The subject lands are located at 1091 California Avenue, designated Residential on Schedule D by the City of Windsor Official Plan and zoned Residential District 1.3 (RD1.3) by Zoning By-Law 8600. The applicant is requesting an amendment to Zoning By-law 8600 changing the zoning from Residential District 1.3 (RD1.3) to Residential District 2.1 (RD2.1) and a site specific provision to allow a for a reduction in minimum lot width for a Semi-detached Dwelling from 15.0 m to 14.0 m, to allow for the construction of a Semi-detached Dwelling on the subject parcel.
The site may be serviced by a 300mm PVC sanitary sewer and a 600mm vitrified clay storm sewer within California Avenue right-of-way. If possible, existing connections should be utilized. Any redundant connections shall be abandoned in accordance with the City of Windsor Engineering Best Practice B.P 1.3.3.
Schedule X of the Official Plan classifies California Avenue as a Local Road, requiring a right-of-way width of 20.m. The current right-of-way is 15.2m; therefore, a land conveyance for 2.4m is required, but is not being requested. Driveways are to be constructed as per AS-221 or AS-222, complete with straight flares and no raised curbs within the right-of-way.
In summary we have no objection to the proposed rezoning.
