Description
The property addressed as 507 Frederick Street is zoned as COM-2 (General Commercial), and a small portion previously addressed as 36 Becker Street is zoned as MIX-1, in Zoning By-law 2019-051. 40 and 44 Becker Street are zoned as Residential Five (R-5) in Zoning By-law 85-1 and RES-4 in Zoning By-law 2019-051. The triangle-shape piece of land is zoned as Residential Six (R-6) with Special Use Provision 362U, which permits a funeral home, in Zoning By-law 85-1. These lands are zoned as Low Rise Residential Five (RES-5) with Site Specific Provision 205 in Zoning By-law 2019-051. The application proposed to amend both zoning by-laws so that all lands are zoned as COM-2 – the same zoning as the existing funeral home property. Additionally, Site Specific Provision 367 in the Zoning By-law will; • permit a crematorium/cremator use on the lands 56 metres from a residential property • legalize the retention of existing residential dwellings, • permit a building with no setback to Becker Street, • allow a building within the required Driveway Visibility Triangles along Becker Street, • permit a reduced an on-site vehicle parking rate of 1 space per 25 square metres of floor area, • allow for tandem parking for employees • define Frederick Street as the front lot line, and • prohibit certain sensitive land uses until a Record of Site Condition is completed and a Ministry Acknowledgement Letter is provided.
What this kind of application is
A zoning by-law amendment changes what the zoning allows on a property: the uses, the height, the density or the setbacks. Council decides it after a statutory public meeting, and anyone can comment before then.
