Notice of Complete Application and Public Meeting - 1215 Carmel Line

Proposed Zoning By-law Amendment 1215 Carmel Line Part Lot 16, Concession 1 (Cavan) Township of Cavan Monaghan File No. ZBA-04-24

In accordance with the provisions of the Planning Act, as amended, this Notice is to advise that the Township of Cavan Monaghan Planning Department received a complete application for a Zoning By-law Amendment. The Application applies to the lands in part of Lot 16, Concession 1 (Cavan), known municipally as 1215 Carmel Line. The Zoning By-law Amendment is required to permit an accessory structure (garage) that was built on the property without the benefit of a Building Permit. The Amendment will permit a lot coverage of 9% for accessory buildings and structures. The Zoning By-law Amendment application was received by the Township on January 31, 2024 and deemed complete on February 1, 2024.

Subject Lands

A key map showing the location of the property is provided above. The lands subject to the Zoning By-law Amendment are approximately 0.34 hectares (0.83 acres) in size with approximately 55 metres (150 feet) of frontage on Carmel Line. The property was previously developed with permits for a 176 square metre (1900 square foot) single detached dwelling and a 102 square metre (1100 square foot) accessory building. The new 185 square metre (2000 square foot) accessory building was built without the benefit of a Building Permit and is currently greater than the permitted maximum lot coverage.

Purpose and Effect of Zoning By-law Amendment

The lands subject to the Application are currently zoned the Oak Ridges Moraine Countryside (ORMCO) Zone on Map G-3 to By-law No. 2018-58, as amended. A single detached dwelling and accessory buildings and structures are permitted in this Zone.

The maximum lot coverage for accessory buildings and structures cannot exceed the ground floor area of the principal building (house). The purpose and effect of the proposed amendment is to rezone the subject lands from the Oak Ridges Moraine Countryside (ORMCO) Zone to the Oak Ridges Moraine Countryside Exception Five (ORMCO-5) Zone to permit a lot coverage for accessory buildings of 9% of the lot area. All other provisions of the Oak Ridges Moraine Countryside Zone will apply to the subject property.
