A TRCA Permit will be required for any future structures located to the east and north of the pole barn. Based on the above, TRCA staff have no objections to the variance which recognizes this existing structure. Charlie Wilson, agent, was present to represent the application. No further representation was present in favour of or in objection to the application. Charlie Wilson outlined the application and the history of the subject property. In response to questions from Committee Members, Charlie Wilson stated the pole barn was constructed approximately 5 to 6 years ago by the previous owner, the pole barn is used for storage only; no machines (such as lifts or hoists) are in the barn and it has a concrete floor. After considering the City Development’s report and understanding the dual zoning on the subject property; the size of the parcel and that the pole barn only takes up about 0.5 percent of the lot coverage; no complaints received; only being used for storage; not located in a TRCA regulated area and the application appears to meet the four tests of the Planning Act, Denise Rundle moved the following motion: -5- Committee of Adjustment Meeting Minutes Wednesday, November 11, 2020 7:00 pm Electronic Meeting Page 6 of 6 Moved by Denise Rundle Seconded by Sean Wiley That application P/CA 64/20 by S. & S.

Washington 1674 Dellbrook Avenue Application The applicant requests relief from Zoning By-law 3036, as amended by By-law 2024/85 and By-law 2235/86, to permit an uncovered platform (deck) and associated steps not exceeding 2.45 metres in height above grade and not projecting more than 2.8 metres into the required rear yard and not more than 1.2 metres in the required south side yard, whereas the By-law requires uncovered steps or platforms not exceeding 1.0 metre in height above grade and not projecting more than 1.5 metres into any required front or rear yard and not more than 0.5 metres into any required side yard. The applicant requests approval of these variances in order to obtain a building permit to revise a constructed uncovered deck. Recommendation The City Development Department 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, and therefore recommends Approval of the proposed variances, subject to the following condition: 1.That these variances apply only to the proposed uncovered deck and associated steps, as generally sited and outlined on the applicant’s submitted plans (refer to Exhibit 2). Background The Committee of Adjustment deferred this application to the December 9, 2020 Committee of Adjustment meeting to allow the applicant to submit a revised deck proposal. Original Deck Proposal The original uncovered deck was constructed by the applicant without a building permit. A complaint was made to the City of Pickering By-law Services regarding privacy concerns with the deck. As such, the applicant submitted a minor variance application to permit a deck and associated steps not exceeding 2.45 metres in height above grade and not projecting more than 3.8 metres into the required rear yard and not more than 1.2 metres in the required south side yard. -7- Report P/CA 63/20 December 9, 2020 Page 2 Revised Deck Proposal The applicant has revised the proposal to reduce the depth of the deck by 1.0 metre, to help mitigate concerns with privacy. As such, the requested variances have been revised to permit a deck and associated steps not exceeding 2.45 metres in height above grade and not projecting more than 2.8 metres into the required rear yard and not more than 1.2 metres in the required south side yard. Comments Conforms to the Intent of the Official Plan and Zoning By-law The subject site is designated Urban Residential Areas – Low Density Area within the Brock Ridge Neighbourhood. Detached dwellings are a permitted use within the designation and a built form within the Brock Ridge Neighbourhood. The subject site is zoned S1 within Zoning By-law 3036, as amended by By-law 2024/85 and By-law 2235/86. The applicant is proposing to revise a constructed uncovered deck that is 2.45 metres in height above grade and connects to the rear first floor entrance of the dwelling. Due to the irregular shape of the lot, the proposed deck is setback 4.9 metres from the north portion of the rear lot line, and 4.7 metres from the south portion of the rear lot line (see Exhibit 2). The associated steps are setback 0.0 metres from the south side lot line. The intent of restricting the height of decks to 1.0 metre above grade is to protect the privacy of abutting properties. Due to the drop in grade from the front lot line to the rear lot line, a greater height is required to provide access from the rear first floor entrance to the deck. A number of properties to the north and south have existing decks much greater than 1.0 metre in height, and appear to be in line with the height of the proposed deck. The intent of restricting the rear yard projection to 1.5 metres is to maintain sufficient amenity space in the rear yard. The requested variance is intended to facilitate the reconstruction of a deck that will contribute towards the total usable amenity space in the rear yard. Further, the proposal to reduce the depth of the deck by 1.0 metre