Please be advised that Council of the Municipality of South Huron passed By-law #34-2022 on the 16th day of May, 2022 under Section 34 of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, as amended.
Purpose and Effect
This Zoning By-law Amendment affects the lands described as Part Lot 1090, Plan 376, Exeter Ward, Municipality of South Huron (municipal address: 72 Wellington Street East).
The lands to be rezoned are currently zoned D (Future Development) and are proposed to be rezoned to facilitate a proposed residential subdivision containing one hundred and fifty-nine (159) single detached residential lots and two blocks for future higher density residential development of approximately eighty-four (84) dwelling units. The single detached lots are proposed to be rezoned to R1-22 and R1-23. The block for future residential development in the centre of the subdivision is to be zoned R3-16-H while the medium density residential block at the west end of the subdivision is to be zoned R2-6-H. In addition, the block for a stormwater management pond is to be zoned OS-1 (Parks & Open Space – Special Zone) to limit its use to this stormwater management infrastructure. Additional lands to the north of the development area of the subdivision are to be rezoned to NE2 (Natural Environment) to match the NE2 zoning of the rest of the naturalized lands along the Ausable River. A small block at the entrance to the subdivision from Pryde Boulevard is to be zoned OS (Parks & Open Space).
The proposed R1-22 zone has the following special provisions:
a) reduce the minimum zone area for an interior property from 450 m2 to 350 m2 and for a corner property from 540 m2 to 430 m2;
b) reduce the minimum frontage for an interior property from 15 m to 11.8 m and for a corner property from 18 m to 14 m;
c) reduce the minimum front yard setback from 7.5 m to 6 m to an attached garage and 4.5 m to the main building;
d) for a property with an attached garage, reduce the minimum interior side yard setback from 1.8 m to 1.2 m on both sides;
e) reduce the minimum exterior side yard setback from 6 m to 4.5 m; and
f) increase the maximum zone coverage permitted from 40% to 50%.
The proposed R1-23 zone has the following special provisions:
a) reduce the minimum zone area for an interior property from 450 m2 to 420 m2 and for a corner property from 540 m2 to 535 m2;
b) reduce the minimum frontage for an interior property from 15 m to 12 m and for a corner property from 18 m to 15 m;
c) reduce the minimum front yard setback from 7.5 m to 6 m to an attached garage and 4.5 m to the main building;
d) for a property with an attached garage, reduce the minimum interior side yard setback from 1.8 m to 1.2 m on both sides;
e) reduce the minimum exterior side yard setback from 6 m to 4.5 m;
f) increase the minimum rear yard setback from 7 m to 9.5 m; and
g) increase the maximum zone coverage permitted from 40% to 50%.
The proposed R2-6-H zone has the following special provisions:
a) add the following as permitted uses: an apartment building, long-term care home, retirement home, and multiple attached dwelling exceeding 4 dwelling units;
b) for permitted uses containing one or two dwelling units:
- reduce the minimum frontage for an interior property from 15 m to 12 m;
- reduce the minimum front yard setback from 7.5 m to 6 m to an attached garage and 4.5 m to the main building; and
- for a property with an attached garage, reduce the minimum interior side yard setback from 1.8 m to 1.2 m on both sides.
The proposed R3-16-H zone has the following proposed special provisions for multiple attached dwellings:
a) reduce the minimum zone area per dwelling unit for an interior property from 450 m2 to 260 m2;
b) reduce the minimum frontage for an interior property from 8 m to 6 m and for a corner property from 11 m to 9 m;
c) add a minimum property depth requirement of 26 m per unit;
d) replace the requirement for a minimum front yard setback of 7 m and a minimum 1 m difference between front yards of adjoining units with a minimum front yard setback of 6 m to an attached garage and 4.5 m to the main building; and
e) reduce the required rear yard from 10 m to 7.5 m.
In addition, the R3-16-H zone reduces the minimum separation between apartment buildings on a property from 18 m to 7.5 m when the exterior wall has a habitable room.
The -H holding symbol is attached to the R2-6-H and R3-16-H zones because the specifics of how those blocks will develop are unknown at this time. The holding symbol prevents development of these lands until details of their development are known and the holding symbol is removed by the Municipality.
This By-law amends Zoning By-law # 69-2018 of the Municipality of South Huron.
