REPORT Planning Comments: The subject property located at 188 Redtail Street is zoned Residential Five (R-3) with Special Use Regulations 304R and 307R, and designated Low Rise Residential in the City Official Plan. The applicant is requesting relief from Section 6.1.1.1.b) ii) e) and Special Regulation 307 b) ii) of the Zoning By-law to construct a driveway that is 10.24 metres in width where as 8 metres is permitted. The driveway width will not exceed 50 percent of the lot width and the proposed driveway will be as wide as the attached garage. The driveway and its widening will not exceed 6.0 metres within 3.0 metres of the front lot line. City Planning staff conducted a site inspection of the property on April 5, 2019. 188 Redtail Street 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 offers the following comments. General Intent of Official Plan 1. The subject property is designated Low Rise Residential in the Official Plan. The intent of this designation is to encourage a range of different forms of housing to achieve a low density neighbourhood. The requested variance to permit a wider driveway is appropriate and continues to maintain the low density character of the property and surrounding neighbourhood. It is the opinion of staff that the requested variance meets the general intent of the Official Plan. General Intent of Zoning By-law 2. The requested variance to widen the driveway meets the general intent of the Zoning By-law. The intent of the maximum 8.0 metres driveway width is to have an aesthetically pleasing streetscape by having an appropriate balance of driveway and front yard amenity space. The driveway width will be less than 50% of the lot width and it will not exceed 6.0 metres in width within 3.0 metres of the front lot line. This maintains the balance between the driveway and front yard amenity space. Application is Minor 3. Staff is of the opinion that the requested variances are minor and the approval of this application will not present any significant impacts to adjacent properties or the overall neighbourhood. The increase in driveway width will not impact the existing neighbourhood. Application in Appropriate 4. The variance is appropriate for the development and use of the land. The requested variances should not have any negative impacts on the adjacent properties or the surrounding neighbourhood.
