property line. Staff is of the opinion that the proposed variance to permit accessory structures in the north side yard is appropriate for the existing uses, will have a minimal visual impact on the streetscape and surrounding land owners, and is in keeping with the general intent of the By-law. Requested Parking Reduction The applicant is seeking to permit a reduced parking requirement of 226 parking spaces, whereas section 5.21.1.3 of By-law 2511 requires 1 space per 56 square metres of industrial gross floor area (257 parking spaces in total). The intent of this provision is to minimize traffic impacts to the industrial neighbourhood and to ensure there is sufficient parking for the user of the site. As mentioned in the Background Section above, the applicant is amending a Site Plan Agreement by reducing the approved floor space, and increasing the number of parking spaces. The table below summarizes the proposed changes to the Site Plan: Total Floor Space (After Expanding) Parking Provided Parking Required by By-law Currently Approved 15,792 square metres 154 parking spaces (1 space per 102 square metres of floor space) 282 parking spaces (1 space per 56 square metres of floor space) Proposed 14,399 square metres 226 parking spaces (1 space per 64 square metres of floor space) 257 parking spaces (1 space per 56 square metres of floor space) Change -971 square metres +72 parking spaces The requested variance brings the provided parking rate closer to the by-law requirement and the applicant is meeting the accessible parking requirement by providing seven accessible spaces. The applicant provided a Traffic Impact Study as part of the submission, which concludes that the increased parking will more than accommodate the parking needs of the waste management facility, which is expected to employ 186 staff after all expansions are completed. Additionally, the expanded facilities and increased parking is expected to generate approximately four or five additional trips per hour, and will have virtually no traffic impact to the surrounding industrial road network. Staff is of the opinion that the requested variance to permit a parking reduction supports the planned expansion of the waste service facility without impacting on -site parking or the surrounding road network, and maintains the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law. -24- Report MV 73/24 December 11, 2024 Page 4 Desirable for the Appropriate Development of the Land and Minor in Nature The requested variance will allow for better organization and functionality of the site by permitting accessory structures in an area of the site that will have minimum impact to the surrounding properties and streetscape. The additional parking will allow for increased employment as the waste management facility expands to serve the needs of residents as Durham Region grows. The applicant has worked with TRCA on removing an identified wetland on the east side of the property. The removal of the wetland feature has been reviewed and is agreed to, in principle, by TRCA and Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry. The proposed structures complement the existing uses on-site. The proposed variances will collectively support the efficient operations of the facility on and off the site. Staff is of the opinion that the proposed variances are desirable for the appropriate development of the land and are minor in nature.

Krishnan & V. Sinnathamby 1461 Old Forest Road Application The applicant requests relief from Zoning By-law 3036, as amended by By-law 7874/21, to permit: •a maximum dwelling depth of 23.9 metres, whereas the By-law requires a maximum dwelling depth of 20.0 metres; •a minimum front yard setback of 12.1 metres, whereas the By-law requires a minimum front yard setback (as determined by the adjacent lot to the north) of 19.5 metres; •a maximum dwelling height of 10.5 metres, whereas the By-law requires a maximum dwelling height of 9.0 metres; and •a maximum driveway width of 9.2 metres, whereas the By-law requires a maximum driveway width of 6.0 metres. The applicant requests approval of these variance s in order to obtain a building permit to construct a new detached dwelling. Recommendation For your information, and based solely on the application and supporting documentation filed by the applicant, the City Development Department has reviewed the application with respect to Section 45(1) of the Planning Act and considers the requested variances to be minor in nature, desirable for the appropriate development of the land, and in keeping with the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan and the Zoning By -law. After considering all public and agency input, should the Committee find merit in this application, the following condition is recommended: 1.That these variances apply only to the proposed detached dwelling, as generally sited and outlined on the applicant’s submitted plans (refer to Exhibits 2, 3, 4 & 5). -30- Report MV 76/24 December 11, 2024 Page 2 Comment General Intent and Purpose of the Official Plan The subject site is designated Urban Residential Areas – Low Density Area within the Woodlands Neighbourhood. The applicant is proposing to demolish an existing residential dwelling