Amend the Zoning By-law for Industrial Land Uses with Regard to Height, Parking Rate, Access to Loading Areas and Maneuvering on City Streets (Z-8744) (Relates to Bill No. 344)

 

That, on the recommendation of the Manager, Development Planning, the proposed attached, revised, by-law BE INTRODUCED at the Municipal Council meeting to be held on July 25, 2017, to amend Zoning By-law No. Z.-1, (in conformity with the Official Plan), TO:

 

a)            amend Sections 40 Light Industrial (LI), table 40.3, 41 General Industrial (GI), table 41.3, and 42 Heavy Industrial (HI), table 42.3 of the Z.-1 Zoning By-law to change the height and setback regulations for industrial buildings;

 

b)            add, to the bottom of tables 40.3, 41.3, and 42.3, the following footnote: “It being noted that lands within the approach, outer, or transitional surface(s) of the London International Airport are subject to the London Airport Zoning Regulations, Chapter 93 of the Aeronautics Act.”;

 

c)            amend Section 4.19 b) ‘Parking Standard Areas 2 and 3 parking requirements are as follows’, to permit a parking rate of 1/200m2 for the following uses: Advanced Manufacturing Industrial Uses, Advanced Manufacturing Educational Uses, and Manufacturing Establishments; and,

 

d)            amend Section 4.13 LOADING SPACE REQUIREMENTS, subsection 5) “ACCESS TO LOADING SPACES” by adding the following paragraph to the end of the subsection:

 

On roads identified as “secondary collector” or “local street” in the Zoning By-law, and where the existing premises are zoned to permit Industrial use(s) vehicles may be permitted to maneuver into loading areas using the road allowance where necessary.  Where a new building is proposed, the development shall provide sufficient space for the maneuvering of vehicles on the lot so as not to obstruct or otherwise cause a hazard on adjacent streets.;

 

it being noted that no individuals spoke at the public participation meeting associated with this matter;

 

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

 

               businesses which develop and occupy industrial buildings are subject to a highly competitive environment where they must almost always seek the lowest cost and shortest time period from concept to production;

              efficiency and flexibility are vital to attracting and retaining industrial clients in the current marketplace. The recommendations herein are made with the intent of furthering goals outlined in the Provincial Policy Statement, City of London Official Plan, London Plan, London’s Strategic Plan, and Community Economic Road Map through amending industrial regulations impacting municipal industrial development efforts;

               the recommended amendments are consistent with, and will serve to implement, the policies of the Provincial Policy Statement, 2014 (2014 PPS), which promotes cost-effective development patterns and standards to minimize land consumption and servicing costs.  As well, the 2014 PPS directs planning authorities to… “take into account the needs of existing and future businesses.”;

              the recommended amendments are consistent with, and will serve to implement, the policies of the Official Plan by encouraging an efficient utilization of land within industrial areas, providing for the continuation and improvement of inner-city industrial lands, and providing opportunities within existing industrial areas for new, compatible industries; furthermore, as the Official Plan states, the transportation system shall be designed to provide for parking that is, “…adequate for the land uses (it) supports, and developed to a standard which promotes compatibility with adjacent land uses.  Council may consider a policy to limit the maximum amount of parking spaces to support a proposed development.”;

•           the recommended amendments are consistent with, and will serve to implement, the policies of the London Plan by demonstrating that we understand the needs and demands of the sectors we hope to attract, and by creating a competitive industrial advantage for London which supports the growth of industrial sectors; as well, the London Plan states that the Zoning By-law is to ensure that excessive amounts of parking are not required; requirements may be lower within those place types and parts of the city… that are close to employment areas, office areas, and other uses that generate high levels of attraction; the recommended amendments are consistent with, and serve to implement, the London Plan with regard to the accommodation of on-site truck movements for loading, unless it is deemed appropriate to utilize streets where there are no viable alternatives;

               the recommended amendments are consistent with, and serve to implement the Community Economic Road Map, and in turn the Strategic Plan, by supporting opportunities for economic growth and by working to streamline the industrial development process; and,

               the recommended amendments are consistent with the general intent of the Z.-1 Zoning By-law, which provides regulations for Industrial zones and land uses.   (2017-D09)
