November 3, 2014 Report to: Subject: Recom mendation: Committee of the Whole Township of Ramara Public Meeting Report Zoning Bylaw Amendment Application Z-7/14 8203 County Road 169 Stephen Hinton and Wendy Hinton That the Public Meeting Report, dated November 3,2014, be received with regard to Application Z- 7/14 to amend Ramara Zoning Bylaw 2005.85 in the "Hamlet (H)" Zone to allow for an Antique Furniture and refinishing Establishment at 8293 County Road 169, in Washago. On August 18, 2014, a planning application was received by the Township of Ramara requesting an amendment to Ramara Zoning Bylaw 2005.85. The purpose of this application is to modify several provisions of the existing "Hamlet (H)" Zone. The application requests that the existing buildings on the property be used for an antique furniture and refinishing establishment in the built-up area of the designated Washago settlement. The subject property is owned by Stephen Hinton and Wendy Hinton. The entire property consists of approximately 5.9 hectares (14.6 acres). The entire property has frontage of 346.84 m (1,138 feet) on County Road 169 and approximately 150 m (493 feet) on Grist Mill Road (a Township Road). The property consists of six buildings: Barn - two storeys Dwelling Garage Old Blacksmith Shop Small barn Covered Shed The approximate gross floor area of the buildings is 1,141 square metres (12,282 square feet). 1 2 of 17
The applicant requests that only 1.1 hectares (2.7 acres), or 18.6% of the total property be the subject of the amendment application. The subject site proposed to be zoned will not have frontage on Grist Mill Road. The remainder of the subject property will remain as currently zoned. The applicant intends to use the buildings and the 1.1 hectares for the sale of antique furniture, typically by appointment only, in the large barn. As well, in the barn, repair and refinishing of furniture will take place. The dwelling will be retained and the other existing buildings will be used for storage accessory to the business. No new buildings are proposed. The original dwelling was constructed in 1880 along with the blacksmith and wood working shop. The barn was built in two stages, in 1880 and 1920. The large implement shed and the garage were built in 1930. Historically, the property is known as the "Agnew Farm". The "Hamlet (H)" Zone allows for retail commercial uses provided the site is specifically zoned. Special Provisions will need to be included in the amendment. The application requests the following special provisions: III Provide 16 parking spaces instead of required 32 spaces. The Bylaw requires 16 spaces for the retail establishment. III Provide the Maximum Gross Floor Area of 320 m 2 instead of 140 m 2 for the retail establishment. III Allow for all existing accessory buildings and uses. The application proposes that vehicle access will be restricted to County Road 169. No new access will be created from Grist Mill Road. The County of Simcoe has agreed to allow a new commercial entrance on County Road 169 when the existing entrance is closed. The subject site is designated as "Hamlet" in the Ramara Official Plan. The application is consistent with Provincial Policy Statement 2005 and it conforms with and is not in conflict with the growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe, since the proposal is located within a designated settlement area. 2 3 of 17
The applicant will require site plan approval and the approval for the construction of a water supply well on the property. The well will replace the existing source from the Severn River. Approval of the new on-site sewage treatment system will be required. The application has been determined by the Township to be complete. Comments Received to date from Township Circulation Manager of Building & Planning Services All renovation work is to be undertaken with building permits and verified by the architect and the engineer, where necessary. Simcoe County District School Board No concern. County of Simcoe Roads An entrance permit will be issued when the existing entrance is closed as a result of the zoning bylaw amendment. Draft Zoning Bylaw Amendment Attached is a draft zoning bylaw amendment. Maps AS and BS of Schedule "A" of Ramara Zoning Bylaw 2005.85 is proposed to be amended to identify the subject site as "H-11". Section 14.(9) is amended to add Special Provision H-11 (Maps AS, BS) to provide that within the H-11 Zone the following uses are permitted: Retail commercial establishment restricted to sale and refinishing of antique furniture; a detached dwelling; and uses accessory to the permitted uses. The maximum Gross Floor Area is 320 m 2 for the permitted retail commercial establishment and accessory uses; a minimum of 16 parking spaces for the retail commercial establishment and accessory uses. The Amendment requires that the frontage is restricted to County Road 169 only. All other provisions of the Bylaw shall apply. 3 4 of 17