will allow for a greater amenity space at grade, and will help mitigate concerns with privacy. The intent of restricting the side yard projection to 0.5 metres is to provide an appropriate separation distance between structures for pedestrian access, and to accommodate grading and drainage. Considering the deck is located 2.45 metres above grade, there is sufficient room underneath the deck to accommodate pedestrian movement. Engineering Services do not anticipate any grading or drainage issues a result of the deck. Desirable for the Appriopriate Development of the Land and Minor in Nature The proposed deck intends to enhance the outdoor amenity space in the rear yard of the property. Furthermore, the applicant has revised the proposal to reduce the depth of the deck by 1.0 metre, to help mitigate concerns with privacy. -8- Report P/CA 63/20 December 9, 2020 Page 3 The abutting property to the south has a deck that is setback approximately 4.6 metres from the rear lot line. The abutting property to the north has a deck that is setback approximately 4.9 metres from the rear lot line. The revised deck proposal is setback a minimum of 4.7 metres from the rear lot line, which is in keeping with the setback of decks on abutting properties. The requested variances are not anticipated to have any significant impact on the surrounding area and are therefore considered minor in nature. Conclusion Staff is of the opinion that the requested variances to permit the construction of an uncovered deck and associated steps are desirable for the appropriate development of land, maintain the intent and purpose of the Official Plan and Zoning By-law, and are minor in nature.

The applicant requests approval of these variances in order to obtain a building permit for a detached dwelling. Recommendation The City Development Department recommends that Minor Variance Application P/CA 65/20 be Tabled to allow the applicant to consider design elements that address the Urban Design Guidelines for Infill and Replacement Housing in Established Neighbourhood Precincts. -12- Report P/CA 65/20 December 9, 2020 Page 2 Background Existing Conditions The subject property and existing dwelling do not conform to the zoning provisions in the By-law. To conform to the By-law, variances would be required for lot area, lot frontage, front, rear and side yard setbacks, and lot coverage. Encroachment Agreement There appears to be a registered Encroachment Agreement (V9705) on title with the subject property, as the existing dwelling is located beyond the east property boundary and encroaches onto a City-owned right-of-way. Urban Design Guidelines for Infill and Replacement Housing in Established Neighbourhood Precincts City Council recently endorsed the recommendations of the Infill and Replacement Housing in Established Neighbourhoods Study (the ‘Study’). This Study provides direction on the future evolution of the City’s identified established neighbourhood precincts so that neighbourhood precinct character is properly considered through the development and building approval processes. In addition, Council adopted Urban Design Guidelines for Infill and Replacement Housing in Established Neighbourhood Precincts to support and enhance neighbourhood precinct characteristics. City staff are preparing an Official Plan Amendment and a Zoning By-law Amendment to implement the recommendations of the Study to help ensure that the redevelopment of residential lots are consistent with the existing neighbourhood precinct character. Staff have reviewed the proposal against the Urban Design Guidelines for Infill and Replacement Housing in Established Neighbourhood Precincts Checklist (the ‘Checklist’), which can be found as Attachment 1 to this report. While staff recognize that development on the subject site is greatly restricted as a result of the existing size of the lot, staff note that the proposed replacement dwelling does not adequately address items 1, 3, and 12 of the Checklist. Items 1 and 3 indicate the roof pitch of a new home should be compatible with the shapes of surrounding houses and for buildings with the highest point above 8.5 metres, the roof should be limited to two storeys and sloped back from adjacent houses. The proposed dwelling is 8.84 metres at its highest point and has a flat roof. Item 12 requires greater yard setbacks to mitigate shadows on adjacent dwellings. An examination of the effects of potential shadows cast by the proposed dwelling on the adjacent properties to the west and north has not been undertaken. Staff consider the proposed Minor Variance Application to be premature as the proposed replacement dwelling does not satisfactorily address items 1, 3, and 12 of the Checklist. It is recommended that the Minor Variance Application be Tabled to allow the applicant to consider design elements that address items 1, 3, and 12 of the Checklist. -13- Report P/CA 65/20 December 9, 2020 Page 3 Input From Other Sources Date of report: December 2, 2020 Comments prepared by: Isabel Lima Deborah Wylie, MCIP, RPP Planner I Manager, Zoning & Administration IL:jc J:\Documents\Development\D-3700 Committee of Adjustment (PCA Applications)\2020\PCA 65-20 4AMCA Enterprises Ltd\7.

