Key Map for 1253 Tapley 1/4 Line

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 an existing lot of record known municipally as 1253 Tapley Quarter Line in Part of Lot 7, Concession 7 (Cavan).

A Zoning By-law Amendment is required to permit the conversion of a detached accessory apartment in an existing accessory building located within the residential cluster on the subject property.

Subject Lands

A key map showing the location of the property is provided.

The lands subject to the Zoning By-law Amendment are approximately 2 hectares (5 acres) in size with approximately 69 metres (226 feet) of lot frontage on Tapley Quarter Line. The property is currently developed with a single detached dwelling approximately 337 square metres (3,627 square feet) in size and a detached accessory structure approximately 91.1 square metres (980 square feet) in size. The house is serviced with a private well and septic system.

Purpose and Effect of Zoning By-law Amendment Application

The lands subject to the Application are currently zoned Rural Residential (RR), Natural Linkage (NL) and Natural Core (NC) as shown on Map D-2 to By-law No. 2018-58, as amended. A single detached dwelling and an accessory apartment, within the main dwelling, are permitted in the RR Zone. The floor area of the accessory apartment is limited to 45% of the gross floor area of the main building.

The purpose and effect of the Zoning By-law Amendment will rezone a portion of the property from the Rural Residential (RR) Zone to the Rural Residential Exception Twenty Nine (RR-29) Zone. The RR-29 Zone will permit the conversion of the existing detached accessory structure to be used as a detached accessory apartment. The By-law will also define ‘residential cluster’ for this property.
