Both zoning categories permit: (a) Existing Duplex Dwelling; (b) Existing Semi-Detached Dwelling; (c) One Single Unit Dwelling; and (d) Any use accessory to the preceding uses.
RD1.1 and RD1.2 zoning categories have different minimum lot width and lot area provisions for a Single Unit dwelling, as shown below:
| RD1.2 | RD1.1 | |
| Lot Width – minimum | 12m | 15m |
| Lot Area – minimum | 360m2 | 450m2 |
The subject lands are mostly described on a registered plan of subdivision RP 1098 as 40ft (12m) lots. The applicant is requesting a new zoning category (RD1.2) that allows for 40ft (12m) minimum lot widths for single unit residential developments. The lot area for each 40ft lot on RP 1098 is greater than 360m2. Parking requirement in by-law 8600 is one (1) motor vehicle parking space, minimum, required for a single unit dwelling.
A holding provision will be applied to the subject amendment in order to ensure that outstanding site development requirements (found in the CONSULTATION and the RECOMMENDATION sections of this report) are satisfied prior to any development on the subject lands. A draft by-law is attached as Appendix E.
5. SITE PLAN
The proposed amendment does NOT meet the definition of a “development” as in section 41(1) of the Planning Act. Therefore, the applicant is NOT required to submit an application for Site Plan Approval.
Risk Analysis:
The requested zoning amendment will require reopening of the closed Meighen Road right-of way and installing sidewalk on one side of the re-opened right-of-way. The Corporation of the City of Windsor should expect the usual risk factors associated with opened right-of-ways.