Owner of 660 Pleasant Street (neighbour to the north) •Concerns with the proposed rear yard setback of 1.6 metres, as the tall dwelling will tower over my side yard. The dwelling has a number of windows proposed at the rear of the dwelling that will look into my home. •The proposed height and lot coverage are not in line with the size of the lot. An appropriate lot should have been considered for a structure such as this. •Concerns with privacy and the height of the building and the roof terrace, as most homes in the area are bungalows or 2-storey dwellings. A third-floor balcony in this location will look into several surrounding yards. •The modern design with a flat roof and rooftop balcony are not in keeping with the style of dwellings in the surrounding streets. The ongoing Infill Study is looking to regulate roof pitch and design. -14- City of Pickering Established Neighbourhood Precincts Urban Design Checklist Please note, if you mark “no” below please provide your rational in the adjacent “Comments” section either supporting, or not supporting the proposal. 1.

Date: Nov 19, 2020 -22- Report to Committee of Adjustment Application Number: P/CA 67/20 Date: December 9, 2020 From: Deborah Wylie, MCIP, RPP Manager, Zoning & Administration Subject: Committee of Adjustment Application P/CA 67/20 P. Rahaman 1806 Westcreek Drive Application The applicant requests relief from Zoning By-law 3036, as amended by By-law 2224/86, to permit an uncovered platform (deck) not exceeding 1.1 metres in height above grade and not projecting more than 3.5 metres into the required rear yard, whereas the By-law permits uncovered steps and platforms not exceeding 1.0 metre in height above grade and not projecting more than 1.5 metres into any required front or rear yard and not more than 0.5 metres into any required side yard. The applicant requests approval of this variance in order to obtain a building permit for an uncovered deck. Recommendation The City Development Department 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, and therefore recommends Approval of the proposed variances, subject to the following condition: 1. That these variances apply only to the proposed uncovered deck, as generally sited and outlined on the applicant’s submitted plans (refer to Exhibits 2 & 3). Comment Conforms to the Intent of the Official Plan and Zoning By-law The subject site is designated Urban Residential Areas – Low Density Area within the Highbush Neighbourhood. Detached dwellings are a permitted use within the designation and a built form within the Highbush Neighbourhood. The subject site is zoned S3 within Zoning By-law 3036, as amended by By-law 2224/86. The applicant is proposing to reconstruct an uncovered deck that is 16.7 square metres, is located 1.1 metres above grade, and projects 3.5 metres into the required rear yard. The current deck on the subject property is approximately 32.0 square metres, is located a maximum of 0.9 metres above grade, and projects a maximum of 4.4 metres into the required rear yard. The proposed deck is being reduced significantly in size. -23- Report P/CA 67/20 December 9, 2020 Page 2 The intent of provision 5.7(b), restricting the height of decks to 1.0 metre above grade and the rear yard projection to 1.5 metres, is to protect the privacy of abutting properties and to maintain sufficient amenity space in the rear yard. Due to the drop in grade from the front lot line to the rear lot line, a greater height is required to provide access from the rear first floor entrance of the dwelling to the deck. The neighbouring properties to the north and south appear to have existing decks greater than 1.0 metre in height that connect to the rear first floor entrances. The requested variance is intended to facilitate the construction of an uncovered deck that will contribute towards the total usable amenity space in the rear yard. There is sufficient amenity space to the north and west of the proposed deck. Further, the existing dwelling is setback 7.7 metres from the rear lot line. As such, any replacement deck on the subject site would require a variance to the rear yard. Desirable for the Appriopriate Development of the Land and Minor in Nature The proposed deck is significantly smaller in size compared to the current deck on the subject property, and projects almost a metre less into the required rear yard. The uncovered deck is proposed to be 3.7 metres in depth which is appropriate relative to the size of the dwelling and the property. The proposed deck is not anticipated to have any significant impact on the surrounding area. A height of 1.1 metres and a projection of 3.5 metres is considered minor in nature. Conclusion Staff is of the opinion that the requested variances to permit the construction of an uncovered deck are desirable for the appropriate development of land, maintain the intent and purpose of the Official Plan and Zoning By-law, and are minor in nature.

