Application No.: Zoning By-law Amendment Z.A. 4/2024
Owner: Brittany Jane Lowry
Applicant: MORGAN Planning and Development
Location: 65 Nettleton Drive (see Location Map)
DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED ZONING BY-LAW AMENDMENT
The application is submitted in support of the approval of a Provisional Consent to Sever application (File No. B3/2024) which will create two (2) lots for residential purposes. The Zoning By-law Amendment application proposes to rezone the Subject Lands from the Open Space (OS) zone and Environmental Protection (EP) zone to the Residential One Exception (R1-X) zone and Environmental Protection Exception (EP-X) zone. The R1 zone exception relates to a proposed setback of 5 metres to a watercourse, whereas a minimum setback of 7.5 metres is required, as well as a site-specific definition of Lot Coverage. The exception to the EP zone is to permit the installation of municipal water and wastewater services through this portion of the subject lands. The Amendment would facilitate future residential development and establish a building envelope on each of the lots.
