REPORT Planning Comments: The subject property located at 207 Centennial Courtis designated General Industrial Employment in the Official Plan and zoned General Industrial(M-2)with Special Regulation 31 (31R) and Special Use Provision 332 (332U) in Zoning By-law 85-1. The subject property is located inclose proximity to the intersection of Centennial Road and Centennial Courtand contains a one-storey industrial building. Due to alot consolidation, the existing northeast side yard is now classified as the rear yard for the property. The applicantis proposing to construct afront addition and as a result the existing building now does not comply with the minimum rear yard setbackof the M-2 zone inZoning By-law 85-1. The applicant is requesting relief from Section 20.3.1of Zoning By-law 85-1 to permit a rear yard setback of 1.7 m whereas Zoning By-law 85-1 requires a minimum rear yard setback of 7.5 m. City Planning staff conducted a site inspection of the property onJuly 27, 2018. 207 CentennialCourt View of the Rear Yard from the Streetat 207 Centennial Court In considering the four tests for minor variances as outlined in Section 45(1) of the Planning Act, R.S.O., 1990 Chap. P. 13, as amended, Planning staff offer the following comments. 1.The subject property is designatedGeneral Industrial Employment is the 2014 Official Plan. The General Industrial Employment designation applies to lands with a broad range of industrial uses and provides for a number of accessory uses,which support the primary function of the General Industrial Employment land use designation.Theprotection and preservation of Industrial Employment areas for current and future uses is amain objectiveof the IndustrialEmployment policies in the Official Plan. The proposed variancemeets the general intent of the Official Plan, as it protects and preservesthe existing industrial use. 2.The applicant is requesting relief from Section 20.3.1 of Zoning By-law 85-1 to permit a rear yard setback of 1.7 metres,whereas Zoning By-law 85-1 requires a minimum rear yard setback of 7.5 metres.The variance is required due to a lot consolidation,inwhich the northeast side yard became classified as therear yard of the property. The intent of the 7.5 metrerear yard setback is to ensure adequate separation distance between buildings. The neighbouring building is sufficiently setback from the subject lands and is separated from the subject property by a parking lot. Thelocation and orientationof the existing building is not changing and the building has remained in that location for a number of years, therefore there will be no additional impact on the neighbouring properties. The addition will be located on the oppositeside of thebuilding and will not have a negative impact on the adjacent properties,as it complies withallzoning regulations. Therefore,the variance meets the general intent of the Zoning By-law. 3.The variance for reduction in rear yard setback is considered minor,as there is little expected impact on the neighbouring properties and the reduction in rear yard setback is only required due to a lot consolidation that deemedthe side yard to the rear yard of the property. The variance is a technical consideration and the location of the building is not changing. 4.The proposed minor variance is considered appropriate for the use and development of the land. The industrial building with the reduced rear yard setback retainsthe General Industrial Employment use and does not impact the development of adjacent lands. Based on the foregoing, Planning staff recommends that this application be approvedsubject to the conditionoutlined below in the Recommendation section of this report. Building Comments: TheBuilding Division has no objections to the proposed variance provided a building permit for the proposed addition is obtained prior to construction. Please contact the Building Division @ 519-741-2433 with any questions. Transportation Services Comments: Transportation Services hasno concerns with the proposed application.. Engineering Comments: Engineering Services hasno concerns with the proposed application. Heritage Planning Comments: No heritage planning concerns. Environmental Planning Comments: No environmental planning concerns. Operations Comments: Operations hasno concerns with the proposed application. RECOMMENDATION That application A2018-070requesting a minor variance to permit a rear yard setback of 1.7 m whereas Zoning By-law 85-1 requires a minimum rear yard setback of 7.5 m,be approved.