Wheatle 563 Rougemount Drive Application The applicant requests relief from Zoning By-law 2511, as amended, to permit a maximum lot coverage of 34.0 percent, whereas the by-law establishes a maximum lot coverage of 33.0 percent. The applicant requests approval of this variance in order to facilitate a future Land Division application through the Region of Durham’s Land Division Committee to adjust a lot line. Recommendation The City Development Department considers the requested variance 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, and therefore recommends Approval of the proposed variance, subject to the following conditions: 1. That this variance apply only to the proposed “Part 1”, as generally sited and outlined on the applicant’s submitted plans; 2. That this variance only apply should a Land Division application generally reflecting the applicant’s submitted plans be approved by the Region of Durham Land Division Committee. Comment Conforms to the Intent of the Official Plan and Zoning By-law Pickering’s Official Plan designates the property as “Urban Residential Areas – Low Density Areas” within the Rosebank Neighbourhood. Lands within this designation are intended to accommodate residential uses including single detached dwellings. The property is zoned “R4” as per Zoning By-law 2511, as amended. The intent of the maximum lot coverage of 33.0 percent is to maintain an appropriate amount of amenity area uncovered by buildings on a lot and to regulate the scale and size of the building. The one percent increase in maximum lot coverage is a result of a future Land Division application to -28- Report P/CA 68/20 December 9, 2020 Page 2 adjust a lot line. The applicant proposes to add lands from 563 Rougemount Drive (Part 2, Exhibit 2) to 559 Rougemount Drive. The applicant intends to preserve both the existing detached dwellings. As a result of a reduced lot area for 563 Rougemount Drive (Part 1 on Exhibit 2) a variance is required to increase the permitted maximum lot coverage. An adequate amount of space on the proposed lot will be left uncovered by buildings for sufficient amenity area. An appropriate size and scale of the building will be maintained as the applicant intends to preserve the existing dwelling. Desirable for the Appriopriate Development of the Land The applicant owns both the 563 Rougemount Drive property and the abutting southerly property 559 Rougemount Drive. Through the Region of Durham Land Division Committee, the applicant intends on ultimately establishing a total of three lots. This infill development will meet the lot frontage and lot area requirements of the Zoning By-law, thus representing appropriate infill development of the land. Minor in Nature A one percent increase to the maximum permitted lot coverage will have minimal impact on the subject and the neighbouring properties. The proposed variance is minor in nature. Conclusion Staff is of the opinion that the requested variance to permit a maximum lot coverage of 34.0 percent is desirable for the appropriate development of land, maintains the intent and purpose of the Official Plan and Zoning By-law, and is minor in nature.

The applicant requests approval of this variance in order to permit the conversion of an existing water fountain feature to an outdoor swimming pool accessory to a tavern/patio bar. Recommendation The City Development Department considers the requested variance 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, and therefore recommends Approval of the proposed variance, subject to the following condition: 1. That this variance apply only to the subject property, as generally sited and outlined on the applicant’s submitted plans. Comment Conforms to the Intent of the Official Plan and Zoning By-law Pickering’s Official Plan designates the subject property as “Employment Areas – General Employment” within the Brock Industrial Neighbourhood. The Official Plan contains policies that permits lands within this designation to be used in support of the employment uses within an employment area. The subject property is zoned “M2S” within Zoning By-law 2511, as amended by By-law 3981/71. The site specific By-law permits a combined restaurant and tavern use in addition to the permitted uses under the “M2S” zone at the subject property. Converting the existing fountain to a swimming pool accessory to the tavern use would conform to the intent of the site specific Zoning By-law. -32- Report P/CA 69/20 December 9, 2020 Page 2 Desirable for the Appropriate Development of the Land and Minor in Nature The fountain was originally approved and constructed as an ornamental feature on the patio through Site Plan Application S 02/80 (R16). The fountain will be repurposed into a pool with no additional construction. The outdoor pool will be accessory to an existing permitted use and thus is desirable for the appropriate development of the land and minor in nature. Conclusion Staff is of the opinion that the requested variance to permit an outdoor swimming pool accessory to a tavern/patio bar is desirable for the appropriate development of land, maintains the intent and purpose of the Official Plan and Zoning By-law, and is minor in nature.