and proposes to construct a detached dwelling. Official Plan Policy 12.8(a) encourages new development to be compatible with the character of the existing development along Old Forest Road. The subject property is located within the Rougemount Established Neighbourhood Precinct. OPA 40 implemented the recommendations of the Infill and Replacement Housing in the Established Neighbourhoods Study adding policies regarding building mass, dwelling height, lot width, lot coverage and landscaping, and reinforcing established development patterns. Staff has reviewed and commented on the proposed dwellings using the Council -adopted Urban Design Guidelines for Infill and Replacement Housing in Established Neighbourhood Precincts Checklist, which can be found in Appendix A to this report. Staff is of the opinion that the requested variances maintain the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan and Infill and Replacement Housing in Established Neighbourhoods’ Guidelines. General Intent and Purpose of the Zoning By-law The subject property is zoned “R4” – Detached Residential under Zoning By-law 3036, as amended by Infill By-law 7874/21. A detached dwelling along with accessory uses are permitted. Maximum Dwelling Depth and Minimum Front Yard Setback Dwelling Depth is the measurement of the distance between the required minimum Front Yard Setback and the rear of the dwelling, which is a measure of how deep a dwelling protrudes into a lot. The intent of requiring a maximum dwelling depth of 20.0 metres is to provide for consistent placement of rear walls on neighbouring properties, and to reduce potential shadowing, massing and privacy impacts on adjacent dwellings and rear yards. The applicant is requesting a maximum dwelling depth of 23.9 metres, whereas the By-law permits 20.0 metres. The minimum front yard setback requirement for 1461 Old Forest Road is 19.5 metres, which is determined by the existing setback of the neighbouring property to the north (1463 Old Forest Road). The existing lot arrangement along Old Forest Road is staggered, resulting in each dwelling having slightly offset front yard setbacks. The applicant intends to maintain existing vegetation within the side yards to help reduce the visual impact on the adjacent lots. The proposed placement of the dwelling maintains the general character and consistency of the existing block of development along the east side of Old Forest Road. Staff is of the opinion that the requested variance to permit a maximum dwelling depth of 23.9 metres and a minimum front yard setback of 12.1 metres maintains the general intent and purpose of the Infill By-law. -31- Report MV 76/24 December 11, 2024 Page 3 Maximum Dwelling Height The applicant is requesting a maximum dwelling height of 10.5 metres, whereas the By -law permits a maximum dwelling height of 9.0 metres. The intent of this provision is to regulate the scale of the proposed buildings and to reduce potential shadowing and overlooking impacts to the adjacent dwellings. Under the Infill By-law, dwelling height is measured by the vertical distance between the average grade as measured along the front wall of the dwelling . The existing lot, along with the adjacent lots, has a significant increase in grade from the streetline towards the rear property line. Due to the significant changes in grade along the east side of Old Forest Road, an increased dwelling height appears along the front wall of the proposed dwelling. According to the site plan, the dwelling’s front wall has a geodetic elevation of approximately 115 metres, while the rear wall has a geodetic elevation of approximately 118 metres. From the front wall, the dwelling will have a maximum height of 10.5 metres, whereas along the rear wall, the dwelling will have a maximum height of 7 .0 metres. From the street, the dwelling appears to be three stories above grade, but at the rear, it is only two stories above grade. The proposed dwelling height will not negatively impact the adjacent development. Existing vegetation will be maintained to reduce any visual and shadowing impacts on the adjacent lots. Staff is of the opinion that the requested variance is in keeping with the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law. Maximum Driveway Width The intent of requiring a maximum driveway width is to ensure sufficient space is maintained in the front yard for landscaping, to accommodate grading and drainage, and to maintain the character of the street. The widest portion of the driveway is measured at 9.2 metres and tapers down to a maximum width of 6.0 metres at the front property line. Overall, the applicant has proposed a total area of 115 square metres of soft landscaping within the front yard, which will allow sufficient space for landscaping a nd appropriate drainage. Staff is of the opinion that the requested variance is in keeping with the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By -law. Desirable for the Appriopriate Development of the Land and Minor in Nature The requested variances will facilitate the construction of a two-storey detached dwelling on the subject property. The proposed development will feature a built form similar to the existing development along Old Forest Road, which consists