The purpose of the amendment is to rezone lands to permit a bed and breakfast establishment as part of an existing single detached dwelling. It is noted for reference purposes that the definition for BED AND BREAKFAST ESTABLISHMENT means an owner-occupied single detached dwelling or portion thereof in which there are no more than three (3) guest rooms, used or maintained for hire or gain on a temporary or day-to-day basis, as accommodation with or without meals, for other persons, particularly tourists or vacationers. This definition shall not include a motel, hotel, apartment dwelling house, boarding house, rooming house, restaurant or any other establishment defined in this By-law.

The effect of the amendment is to establish a Limited Service Residential – Exception Three Zone (LSR–E3) zone with a special provision that adds a bed and breakfast establishment as a permitted use on the subject property and also to rezone the property from Limited Service Residential (LSR) to “Limited Service Residential–Exception Three Zone (LSR–E3-h)”.

A holding zone is being applied which would establish the principle of development for the property but the use would not be authorized until the conditions for removal of the symbol are satisfied and the holding symbol is removed. At that point, a change of use permit could be applied for. The conditions for removal of the holding symbol as set out by Resolution of Council are that the Applicant provides: a) certification from a Solicitor that clearly states that the Webster Property at 1227 Burns Drive has uninterrupted deeded road access to the municipal road; and b) that a site plan agreement be entered into with the Township showing the location of the parking area.

Concerns related to the right-of-way for the use of Burns Drive (considered a private road by the Township) were addressed through the addition of the use of a holding symbol on the zoning with conditions for its removal requiring certification from a solicitor and concerns related to lot coverage and parking are to be addressed through the use of site plan control which is also a condition for removal of the holding symbol. The use of the holding symbol was added prior to the passage of the By-law to address the concerns raised about the right-of-way use for access, parking and lot coverage.