The applicant requests approval of these variances in order to obtain Site Plan Approval for stacked townhouses. Recommendation The City Development Department 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, and therefore recommends Approval of the proposed variances (refer to Exhibit 1). Background The applicant has submitted Site Plan and Building Permit applications for the subject property to facilitate a residential condominium development of 96 three-storey stacked townhouse dwelling units. These requested variances are required to obtain Site Plan Approval and full Building Permit Issuance. -36- Report P/CA 70/20 December 9, 2020 Page 2 Comments Conforms to the Intent of the Official Plan The subject site is designated Mixed Use Areas – City Centre within the City Centre Neighbourhood. High density residential development is a permitted use within the City Centre designation. Conforms to the Intent of the Zoning By-law The subject site is zoned CC2 within Zoning By-law 7553/17, as amended. Stacked townhouses are a permitted use within the zone. Air Conditioners A variance is required to permit air conditioners for stacked townhouse units in the front yard of the subject site (facing Kingston Road), whereas the By-law only permits air conditioners to be located in the rear yard, interior side yard or on a balcony or roof. This variance is required as the layout of stacked townhouse buildings is such that the units have a back-to-back configuration. As a result, certain units only have frontage or access to the front of the building, and it is therefore difficult to avoid locating air conditioning units in the front yard (see Exhibit 2). The purpose of restricting the location of air conditioning units is to shield views of the units from the public street and to maintain a high-quality public realm. It is proposed that the air conditioning units located in the front yard facing Kingston Road will be screened with landscaping and a gate (see Exhibit 4). The plantings and gate will help provide a more attractive façade and streetscape. Further, the applicant has stated that the specification on the air conditioning units has been revised to accommodate a smaller slim line model to minimize sightlines from the street. Main Wall Stepback A variance is required to permit no stepback on the main wall of the stacked townhouses abutting Kingston Road, whereas the By-law requires a minimum main wall stepback of 1.5 metres between 4.5 metres and 15.0 metres in height on any building abutting a street line for buildings equal to or less than 37.5 metres in height. The applicant has requested that this proposed variance apply to the entire development and not only for those locations shown on Exhibit 2. This requested variance is a result of an error made during the drafting of Zoning By-law 7553/17. In the 2017 Staff Report to Council (PLN 07-17), a recommendation was made to exempt stacked townhouse dwellings from the stepback provision. Council endorsed staff’s recommendation; however, on adoption of the By-law, the exemption was not included in the enacted By-law. The purpose of a main wall stepback for a building face abutting a street line is to reduce the scale of the building and to allow for an appropriate transition between building heights in the surrounding area. The proposed stacked townhouse dwellings are approximately 10.4 metres in height (3-storeys), which meets the minimum required height of 10.0 metres in the By-law. -37- Report P/CA 70/20 December 9, 2020 Page 3 There are four-storey dwellings to the east of the subject site, three and two-storey commercial buildings to the north, and high-rise apartment buildings to the west. The proposed stacked townhouse dwellings conform to the existing scale of buildings in the surrounding area and allow for an appropriate transition between low, mid and high-rise buildings along Kingston Road. Desirable for the Appriopriate Development of the Land and Minor in Nature The applicant has submitted sufficient information to demonstrate that the location of air conditioning units within the front yard will result in the appropriate development of the land. The proposed dwellings will integrate with the existing scale of buildings in the surrounding area. The requested variances to permit the development are considered minor in nature. Conclusion Staff is of the opinion that the requested variances to permit air conditioners located in the front yard of a lot and a minimum main wall stepback of 0.0 metres on a building face abutting a street line are desirable for the appropriate development of land, maintain the intent and purpose of the Official Plan and Zoning By-law, and are minor in nature.

