3 22 COMITÉ DE L URBANISME zone résidentielle de densité 2, sous-zone N (R2N), zone résidentielle de densité 3, sous-zone Z, exception 1837 (R3Z[1837]), zone résidentielle de densité 2, sous-zone P, exception 703 (R2P[703]), zone de petites institutions, sous-zone B (I1B), et zone de parc et d'espace vert 1 (O1), comme l illustre le Document 1 et le précise le Document 2. BACKGROUND The subject property is within the Fernbank Community Design Plan lands as approved by Official Plan Amendment 77. The site lies south of the Hydro Corridor and TransCanada Trail (Abbott Street extension), east of Shea Road and the future North South Arterial Road, west of Terry Fox Drive and north of Fernbank Road. Much of the land has been cultivated or is abandoned farm land. The rezoning will only apply to a portion of the applicant s holdings within the Fernbank Community and specifically those lands they are looking to register in their first two phases of the draft plan of subdivision under application D Purpose of Zoning Amendment The rezoning would permit the proposed uses contemplated within the plan of subdivision filed under application D It would permit 222 single family homes, six blocks for street townhomes, a proposed school site and that portion of the stormwater block within this subdivision. Existing Zoning The current Development Reserve zone (DR) recognizes that the area was included within Official Plan Amendment 77 as General Urban Area. Proposed Zoning The proposal would rezone the Phase 1 and Phase 2 lands of the draft approved subdivision from Development Reserve to permit 62 single family homes in a Residential Second Density Subzone N (R2N), 60 single lots and six blocks for street townhomes under a Residential Third Density Subzone Z Exception 1837 (R3Z[1837]), 100 single lots under a Residential Second Density Subzone P Exception 703 (R2P[703]), a proposed school site under a Minor Institutional Subzone B (I1B), and Open Space Subzone 1 zone (O1) for that portion of the stormwater block within this subdivision. The balance of the subdivision will remain zoned Development Reserve (DR) and will be subject to future development applications including zoning, site plan and possibly re-subdivision or condominium.

4 23 COMITÉ DE L URBANISME DISCUSSION Official Plan and Fernbank Community Design Plan The lands are designated in Schedule B of the Official Plan as General Urban, which contemplates a range of residential uses as well as schools and open space uses. The mix and density of residential dwellings looks to achieve 45 per cent to 55 per cent of the units as single detached, at least 10 per cent apartment dwellings and the remainder multiple dwellings such a townhomes. The Official Plan also contemplates the overall residential development will meet a minimum average density target of 34 units per net hectare. The Fernbank Community Design Plan shows the subject lands as a mix of low and medium density residential uses. It also includes a school and a part of a stormwater management facility. The road layout and the distribution of medium density residential blocks differ slightly from the Demonstration Plan within the Community Design Plan but meet the policies and intent of that plan. The range of housing forms and residential densities proposed in these first two phases is not consistent with the density and apartment targets of the Official Plan; however, those objectives will be met within the overall context of the Fernbank Community Design Plan. Details of Proposed Zoning The rezoning would permit the proposed uses contemplated within the plan of subdivision application. Specifically, it would zone: 1) The 62 single family dwelling lots to a Residential Second Density Subzone N. The R2N has a standard front yard setback of five metres and a minimum lot area of 270 square metres. 2) 100 single lots are to be zoned Residential Second Density Subzone P Exception 703 (R2P[703]). The singles would have nine metre lot widths, 270 square metre minimum lot areas and four metre front yard setbacks. 3) 60 single lots and six blocks for street townhomes are to be zoned Residential Third Density Subzone Z Exception 1837 (R3Z[1837]). The singles will have lot frontage of 9 metres, minimum lot areas of 240 square metres and front yard setbacks of 3 metres. The street townhomes would have lot widths of six metres, minimum lot areas of 150 square metres and front yard setbacks of three metres. The exception specifies that the attached garage/carport must be back 6.2 metres from a sidewalk. 4) The proposed school site would be zoned Minor Institutional Subzone B (I1B). 5) The stormwater management block will be zoned Open Space (O1). Overall, the proposed zones meet the intent of the Official Plan and Community Design Plan with respect to the range of permitted residential uses and the open space uses. The subject lands do not contain sensitive marine clay soils and the reduced front yard setback would not adversely impact the ability to plant street trees or trees within the front yards of the residences.

5 24 COMITÉ DE L URBANISME Servicing Issues Water, sanitary and stormwater capacity are required to be extended and are to be provided by the applicant or through the Fernbank owner s group agreement. Servicing for these lands has been demonstrated to be possible through the conceptual servicing report and the draft plan of subdivision process. Concurrent Application There is a plan of subdivision under file D which is draft approved. Summary The zoning amendment will permit development of a type and density that complies with the intent of the Community Design Plan. The exception to the subzone requested will allow for trees in the streetscape of the subdivision and allow for some variety in building height in the singles and street townhouses and variety of model type for the street townhouses. The Department supports the Zoning By-law amendment application and recommends that it be approved. RURAL IMPLICATIONS There are no rural implications associated with this report.