of dwellings with greater setbacks. The proposed placement of the dwelling generally maintains the consistent streetscape and is compatible with the existing development along Old Forest Road. Due to the significant increase in the lot grading from the front property line towards the rear of the property restricts the configuration of a home on the subject site. The applicant has advised that the front yard variance is being sought to ensure the proposed detached dwelling is positioned in line with the neighbouring properties and dwellings, which are generally staggered along Old Forest Road. Staff is of the opinion that the requested variances are desirable for the appropriate development of the land and are minor in nature. -32- Report MV 76/24 December 11, 2024 Page 4 Input From Other Sources Applicant • The configuration of the lot makes compliance with zoning provisions difficult to comply with. The road is diagonal to the lot frontage. The grade of the property at the rear is higher than the front portion of the lot. Engineering Services •Ensure the proposed dwelling depth, reduced front yard setback, and increased driveway width (if approved with this application) does not adversely affect the drainage patterns within the lots and surrounding area. •Multiple Low Impact Development measures (such as infiltration galleries with downspout connections, rain gardens and 450mm amended soils) will be required at the Building Permit stage. Building Services •No concerns from Building Services, permit application is on hold until Committee’s decision. Public Input •No written submissions have been received from the public as of the date of writing this report.

The applicant requests approval of these minor variance applications to obtain building permits to construct five residential units located within a block townhouse. Recommendation For your information and based solely on the applications and supporting documentation filed by the applicant, the City Development Department has reviewed the applications with respect to Section 45(1) of the Planning Act and considers the requested variances to be minor in nature, desirable for the appropriate development of the land, and in keeping with the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan and the Zoning By-law. After considering all public and agency input, should the Committee find merit in these applications, the following condition is recommended: 1. That these variances apply only to the proposed development, as generally sited and outlined on the applicant’s submitted plans (refer to Exhibits 2 & 3). Comment General Intent and Purpose of the Official Plan The subject property is designated “Urban Residential – Medium Density Area” within the Lamoureaux Neighbourhood. Residential uses including townhouses are permitted within this designation. Staff is of the opinion that the requested variance maintains the intent of the Official Plan. General Intent and Purpose of the Zoning By-law The subject property is zoned “MD-M”, under Zoning By-law 7364/14, as amended by By-law 7857/21. Block and Street Townhouse dwellings are permitted uses on lands zoned MD-M. The intent of the maximum rear yard setback of 7.5 metres between the attached private garage and the rear lot line is to ensure a vehicle parked outside on the driveway does not overhang onto the municipal boulevard. The minimum and maximum rear yard setbacks provide enough space for a single vehicle to be parked on the driveway, without overhang. -40- Report MV 77/24 to MV 81/24 December 11, 2024 Page 3 The requested variances are to permit maximum rear yard setbacks ranging between 8.5 and 15.8 metres between the proposed private garages and the rear lot lines. Staff are of the opinion that the proposed setbacks will provide enough space for one or two vehicles to be parked on the driveways, without creating overhang onto the municipal boulevards. The requested increase in maximum rear yard setback can provide appropriate access to the dwelling, and it can accommodate sufficient space for parking a vehicle entirely within the lot. Furthermore, the depth of the lot would require an overall increase in dwelling length, which would be required to meet the maximum front and rear yard setback requirements of the By-law provisions. The applicant has stated that the increase in square footage is beyond what would be affordable for a townhouse. Staff is of the opinion that the requested variance maintains the intent of the Zoning By-law. Desirable for the Appropriate Development of the Land and Minor in Nature The applicant is requesting a variance to permit an increased maximum rear yard setback to an attached private garage accessed by a laneway. The maximum setback will allow appropriate setback to the laneway and will accommodate sufficient space to park a vehicle. Staff is of the opinion that the requested variance is desirable for the appropriate development of land and is minor in nature. Input From Other Sources Applicant •The depth of the lot will require that the dwellings be increased in length to meet the maximum front yard setback for 4.5 metres and rear yard setback of 7.5 metres. The increase in square footage is beyond what would be affordable for townhouse.
