Part of Lots 22 and 23, Plan 3, Millbrook Ward
16 Frederick Street
Township of Cavan Monaghan
File No. ZBA-05-22
In accordance with the provisions of the Planning Act, as amended, this letter is to advise that the Township of Cavan Monaghan Planning Department has received a complete application for a Zoning By-law Amendment. The Application applies to lands known municipally as 16 Frederick Street in Part of Lots 22 and 23, Plan 3 of the Millbrook Ward. The Zoning By-law Amendment is required to permit an accessory apartment within a new detached garage to be constructed on the subject property. The Zoning By-law Amendment application was received by the Township on July 7, 2022 and deemed complete on August 4, 2022.


Public Meeting
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Municipal Office has limited public access and the Council of the Township of Cavan Monaghan will hold an electronic public meeting in accordance with Section 34 of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, as amended for File No. ZBA-05-22 as follows:
Meeting Date: Tuesday, September 6, 2022
Location: Township of Cavan Monaghan (electronic)
988 County Road 10, Millbrook
Time: 1:00 p.m.

Zoning By-law Amendment
The purpose of the proposed amendment is to rezone the subject lands to permit an accessory apartment within a portion of a new detached garage as a temporary use for a period of up to three years.
The subject property is zoned “Urban Residential One (UR1) Zone” and the Natural Linkage (NL) Zone as displayed on Map F-2A of By-law No. 2018-58, as amended.

Currently, By-law No. 2018-58, as amended, permits a maximum of one accessory apartment within a detached dwelling. Unless expressly permitted by the By-law, no accessory building or structure can be used for human habitation. The Township Official Plan only permits accessory apartments on a temporary basis and requires a Temporary Use By-law in order to permit an accessory dwelling unit.
The Amendment seeks to provide relief from Section 11.2 of By-law No. 2018-58, as amended, to allow the accessory apartment to be located within a detached accessory building. The subject property is proposed to be rezoned from the Urban Residential One (UR1) Zone to the Urban Residential One Exception Ten Temporary Use Six (UR1-10-T6) Zone to permit an accessory apartment within a portion of the new detached garage as a temporary use for a period of up to three (3) years.

Council may, by by-law, extend the temporary use period by as much as three (3) years at any one time. Upon expiry, the lands affected will revert to the Urban Residential One (UR1) Zone (or equivalent) and the accessory apartment will not be considered an existing non-conforming use, as specified by the Planning Act, Section 39, R.S.O. 1990, as amended.
For the purposes of this proposal, an accessory apartment shall be defined as “a separate dwelling unit, which is located within a detached accessory building (garage) that is subordinate to the existing single detached dwelling”.

All other provisions of the (UR1) Zone and the (NL) Zone will apply to the subject property.

A Key Map showing the lands to which this Amendment applies is provided on the last page.
