The proposal conforms to the policies of the Official Plan. Comments: The Planning Department has no objection to Variance #1. In 2004, Vaughan Council directed the Planning Department to review lot coverage standards in R1V Old Village Residential Zones. Development Planning prepared a report comparing the lot coverage standards in Vaughan with other surrounding municipalities. The Planning Department and Committee of Adjustment have supported a maximum of 23% lot coverage for two-storey dwellings, or dwellings in excess of 7.0 m in height. Exceptions where greater lot coverage have been supported is if a covered, unenclosed porch is included in the total lot coverage calculation. The proposed maximum lot coverage is 24% (12.21% for the proposed dwelling, 2.52% for the terrace/deck, and 9.27% for the retractable glass pool enclosure). Therefore, the dwelling is within the maximum allowable lot coverage of 23%, and the Planning Department can support Variance #2. The Planning Department has no objection to Variance #3. The proposed accessory structure is constructed with glass, and maintains a height of 4.5 m at the tallest point, and a large Development Planning Department I City of Vaughan I 2141 Major Mackenzie Drive I Vaughan, ON L6A 1T1 T: 905.832.8585 I F: 905.832.6080 I www.vaughan.ca
Page 2 of 2 portion of the structure maintains a height of 3.5 m. The structure also maintains all required setbacks for accessory structures. The pool enclosure and dwelling together would constitute approximately 21.5% lot coverage. While the accessory structure is not considered livable area (as it is not connected to the dwelling), if it were to be considered livable area, the subject development would not exceed the 23% maximum lot coverage associated with livable area. The Planning Department is of the opinion that the proposal is minor in nature, meets the intent of the Zoning By-law, and is desirable for the appropriate development of the land. Recommendation: The Planning Department supports Minor Variance Application A040/15. Condition(s): Report prepared by: None.
