At the time of writing this report, no phone calls and no written submissions objecting to the application have been received by the Planning Services Division.
Planning Considerations:
Official Plan
The development proposal to construct a second dwelling unit on the property in the form of a garden suite as a temporary use is supported from an Official Plan policy perspective for the following reasons:
Zoning By-law Conformity
The subject lands are zoned “RU”, Rural under By-law 2010-100Z being the Zoning By-law for the City of Greater Sudbury. Garden suites are permitted within the “RU” Zone and must comply with all development standards associated with accessory buildings. Staff has reviewed the development proposal on the submitted sketch and is satisfied that the proposed garden suite would comply fully with accessory building development standards. The amending temporary use by-law being proposed would allow for a garden suite to be located on the subject lands for a period of ten years.
Summary
Staff has reviewed the development proposed and is satisfied that it conforms to the Official Plan. The proposed location of the garden suite would also comply with all zoning requirements under By-law 2010-100Z. The applicant has been made aware that the garden suite is to be removed at no expense to the City following the termination of its use including the removal of the second private septic system. The initial approval for the temporary use would be in effect for ten years with three year extensions being possible thereafter. Staff would note that a building permit is required in order to construct the garden suite, which will include appropriate approvals from the Health Unit.
The Planning Services Division therefore recommends that the application to amend By-law 2010-100Z in order to permit a second dwelling unit on the property for a period of ten years in the form of a garden suite as a temporary use be approved.
