Official Plan:
The Site is designated "Residential" in the City of Windsor Official Plan. The proposed Multiple Unit Dwelling is consistent with the uses permitted in the Residential designation outlined for this area.
Zoning By-Law:
The site is currently zoned Residential District (RD) 3.4 (RD3.4) and Holding Residential District (RD) 2.2 (HRD2.2) with a site-specific provision (S. 20 (1) 201).
The RD3.4 zone on the 6550 Wyandotte parcel allows a range of higher density residential uses, such as Lodging House, Multiple Dwelling, Religious Residence, Residential Care Facility, and Townhome Dwelling. However, the yard provisions of the RD3.4 zone are only "as existing", therefore yard provisions for the new development will have to be established. (See Appendix C for Zoning Comparison table)
The RD2.2 zone on the 6560 Wyandotte parcel allows a range of medium density residential uses, including: One Double Duplex Dwelling; One Duplex Dwelling; One Multiple Dwelling containing a maximum of four dwelling units; One Semi-Detached Dwelling; and One Single Unit Dwelling or Townhome Dwelling.
As well, the 6560 Wyandotte site is subject to a site-specific regulation (S. 20 (1) 201) that provides regulations for a double duplex dwelling or a Multiple unit dwelling containing 4 or fewer units as follows:
(i) Minimum lot width - 12 metres
(ii) Minimum side yard width-1.5 metres on one side and 3 meters on the other side
(iii) Maximum building height - 3 storeys
The regulations proposed by the applicant and supported by the planning department to facilitate the requested development on the site are as follows:
- i. Lot Frontage: Minimum - 30m
- ii. Lot Area: Minimum - As Existing
- iii. Main Building Height: Maximum - 24m
- iv. Number of Dwelling Units: Maximum - 26
The proposed RD3.1 zone category, with site specific provisions proposed for the site is consistent with the character of the neighbourhood in that it is similar to other uses in the area and is close amenities such as shopping and recreation. The proposed development will be subject to site plan control approval.
