Part 1 — The Preamble
1.1 Purpose
The purpose of this Official Plan Amendment is to amend the wording in Section
C2.4 Rural designation and to amend Schedule A in the Township of Oro-
Medonte Official Plan.
The intent of the Official Plan Amendment is to amend the text of Section C2.4 —
Exceptions to add a new site-specific policy that would permit the severance of
the property for three new residential lots to be created with lot frontages of 21.0
metres and lot areas of 0.12 hectares resulting in a total of five residential lots.
1.2 Location
The lands affected by this Amendment are legally described as Plan 1, E Pt Lot
16, W Pt Lot 16, Pt Blk H and RP 51 R-37843, Part 1, and Pt Lots 15 and 16, Pt
Blk H, Township of Oro-Medonte. The subject lands are known as 298-302
Shanty Bay Road and includes two properties that have a total lot area of 0.7 ha
(1.73 acres), a lot frontage along Shanty Bay Road of 106 metres, and a frontage
along Colborne Street of 63 metres. The lands subject to this amendment are
comprised of two legally distinct properties.
1.3 Basis
The purpose of this Official Plan Amendment is to comprehensively develop the
subject lands on a site specific basis in order to rejuvenate a decaying site and
area of the Township. The result of this development will be a total of five (5)
residential lots of similar size, configuration and character as the surrounding
residential lots. One of these lots will specifically recognize an existing structure
which serves as personal storage as well as two (2) multi -residential apartments
which is required to be demolished within 3 years of adoption.
This redevelopment aims to enhance the existing uses on the lands, while
promoting a higher property standard for the community. The subject lands
possess two (2) residential dwellings, one (1) vacant commercial unit with two (2)
apartment dwellings on one parcel of land known as 300 / 302 Shanty Bay Road.
In 2010, 298 Shanty Bay Road possessed a single family dwelling when it was
converted to an accessory structure, though this parcel does also permit a single
family dwelling by right. When reviewing the existing and permitted residential /
commercial structures on the subject lands, they total four (4). This
redevelopment seeks only to reconfigure the lands such that the residential lots
will be located on separate lots and will be compatible and of the same character
7
as surrounding residential lots. This development proposes a significant aesthetic
upgrade over current, and will have a positive impact on the streetscape as seen
from all angles.
When analyzing the subject lands as a whole, in relation to surrounding features
and uses, the most appropriate development is residential lots in keeping with
the surrounding lot fabric and character. This development shall also correct the
existing legal non -conforming situation of two dwellings and one commercial
facility on the same lot.
The subject properties are currently serviced privately, and shall remain on
private services after redevelopment. The proposed redevelopment will be
sustainable on such services, and do not require any additional servicing work by
the Municipality. A hydrogeological study has been completed by Azimuth
Environmental which concludes that with the noted mitigation measures, the
proposed development will have no negative impact on the Lake Simcoe
Watershed.
The redevelopment does not intend to remove any significant existing vegetation,
and will enhance the scenic streetscape of this portion of Shanty Bay Road. The
proposed redevelopment does not negatively impact the natural character of the
existing surrounding area and is not an intrusion of an incompatible land use. In
fact, this development serves to clean up a deteriorated area of the Township
and reconfigure the lot pattern, such that they logically mesh with the surrounding
uses. This development will contribute positively to enhancement of the
Township. This amendment represents the most logical development for the
subject lands.
In order to facilitate the proposed redevelopment, a notwithstanding clause shall
be added to the Official Plan to allow the proposed development to proceed on a
site specific basis. The effect of these applications and development will be a
significant improvement of the subject lands and area of the Township, which is
in keeping with the intent of the Official Plan.
The goal and intent of these applications is to significantly improve a highly
visible, decaying, area of the Township. As a whole, the subject lands possess
two dwellings, one former dwelling recently converted, and one commercial
structure which contains two apartment dwellings, for a total of four significant
structures on two parcels of lands. These applications seek to separate these
uses onto separate parcels of land, maintaining the surrounding lot fabric and
character in each direction.
According to the policies of the Provincial Policy Statement, Growth Plan, County
and Township Official Plans, as well as the Township Zoning By-law, this Official
Plan Amendment can be considered appropriate.
