10:23And the first one is 25 Alice Street,

10:27the proposed zoning bylaw amendment.

10:30Kelly McCormick is here.

10:32And I told her I'd embarrass her.

10:34So this is her first time presenting to us tonight.

10:37So welcome to you as our staff.

10:39And we know you're gonna do a great job.

10:42And thank you so much.

10:43I will turn it right on over to you.

10:52Thank you.

10:53Good afternoon, Mayor Guthrie, members of Council,

10:55staff and members of the public.

10:57My name is Kelly McCormick

10:58and I am the senior planner

10:59who's reviewing this application file.

11:02The city has received an application

11:03for a zoning bylaw amendment

11:05from the owners, Mario and Anthony Contrario

11:08to resume the property known municipally as 25 Alice Street

11:11to put the redevelopment into a semi-detached dwelling.

11:15Today's meeting is a statutory public meeting

11:17required under the Planning Act.

11:18No decisions will be made today on the application.

11:34Thanks for bearing with me.

11:36All right.

11:38So the subject site is comprised of an existing lot

11:39with approximately 17.7 meters of frontage on Alice Street.

11:43The site is located immediately south of Duke Street

11:46as the T intersection and between here on street to the east

11:49and Arthur Street south to the west.

11:51The site is currently occupied

11:52by a single attached dwelling and attached garage

11:55and is approximately 550 square meters in size.

11:58The subject lands are immediately bound at all sides

12:00by low residential dwelling units.

12:11All right.

12:12So subject property is designated low density residential

12:14in the city's official plan.

12:16The land use designation applies to residential areas

12:18within the city, which are low density and character,

12:20low density residential designation is intended

12:23to provide a variety of low density residential housing forms

12:26and types including detached, semi-detached,

12:28duplex dwellings, as well as multiple unit residential

12:31buildings such as townhomes and apartments.

12:35So the subject lands are currently zoned

12:37specialized residential single attached zone,

12:40the R1B-10 in the 1995 zoning bylaw.

12:44The applicant is requesting to change the zoning

12:46of the subject lands from the current specialized R1B-10 zone

12:50to a specialized residential semi-detached duplex zone,

12:53which is an R2 zone.

12:58The subject lands are also zoned low density residential,

13:01RL2 and the 2023 comprehensive zoning bylaw.

13:04The proposed development complies

13:06with the 2023 zoning bylaw.

13:08However, as it is currently under appeal

13:09in its entirety to the Ontario land tribunal,

13:11it is not enforced in effect.

13:13A zoning bylaw amendment is required

13:15to the 1995 zoning bylaw to facilitate

13:17the proposed development as it is currently under appeal.

13:24So as mentioned, the applicant is requesting

13:25to change the zoning of the subject lands

13:27from the current specialized R1B-10 zone

13:30to a specialized residential semi-detached duplex zone.

13:33And there are two specialized regulations

13:35that have been requested.

13:36These include to permit a maximum lot coverage

13:38of 47% of the lot area, whereas a maximum lot coverage

13:42of 40% of the lot area is currently allowed.

13:45And to permit a minimum lot frontage

13:46of seven and a half meters per each unit,

13:48whereas a minimum lot frontage of not less

13:51than the average lot frontage established

13:53by existing lots with the same city block faces required,

13:56which is approximately 12.1 meters.

14:00So the applicant is proposing to construct

14:02a semi-detached dwelling.

14:03The existing one-story detached dwelling

14:05and attached garage are proposed to be demolished

14:07as part of this proposal.

14:16Nope, that's okay.

14:18Oh, there it goes.

14:20Thank you, Dylan.

14:22Ha ha ha.

14:26Staff review of the application

14:28will address the following issues.

14:29Evaluation of the proposal's conformity and consistency

14:32to the 2020 provincial policy statement

14:34and a place to grow growth plan

14:40It will also include an evaluation proposals conformity

16:44wants to call in.

16:45Is there anybody in the room?

16:48Yes, sir, come on down.

