Planning: Consent application B019/17 seeks approval for the severance of a parcel of land having an approximate lot area of 599 square metres (6, 447.58 square feet). The lands fronting onto Puccini Drive in the R6 Zone will facilitate the creation of one additional single detached lot combined with the adjacent land to the east. This future lot has been deemed as a lot within Zoning By-law 5-17 which was passed by Council on May 11, 2017 (Town File No. D02-16013). The applicant has deposited Committee of Adjustment - May 25, 2017 Page 15
a Reference Plan to describe the lands. The legal description has been incorporated into the approved Zoning By-law as the lands described as Part of Lots 11 and 12 Plan M-807, designated as parts 1 to 6 on PLAN 65R-36879, municipally known as 67 Puccini Drive and a portion of 65A Puccini Drive. The Consent application would facilitate the creation of four additional low density lots that continues the pattern of development that has commenced in this area and conforms to the Council approved infill study for this area (the Puccini Drive Infill Study). The proposed severance is considered appropriate as it will not create any zoning deficiencies as a result of the consent, is consistent with the existing and new development patterns in the surrounding area; and does not preclude the development of surrounding lands. Based on the aforementioned, Planning staff are satisfied that the proposed consent complies with the criteria listed under subsection 51(24) of the Planning Act; therefore, recommends approval of Consent application B019/17. Development Engineering: The Development Engineering Division has reviewed the above noted application and recommends the inclusion of provisional conditions of consent as indicated herein: The Development Engineering Section has reviewed the subject application and based the materials submitted and our findings we have no concerns or objections, at this time. Notwithstanding the above, such an application is subject to detailed lot grading plan submission, subsequent review and revision (if required) as part of the Building Permit Application process, and adherence to the Town s Lot grading standards.

Committee of Adjustment Staff Report Agenda Item: D Hearing Date: May 25, 2017 Time: 7:00 p.m. Location: 225 East Beaver Creek Road, 1 st Floor (Council Chambers) Application Information: Consent Application B020/17 Related Applications: A028/17 & A029/17 Subject Land: 71 Harding Boulevard Name of Owner: Mostafa Molla-Bagheri Name of Agent: Morteza Molla-Bagheri The Request: To sever a parcel of land for residential purposes, approximately 13.41 metres (44.00 feet) by 43.24 metres (141.86 feet), approximately 579.76 square metres (6,240.48 square feet) and retain a parcel of land approximately 13.41 metres (44.00 feet) by 43.24 metres (141.86 feet), approximately 579.76 square metres (6,240.48 square feet). The severed and retained lands will have frontage onto Harding Boulevard and the existing single family dwelling is to be demolished. Present Designation: Official Plan: Neighbourhood Zoning Classification: Residential Second Density (R2) Zone Zoning By-law: By-law No. 66-71, as amended Zoning Provisions: Minimum Lot Frontage: 15.24 metres (50.0 feet) Minimum Lot Area: 464.52 square metres (5,000.0 square feet) Minimum Front Yard Setback: Established Building Line Minimum Interior Side Yard Setback: 2.11 metres (6.92 feet) Minimum Rear Yard Setback: 7.62 metres (25.0 feet) Maximum Lot Coverage: 30% Maximum Gross Floor Area: Calculated as per Net Lot Frontage Maximum Building Height: 8.50 metres (27.89 feet) Please Note: The above noted zoning provisions are only the general standards for this zone and are provided for the reference of the Members of the Committee of Adjustment. Full compliance with all applicable zoning standards is the responsibility of the landowner and must be ensured prior to the issuance of any building permits based upon the submission of a detailed full set of building plans. Committee of Adjustment - May 25, 2017 Page 23
