    That, on the recommendation of the Managing Director, Planning and City Planner, the following actions be taken with respect to the application of 1331 Hyde Park Holdings Inc. and The Corporation of the City of London, relating to the property located at 1331 Hyde Park Road:

     

    a)            the proposed by-law appended to the staff report dated October 29, 2018 as Appendix "A" BE INTRODUCED at the Municipal Council meeting to be held on November 6, 2018 to amend the Official Plan BY ADDING a policy to Section 10.1.3 – Policies for Specific Areas; and,

     

    b)            the proposed by-law appended to the staff report dated October 29, 2018 as Appendix "B" BE INTRODUCED at the Municipal Council meeting to be held on November 6, 2018 to amend Zoning By-law No. Z.-1, (in conformity with the Official Plan as amended in part a) above), to change the zoning of the subject property FROM a Business District Commercial Special Provision (BDC2(4)) Zone TO a Business District Commercial Special Provision (BDC2(_)) Zone;

     

    it being pointed out that at the public participation meeting associated with these matters, the individuals indicated on the attached public participation meeting record made oral submissions regarding these matters;

     

    it being further noted that the Municipal Council approves this application for the following reasons:

     

    •               the recommended Official Plan Amendment is intended to bring the policies of the 1989 Official Plan in-line with The London Plan for the subject site, allowing for an expanded range of permitted uses. This is intended to contribute to the further development of Hyde Park Road as a main street; and,

    •               the recommended Zoning By-law Amendment is also expected to contribute to the development of Hyde Park Road as a main street, allowing for a new retail use to occupy a vacant site. The Automobile Sales Boutique is a unique form of retail, similar to a standard storefront, which would be fully enclosed. A small area for the service and repair of vehicles would support this use, however requirements to limit the size, limit its use to the service and repair of motorcycles, and ensure full enclosure are intended to allow flexibility for the needs of the user while not detracting from the vibrancy of the main street or creating negative impacts on adjacent residential uses. The requested continuation of an existing special provision that would allow for no maximum front yard setback is not recommended to continue to be included in the Zoning By-law provisions for the subject site. This provision is contrary to policies in the 1989 Official Plan and The London Plan that encourage reduced front yard setbacks on main streets to encourage pedestrian-oriented development.    (2018-D09)

    That, on the recommendation of the Managing Director, Planning and City Planner, with respect to the application of Star Homes Ltd., relating to the property located at 537 Crestwood Drive, the request to amend Zoning By-law No. Z.-1 to change the zoning of the subject property FROM an Urban Reserve (UR1) Zone and a Residential R6 Special Provision (R6-2(13)) Zone TO a Residential R6 Special Provision (R6-2(*)) Zone, BE REFUSED for the following reasons:

     

    a)            the requested amendment to permit the residential development of the westerly portion of the subject lands is not consistent with the 2014 Provincial Policy Statement;

     

    b)            the requested amendment to permit the residential development of the westerly portion of the subject lands does not conform to the 1989 Official Plan nor The London Plan; and,

     

    c)            the requested amendment is premature, and the Urban Reserve (UR1) Zone should remain on the westerly portion of the subject lands until such time as a rehabilitation plan and site restoration have been completed for the adjacent aggregate resource extraction area;

     

    it being noted that the Planning and Environment Committee reviewed and received the following communications with respect to this matter:

    •                    the attached communication dated October 28, 2018 from L. Connell and N. Ensley, 537-1 Crestwood Drive; and,

  • That, on the recommendation of the Managing Director, Planning and City Planner, the following actions be taken with respect to the application of Bradel Properties Ltd., relating to the property located at 324 York Street:

     

    a)          the request to amend Zoning By-law No. Z.-1 to change the zoning of the subject property by extending the Temporary Use (T-71) Zone for a temporary period of three (3) years, BE REFUSED for the following reasons:

     

    i)        the request is not consistent with the policies of the Provincial Policy Statement, 2014;

    ii)        the request does not conform to the newly established policies of the 1989 Official Plan or The London Plan regarding temporary commercial parking lots;

    iii)        the request does not implement the goals of Our Move Forward: London’s Downtown Plan; and,

    iv)        the request does not implement the recommendations of the Downtown Parking Strategy;

     

    b)         the proposed by-law appended to the staff report dated October 29, 2018 as Appendix "A" BE INTRODUCED at the Municipal Council meeting to be held on November 6, 2018 to amend Zoning By-law No. Z.-1, (in conformity with the Official Plan), by extending the Temporary Use (T-71) Zone for a period not exceeding six (6) months;

    it being noted that the purpose of the recommended short-term six (6) month extension of the temporary zone is to allow users of the surface commercial parking lot to find alternative parking arrangements;

     

    it being pointed out that at the public participation meeting associated with these matters, the individual indicated on the attached public participation meeting record made an oral submission regarding these matters;

     

    it being further noted that the Municipal Council approves the extension of the Temporary Use (T-71) Zone for a period not to exceed six (6) months for the following reason:

    •               the request to extend the temporary zone for a period of three (3) years, representing the maximum extension permitted, does not encourage long-term redevelopment of the site. The recommended six (6) month extension is a balanced approach that would allow existing users of the surface commercial parking lot to make alternative parking arrangements while encouraging long-term redevelopment of the site to a more intense, transit-supportive use that is consistent with the policies of the Provincial Policy Statement and is in conformity with the 1989 Official Plan and The London Plan.   (2018-D09)