16:49Yep.

17:13So good afternoon, good evening.

17:15So my name is Claudio Belbinow from the Agar Research Group.

17:18We're land use planners and we're acting as the agent

17:21for the registered owner of 25 Allis Street.

17:24We've reviewed the public meeting staff report

17:26along with the public meeting presentation

17:29and have no issues or concerns related to the assessment

17:32and the recommendations.

17:34So the proposal is straightforward

17:36as I'm sure you're aware,

17:37the site specific applications would not be required

17:40if the new comprehensive zoning bylaw would be in place.

17:42So I'll be happy to answer any questions you may have.

17:47All right, thanks.

17:47Is there any follow up to this delegate?

17:49Councillor Allt, please.

17:51Thank you very much, Mr. Mayor.

17:53Through you to the delegate.

17:54This is one that I was going to ask staff,

17:56but when I saw the R2 question mark, question mark,

17:59I wanted to know what's the question marks.

18:02You must know.

18:02Yeah, so it comes down to the site specific bylaw.

18:06So whatever regulations need some changes

18:11or just to make it that site specific,

18:13that's the, usually we do XX to signify a number.

18:17So.

18:19Thank you very much.

18:20I'll send an XOX to you then.

18:22Thank you.

18:24All right.

18:25That's enough now, Councillor Allt.

18:27You just met and everyone.

18:29Okay.

18:30I don't see any other questions, nothing online either.

18:33So that was a great delegation.

18:34Thank you so much to our clerks.

18:37Did we have anyone also want to call in on this?

18:39No?

18:40Okay.

18:41So I'll consider that closed for delegations.

18:45It's back to us now.

18:47Can I at least have the recommendation put on the floor?

18:50It's just to receive the report 2023 to a two regarding proposed

18:55zoning bylaw amendment application by the owners,

19:00Mario and Anthony,

19:02Caterino, I hope I'm saying that right to permit the development

19:05of a semi-detached dwelling on the lands,

19:07municipally known as 25 Owl Street from infrastructure,

19:10development and enterprises services dated July 11th,

19:132023 be received.

19:15And so that's I'm going to go with O'Rourke and Koran,

19:19seconding that.

19:20And then now, is there any quick questions at all about this

19:22before I call the vote, Councillor Goller, please?

19:26Thank you through your worship to staff.

19:29Thank you for the presentation.

19:31I have a question about the floor area for the unit.

19:36The previous zoning bylaw required at a maximum of 40%.

19:42This unit has 47% coverage of the lot.

19:45What does the new approved bylaw that is not yet in effect,

19:50what would the maximum be under that bylaw?

19:53Through you, Mayor Guthrie to Councillor Goller,

19:56there is no requirement in the Commerhands of Zonabella

19:59for the maximum lot coverage.

20:01Okay, thank you for that clarification.

20:04And my second question, it's procedural

20:07because we just approved the zoning bylaw a couple of months ago.

20:11Now, if Council were to vote against this,

20:14would we actually be voting against our own decision?

20:18Just understanding, we're going to get several of these

20:21over the next year or so that comply

20:24with the approved zoning bylaw,

20:26but we still have to receive them.

20:28So just so that I understand

20:31if you could give me that information.

20:35Through Mayor Guthrie to Councillor Goller,

20:38that is correct because they are asking for no variances

20:41to the Commerhands of Zoning Bylaw.

20:43So it's straight up exactly what's in the approved,

20:46in the Council endorsed Commerhands of Zoning Bylaw.

20:48Okay, thanks for the clarification, appreciate it.

20:50Thank you, Worship.

20:52Thank you.

20:53Seeing nothing further,

20:54I will, Councillor Gibson has also joined us, thank you.

20:58So I will look to call the vote on receiving only,

21:02no decisions being made,

21:03we're just receiving the application, anyone against that?

21:07Hearing and seeing none,

21:08I'll consider the matter closed and unanimous support

21:11for receiving that application.

21:14Thank you very much for coming, appreciate it.