P/CA 72 /20 (1073 Orenda Street) The applicant requests relief from Zoning By-law 7364/14: • to permit a minimum interior side yard of 0.4 metres from the westerly lot line, whereas the by-law requires a minimum interior side yard of 0.6 metres; • to permit a minimum rear yard of 5.8 metres, whereas the by-law requires a minimum rear yard of 6.0 metres; • to permit eaves and eaves troughs to project up to 0.0 metres from the westerly property line whereas the by-law requires projections of eaves and eaves troughs to project no further than half the distance of the required yard. P/CA 73 /20 (1075 Orenda Street) The applicant requests relief from Zoning By-law 7364/14: • to permit a minimum interior side yard of 0.4 metres from the westerly lot line, whereas the by-law requires a minimum interior side yard of 0.6 metres; • to permit a minimum rear yard of 4.8 metres, whereas the by-law requires a minimum rear yard of 6.0 metres; • to permit eaves and eaves troughs to project up to 0.0 metres from the westerly property line whereas the by-law requires projections of eaves and eaves troughs to project no further than half the distance of the required yard. The applicant requests approval of these variances in order to obtain building permits for three detached dwellings. -43- Report P/CA 71/20 to P/CA 73/20 December 9, 2020 Page 2 Recommendation The City Development Department 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, and therefore recommends Approval of the proposed variances, subject to the following condition: 1. That these variances apply only to the subject properties, as generally sited and outlined on the applicant’s submitted plans (refer to Exhibits 2, 3, & 4). Background The subject applications pertain to three properties within a Draft Plan of Subdivision (SP-2008-03, now registered as 40M-2631) within the Seaton area. The requested variances are a result of an error at the surveying stage, resulting in the misplacement of the foundations of the three subject dwellings. The dwelling at 1975 Orenda Street is near completion while the building foundations have been poured at 1971 and 1973 Orenda Street. Due to the scale and number of zoning deficiencies, the applicant has proposed to adjust the lot lines through a request for exemption for Part Lot Control to minimize the number of variances. The submitted plans show the new lot lines proposed through Part Lot Control. Comment Conforms to the Intent of the Official Plan Pickering’s Official Plan designates the property as “Urban Residential Areas – Low Density Areas” within the Lamoureaux Neighbourhood. Lands within this designation are intended to accommodate residential uses including single detached dwellings. Conforms to the Intent of the Zoning By-law The subject site is zoned LD1 within Zoning By-law 7364/14. Detached dwellings with attached private garages – accessed form a street abutting the front lot line are proposed. Side Yard Setback Variances All 3 properties request a reduction in the minimum required side yard setback from 0.6 of a metre to 0.4 of a metre. The intent of the zoning provision requiring a minimum side yard setback of 1.2 metres on one side and 0.6 metres on the other is to provide appropriate separation between structures on abutting properties, to accommodate drainage and to provide sufficient room for maintenance of the dwelling. A minimum of 1.2 metre is maintained on the easterly side yards of all three properties. A 0.2 metre encroachment into the westerly side yard setback will have minimal impact on the intent of the zoning provision, as the 1.2 metre easterly yard setback will provide adequate space to accommodate the drainage and space for maintenance. A minimum of 1.6 metre separation is maintained between these 3 dwellings and the property immediately west of 1071 Orenda Street. -44- Report P/CA 71/20 to P/CA 73/20 December 9, 2020 Page 3 Rear Yard Setback Variances 1073 and 1075 Orenda Street request variances to the minimum required rear yard setback. The intent of the provision requiring a minimum rear yard setback of 6.0 metres is to ensure that sufficient amenity space is provided in the rear yard and to maintain adequate separation distances. Both dwellings have been constructed on an angle, thus the requested minimum rear yards, 5.8 metres and 4.8 metres respectively, reflect only the corner of the property nearest the rear property line. With regards to 1073 Orenda Street, the westerly corner of the dwelling is setback 6.1 metres from the rear property line whereas the easterly corner of the dwelling is setback 5.8 metres. With regards to 1075 Orenda Street, the westerly corner of the dwelling is setback 5.1 metres from the rear property line whereas the easterly corner of the dwelling is setback 4.8 metres. In both instances, adequate amenity space is maintained in the rear yard and adequate separation distances to neighbouring structures will be maintained. In the same zoning provision that requires a minimum rear yard setback of 6.0 metres, an alternate minimum rear yard setback of 5.0 metres is established if the property is adjacent to the NHS (Natural Heritage System) zone. Although these subject properties do not abut the NHS zone, the 5.0 metre rear yard requirement suggests that the by-law acknowledges it is sufficient to maintain a rear yard amenity