BR�EDGEPORT W.)RTH X REPORT Planning Comments: Location Map: 293 Field Sparrow Crescent The subject property located at 293 Field Sparrow Crescent is zoned Residential Three (R-3) with Special Regulation Provisions 304R and 307R in the Zoning By-law 85-1 and designated Low Rise Residential in the City's Official Plan. The applicant is proposing to build a single detached dwelling with a covered porch in the rear yard and cannot meet the requirements of Section 37.2.1 of the Zoning By-law. The applicant is requesting relief to allow a rear yard setback of 6.7 metres rather than the required 7.5 metres. *** This information is available in accessible formats upon request. *** Please call 519-741-2345 or TTY 1-866-969-9994 for assistance. Subject Property: 293 Field Sparrow Crescent City Planning staff conducted a site inspection of the property on March 91h, 2020. 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. Meets the General Intent of the Official Plan Test 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. 2. General Intent and Purpose of Zoning By-law Test The current R-3 zoning requires a 7.5 metres setback from the rear lot line to ensure there is adequate rear yard amenity space. The property in question will be developed with a single detached dwelling. The reduction in the rear yard setback will have a minimal effect on the rear yard amenity space, as a considerable portion of the rear yard will still maintain or exceed the required 7.5m setback. 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. I LOT 32 LOT 31 RMSTERECI r a FIELD SPARK" CRESCENT Proposed Porch: 293 Field Sparrow Crescent 3. Is the Variance "Minor" Test The proposed reduction in the rear yard setback will be negligible and will not impact the existing neighbourhood. Therefore, Staff is of the opinion that the requested variance is minor. 4. Is the Variance Appropriate Test 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. 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. Building Comments: The Building Division has no objections to the proposed variance. Application has been made to for the single detached dwelling and is currently under review. Transportation Services Comments: The Transportation Division has no objections to the proposed variance. Application has been made to for the single detached dwelling and is currently under review. Engineering Comments: The Engineering Division has no objections to the proposed variance. Application has been made to for the single detached dwelling and is currently under review. RECOMMENDATION That minor variance application A2020-027 requesting permission to construct a single detached dwelling with covered porch in the rear yard having a rear yard setback of 6.7m rather than the required 7.5m, be approved.
