SII ' �lCl 277 Field Sparrow Crescent (Front and rear view) 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 reduced rear yard setback 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 current R-3 zoning currently requires a 7.5 metres setback from the rear lot line to ensure there is adequate rear yard amenity space. The property in question is an irregular shaped lot and will be developed with a single detached dwelling. Due to the shape of the lot and orientation of the street, in order for the dwelling to match the angle of the lot the required rear yard setback cannot be met. The reduction in the rear yard setback is minimally affecting the rear yard amenity space. As such, staff is satisfied the requested variance to reduce the rear yard setback to 6.7 metres whereas 7.5 metres is required meets the general intent of the Zoning By-law. Application is Minor 3. Staff is of the opinion that the requested variance is minor and the approval of this application will not present any significant impacts to adjacent properties or the overall neighbourhood. The proposed reduction in the rear yard setback will be negligible due to the irregular shape of the property and 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 impact any of the adjacent properties or the surrounding neighbourhood. =K CURB FIELD SPARROW CRESCENT Proposed Single Detached Dwelling — 277 Field Sparrow Crescent Al I'19'40' W I G15TEREO PLAN 58M-552 M � LOT 21` •§ alY�il 9IY'-B'1- i I YP r o I4 4 p Q NN �m fa f ].K yaY t � NN O 1 `i I•I O FV �5] d PR�BSi6 FWIIYA7I OY N tr �,YH r-11ii'�Yf K7 .k%AT r AI9 nD -�1` r l M rf =K CURB FIELD SPARROW CRESCENT Proposed Single Detached Dwelling — 277 Field Sparrow Crescent Based on the foregoing, Planning staff recommends that this application be approved subject to the conditions outlined below in the Recommendation section of this report.
