REPORT Planning Comments: The subject property located at 63 Pinedale Drive is zoned Residential Four (R-4) Zoning By-law 85-1 and is designated Low Rise Residential in the City's 1994 and 2014 Official Plan. City Planning staff conducted a site inspection of the property on January 6th 2019. The property contains an existing Single Detached Dwelling which is proposed to be converted into a Duplex. To accommodate the proposed duplex, the owner is requesting relief from Section 6.1.1.1 b) i) to locate the first off-street parking space at a distance of 3.64 metres from the street line, whereas 6.0 metres is required. The second space will be located on the existing driveway, and meets the minimum size requirements. View from Pinedale Drive 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 offers the following comments: 1. The subject property is designated Low Rise Residential in the City's Official Plan. The proposed variance meets the general intent of the Official Plan, which encourages a range of housing forms that achieve an overall low density neighbourhood. The minor change will maintain the low density character of the property and surrounding neighbourhood. The proposed variance meets the general intent of the designation. 2. The requested variance to legalize the 3.64 metres off-street parking space setback from the street line, whereas 6.0 metres is required, meets the general intent of the Zoning By-law. The intent of the 6.0 metres required setback is to allow for a vehicle to be safely parked on the driveway without affecting the City right-of-way and surrounding properties. It is the opinion of both Planning and Transportation staff that the 2.36 metres reduction in the parking setback is minor and will not affect the City right-of-way or neighbouring properties. As such, Staff is satisfied the variance meets the general intent of the Zoning By-law. 3. The variance can be considered minor as a 2.36 metres reduction in the parking space setback will not present any significant impacts to adjacent properties and the safety of the overall neighbourhood has not been compromised. 4. The proposed variance is appropriate for the development and use of the land. No negative impacts are anticipated as a result of the variance. The proposed setback for the driveway will continue to provide a safe ingress and egress to the property without impacting the intersection. Based on the foregoing, Planning staff recommends that this application be approved subject to the condition outlined below in the Recommendation section of this report. Building Comments: The Building Division has no objections to the proposed variance. Application has been made to legalize the duplex and is currently under review. Transportation Services Comments: Transportation Services would support a 2.36 metre reduction from the required 6.0 metre parking setback to provide a 3.64 metre parking setback. Engineering Comments: No concerns with the proposed variance. Heritage Planning Comments: No concerns with the proposed variance. Environmental Planning Comments: No concerns with the proposed variance. RECOMMENDATION: That application A 2019-009 requesting relief from Section 6.1.1.1 b) i) to locate the off-street parking space at a distance of 3.64 metres from the street line, whereas 6.0 metres is required, shall be approved.
