Zoning By-law Amendment

The Council of The Corporation of the Township of Clearview has received an application to amend a by-law to remove a holding symbol through a Zoning By-law application.

The purpose of the application is to partially remove the ‘Holding Symbol (H31)’, to permit a restaurant including a drive through restaurant.

The ‘Holding Symbol (H31)’ was imposed to limit permitted uses including: a hotel and a restaurant including a drive through restaurant, until certain conditions were met.

The Township of Clearview has received complete applications for an amendment to the Official Plan and Zoning By-law. 

The proposal seeks to redevelop the subject lands for commercial use, consisting of four stand-alone commercial buildings, including a drive-through restaurant, 94 parking spaces, and site access from County Road 42 and County Road 91.

The application seeks to amend the zoning on a portion of the subject lands from the ‘Extractive Industrial’ (EX) Zone to the ‘Extractive Industrial Exception’ (EX-xx) Zone to allow an asphalt plant as a site-specific permitted use.

The effect of the proposed by-law is to permit the operation of an asphalt plant on the subject lands.

The purpose of the Official Plan Amendment application is to redesignate a portion of the subject lands to ‘Agriculture Exception’, and further revise the limits of the ‘Greenland – Natural Heritage Area’ designation on the lands to ‘Agricultural’ to reflect results of a Natural Hazard Study.

The purpose of the Zoning By-law Amendment is to rezone the subject lands to reflect the proposed Official Plan Amendment and permit the expansion of an existing sewage treatment facility. Exceptions will be used to established site-specific zoning provisions.

The purpose of the Official Plan Application (OPA) is to replace policies of OPA No. 5 Residential Special Policy 1 (Section 4.6.2.3.7.c). The effect of the OPA will consider between 473 residential units to 536 residential units. Single detached dwelling frontages include: 9.1 m (30 ft); 11.6 m (38 ft); and 15.2 m (50 ft). It will also include 68 condominium townhouse units with frontages of 8.5 m (28ft).

101 Edward Street East is proposed to be comprised of a total of 21 lots for single-detached dwellings and 6 blocks for future medium density development of 30 townhouse units, on full municipal services. 

111 George Street is proposed to be comprised of 11 lots for single-detached dwellings and blocks for servicing and stormwater management. 

The purpose of the Zoning By-law Amendment is to rezone the subject lands to permit a residential development. The proposed Zoning By-law Amendment would rezone to permit single detached units, townhouse units and an apartment. Exceptions will be used to established site-specific zoning provisions and to place a Hold (HX) symbol on the lands.

The applicant is proposing development of the subject lands for the purposes of establishing a 36-unit residential subdivision.

The draft plan of subdivision is proposed to be comprised of 36 residential units in a mixture of single-detached, semi-detached and row dwelling unit types and will also add a stormwater management facility.

The applicant is proposing development of the subject lands for the purposes of establishing a residential subdivision. The subject lands are located at the east limits of Stayner and has frontage on Centre Street.