Site Conditions: The subject lands are located on the north side of Harding Boulevard, east of Yonge Street, south of Major Mackenzie Drive. The lands currently support a 1.5 storey single detached dwelling, which is proposed to be demolished to facilitate the severance and construction of two new single detached dwellings on the subject lands. Committee of Adjustment: This application was circulated to the commenting departments and agencies on May 1, 2017. Public notice was mailed on May 11, 2017. The applicant confirmed posting of public notice sign in accordance with the Planning Act on May 11, 2017. Previous and/or Concurrent applications on the subject lands: B001/16 New Lot Consent Lapsed A008/16 Side Yard Setbacks (east & west), maximum gross floor area, lot coverage, building height and lot frontage Approved (lapsed with B001/16) A009/16 - Side Yard Setbacks (east & west), maximum gross floor area, lot coverage, building height and lot frontage Approved (lapsed with B001/16) A028/17 Concurrent Application A029/17 Concurrent Application Note: Future Development of the subject land may occur in accordance with the provisions of the Town s Zoning By-law. Architectural design as shown on any elevation drawings and floor plans is provided for information purposes only and does not form part of the Committee s decision. Planning & Regulatory Services Department Building / Zoning: The proposed consent application will not create areas of non-compliance with respect to the Zoning By-law, provided the following clause be added as a condition of consent: 1. That the Owner apply to and receive from the Council of the Town of Richmond Hill demolition approval pursuant to Demolition Control By-law No. 15-90 and that the Owner demolish all buildings and/or structures and remove all debris to the satisfaction of the Chief Building Official or; that the Owner make arrangements satisfactory to the Chief Building Official to demolish all buildings and/or structures and remove all debris to his satisfaction. Planning: The applicant is seeking approval to sever the subject lands in order to create one additional building lot for residential purposes with frontage onto Harding Boulevard. Both the severed and retained lots will measure 13.41 metres (44.0 feet) by 43.24 metres (141.9 feet), approximately 579.76 square metres (6,240.48 square feet). The applicant previously applied for a Consent to create the same two lots through applications B001/16 and A008/16 and A009/16. On March 17, 2016, the Committee approved these applications, with standard conditions. It is Staff s understanding that the applicant was unable to meet all the Consent conditions within the specified time frame, resulting in lapsing of the Consent approval. The related Minor Variance Committee of Adjustment - May 25, 2017 Page 24
applications were for relief relating to the proposed lot sizes and to the proposed homes to be built on the two lots. On the basis that the current Consent application is the same as the Committee approved in 2016, the current application (B020/17) is supported. Minor Variance applications A028/17 and A029/17 are largely the same as previous applications A008/16 and A009/16. The requested relief for Minimum Lot Frontage, Maximum Lot Coverage, Maximum Gross Floor Area and Minimum Side Yards has not changed. The requested relief for Maximum Building Height has increased from that requested and approved in 2016. Specifically: Application A028/17 severed (west) lot requests a Maximum Building Height of 10.68 metres (35.04 feet), whereas application A008/16, for the same lot, was approved with a Maximum Building Height of 9.99 metres (32.77 feet). The current proposed dwelling is therefore 0.69 metres (2.26 feet) higher than the previous proposed dwelling. Application A029/17 retained (east) lot requests a Maximum Building Height of 10.74 metres (35.24 feet), whereas application A009/16, for the same lot, was approved with a Maximum Building Height of 10.06 metres (33.0 feet). The current proposed dwelling is therefore 0.68 metres (2.23 feet) higher than the previous proposed dwelling. The requested variances for both the retained and severed parcels are considered to be appropriate. The surrounding lot fabric includes a range of lot sizes and has been subject to infill development of a similar nature. Staff therefore considers the proposal appropriate and does not foresee any negative impacts from the proposed variances in regards to lot fabric and character of the surrounding area. The proposal meets the four tests described under Section 45(1) of the Planning Act for the evaluation of minor variance proposals: the requested relief from the by-law, as proposed, is minor in nature, is desirable for the development of the land, and meets the general intent of the applicable zoning by-law and of the Town s Official Plan. Development Engineering: The Development Engineering Division has reviewed the above noted application and recommends the inclusion of provisional conditions of consent as indicated herein: The Development Engineering Section has reviewed the subject application and based the materials submitted and our findings we have no concerns or objections, at this time. Notwithstanding the above, such an application is subject to detailed lot grading plan submission, subsequent review and revision (if required) as part of the Building Permit Application process, and adherence to the Town s Lot grading standards.