THE CORPORATION OF THE TOWNSHIP OF RAMARA Proud History - Progressive Future MEETING: REPORT NO. DATE: SUBJECT: COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE BP-24-14 NOVEMBER 3,2014 PUBLIC MEETING ZONING BYLAW AMENDMENT FILE Z-8/14 5367 RAMA ROAD 1680032 ONTARIO LTD. (ATTIA) SUGGESTED MOTION: THAT we receive Report BP-24-14 dated November 3,2014 regarding Zoning Bylaw Amendment File Z-8/14; AND THAT comments and concerns be received; AND THAT a report and recommendation be brought forward for consideration following the public meeting. BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION: An application was received on September 17,2014 by the Township of Ramara requesting an amendment to the Ramara Zoning Bylaw #2005.85. The purpose of this application is to amend the current site specific zoning of "Destination Commercial Exception Ten - Holding (DC-10(H)" to "Destination Commercial Holding (DC(H)". The request for the zoning change is to make the property less restrictive as it relates to the permitted uses on the lot, and to allow more flexibility with the permitted uses in the "Destination Commercial" zone. The subject property is owned by 1680032 Ontario Ltd. and consists of 1.32 ha (3.25 acres) and is located at the corner of Rama Road and Monck Road. At the present time, the property consists of a building incorporating an automotive sales and service establishment and a Cash For Gold business that was recognized in Temporary Use Bylaw #2012.19. There is currently a trailer type structure on the property, located on the south side of the permanent building, which is possibly to be utilized for a new homes sales centre, which was recognized in Temporary Use Bylaw #2013.25. 11 of 17 P.O. Box 130, Brechin, Ontario LOK lbo, (705) 484-5374 Toll Free 1-800-663-4054 (for 689 exchange only) Fax (705) 484-0441 Email: ramara@ramara.ca Web Site: www.ramara.ca
The existing zone category of "DC-1 O(H)" is a site specific zoning with the only permitted small scale industrial, commercial and institutional use being a motor vehicle sales and service and motor vehicle service station. As the subject property is also incorporated into the Rama Road Corridor Secondary Plan and the Rama Road Corridor Master Servicing Plan, there is a "holding" provision on the property that will remain until such time as a development proposal is brought forward for consideration and all requirements of the Rama Road Corridor Secondary Plan, Master Servicing Plan and Section 4(11) of Zoning Bylaw #2005.85 have been met to the satisfaction of the Township. Upon the zoning amendment being adopted, a number of uses will be permitted, subject to the requirements of the special holding provision in Section 4(11) of Zoning Bylaw #2005.85 as well as the Rama Road Corridor Secondary Plan and Master Servicing Plan. Some of these uses include: Eating establishment Hotel, motel Marina including seasonal boat storage facility Tourism and entertainment retail establishment Retail commercial establishment accessory to a permitted use Prior to any of the permitted uses being established on the property, all requirements as noted above must be satisfied and an application for site plan approval submitted for consideration and approval. Once the Township has granted site plan approval, an application for a zoning bylaw amendment to remove the "holding" will be required. At the present time, the owner has no immediate plans for any new development on the subject lands. Comments received to date on the application are as follows: Building Department Public School Board County of Simcoe Roads and Engineering No concerns No objections Not opposed to Zoning Bylaw Amendment - would like opportunity to review and comment on site plan control application when submitted 12 of 17
Permitting this zoning amendment will provide the opportunity for a number of uses that have been otherwise restricted in the "Destination Commercial Exception Ten - Holding (DC-10(H)", in conformity with surrounding land uses. Following the public meeting, a report and recommendation will be brought forward for consideration by Committee and Council. AL TERNATIVES: That the property remain as "Destination Commercial Exception Ten - Holding (DC-10(H)" FINANCIAL INFORMATION: There are no financial implications to the Township of Ramara. STRATEGIC ISSUES: There are two strategic issues that apply, being Quality of Life and Economic Development. Quality of life plans and promotes development that harmonizes with existing communities and deters impacts on our country setting. The subject lands are located within the designated Economic Employment District as recognized in the County of Simcoe Official Plan and the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe. Allowing the property more options for development relating to the uses permitted in the Destination Commercial zone will bring the lands into conformity with the surrounding permitted land uses. Economic Development encourages a diversified economy that includes agriculture, aggregates, commercial, manufacturing, tourism and a service sector that promotes the retention of existing businesses and provides opportunities for new development. Providing greater flexibility on the property will ensure the Rama Road Corridor is developed in accordance with the planning documents at the Township, County and Provincial level. 13 of 17