area. Eaves and Eaves Troughs Projection Variances All 3 properties request permission to allow the eaves and eaves troughs to project up to 0.0 metres of the property line. The intention of the zoning provision to allow eaves and eaves troughs to project no further than half the distance of the required yard setback is to ensure eaves and overhangs do not encroach onto the adjacent properties, to ensure drainage stays on the subject property, and to minimize the visual impact that their location may have on adjacent properties. The City’s Engineering Services have indicated that there will be no adverse impact to drainage as appropriate stormwater runoff mitigation measures are in place at the subject properties. As previously mentioned, the separation distances between the structures are a minimum of 1.6 metres. As such, despite the eaves or eaves trough projecting to the property line, the dwellings will still maintain adequate separation and the visual impact of the variance will be minimal. Desirable for the Appriopriate Development of the Land and Minor in Nature The requested variances are required to facilitate the construction of three dwellings within a larger residential subdivision. The applicant will submit to the City a request for exemption from Part Lot Control which minimizes the scale and number of variances required on the three properties. Sufficient space on the side and rear yards of the property will be maintained with the adjusted property lines. Adequate space will be maintained for maintenance and amenity purposes. The proposed variances are desirable for the appropriate development of the land and they are minor in nature. -45- Report P/CA 71/20 to P/CA 73/20 December 9, 2020 Page 4 Conclusion Staff is of the opinion that the requested variances are desirable for the appropriate development of land, maintain the intent and purpose of the Official Plan and Zoning By-law, and are minor in nature. Input From Other Sources Engineering Services • After reviewing the overall grading plan, it appears the rear downspouts are going to rain barrels and all other downspouts are connected to a storm/RDC system, so we don’t see an issue with projecting up to 0.0m to the property line.

Recommendation The City Development Department considers the requested variance 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, and therefore recommends Approval of the proposed variance, subject to the following condition: 1. That this variance apply only to the proposed detached dwelling, as generally sited and outlined on the applicant’s submitted plans (refer to Exhibits 2 & 3). Background Minor Variance application P/CA 08/20 was approved for the subject property to permit an interior side yard width of 0.6 of a metre, whereas the by-law requires a minimum of 1.2 metres. During the building permit stage, it was identified that a variance for lot coverage was also required to permit the proposed dwelling. The proposed building footprint has not changed since the approval of P/CA 08/20. -51- Report P/CA 74/20 December 9, 2020 Page 2 Comments Conforms to the Intent of the Official Plan and Zoning By-law The subject site is designated Urban Residential Areas – Low Density Area within the Amberlea Neighbourhood. Detached dwellings are a permitted use within the designation and a built form within the Amberlea Neighbourhood. The subject property is not located within one of the established Neighbourhood Precincts in which the Urban Design Guidelines for the Infill and Replacement Housing in Established Neighbourhoods Study applies. The subject site is zoned S1 within Zoning By-law 3036, as amended by By-law 1929/84. The proposed detached dwelling accounts for a lot coverage of 41 percent, whereas the By-law requires a maximum lot coverage of 38 percent. The intent of this provision is to maintain an appropriate amount of yard space (amenity area) uncovered by buildings on a lot and to regulate the scale and size of the building. The proposed dwelling allows for a large rear yard that exceeds the minimum required rear yard setback of 7.5 metres (proposed rear yard setback of 10.07 metres). Staff is of the opinion that an increase in 3 percent lot coverage is minor and will not result in a great loss of amenity space. Desirable for the Appriopriate Development of the Land and Minor in Nature The size of the proposed dwelling is in keeping with the scale and size of dwellings along Rosebank Road. Further, the request for an increase in lot coverage is based on the exact building footprint that was approved under P/CA 08/20. A three percent increase in the maximum permitted lot coverage will have minimal impact on the subject property and neighbouring properties. Staff consider the requested variance to be minor in nature. Conclusion Staff is of the opinion that the requested variance to permit the construction of a detached dwelling is desirable for the appropriate development of land, maintains the intent and purpose of the Official Plan and Zoning By-law, and is minor in nature. Input From Other Sources Engineering Services • Ensure additional percentage of lot coverage does not adversely affect the drainage patterns within the lot. Consideration for rain harvesting or other LID measures should be made at the Building Permit stage if increasing the imperviousness of the lot surface.
