81
Use Designations:
(P) - Permitted Use
Means a use or form of development allowed as of right in a
zoning district, subject to the regulations contained in this
Bylaw.
(D) - Discretionary Use
A use or form of development specified in this Bylaw, which may be allowed following application
to, and approval of the Council; and which complies with the development standards laid out in
Section 6.1.5 and others as required by Council and/or contained in this Bylaw.
Special limitations and standards regarding Table 6-1 and the R1A district:
(1)
where the site is serviced by a rear lane; otherwise 396
(2)
except for two storey dwellings, where it shall be 88
(3)
where the site is serviced by a rear lane; otherwise 247.5
(4)
except that no side yard is required where a common wall divides two dwelling units
(5)
where the site is serviced by a rear lane, otherwise 495
(6)
The front yard setback shall not be more than 2.0 metres from the average front yard setback of the principal buildings on adjacent, flanking sites provided that
in no case shall the setback be less than 6.0 metres.
(7)
The side yard shall be 1.5 metres or 25% of the height of the side wall of the building, whichever is greater.
(8)
The maximum building height shall be 12m and two storeys.
(9)
Site coverage may be increased to 50% where more than 50% of the required parking is enclosed as part of the principal building or an accessory
building on the same site.
(10)
Can be reduced to 180.0m 2 when a minimum of 25% of the units are designed for accessible or aging-in-place living.
(11)
Can be reduced to 6.0m when a minimum of 25% of the units are designed for accessible or aging-in-place living.
(12)
To a maximum requirement of 22.5m.
City of Martensville Zoning Bylaw
82
DISCRETIONARY USE EVALUATION CRITERIA
TWO UNIT DWELLINGS, SEMI DETACHED DWELLINGS, and MULTIPLE UNIT
DWELLINGS
(1)
The application must comply with all relevant requirements contained in the Zoning Bylaw.
(2)
The proposed development should be capable of being adequately serviced by existing infrastructure.
If infrastructure upgrades are required, the developer shall be responsible for the cost of such upgrades.
(3)
Dwellings shall be oriented to the fronting street or flanking street on corner lots. A main door and
windows shall be provided on the front elevations of all buildings. Abundant glazing at street level
is encouraged. Blank walls should not be permitted on facades adjacent to or visible from public streets
or other public spaces.
(4)
Buildings should be well proportioned and incorporate design elements that break down the perceived
scale and massing of building elements to create human scaled pedestrian environments and
aesthetically pleasing streetscapes. Buildings should be designed to visually integrate with the existing
neighbourhood.
(5)
Two-unit and semi-detached dwellings should be designed with an asymmetric balance in the building
form, proportion, and massing such that the units do not mirror each other. Alternatively, architectural
features such as bay windows and bump-outs, varied rooflines, and doors and windows, should be used
to distinguish one unit from the other.
(6)
Multiple-unit dwellings should be designed to enhance visual appeal and to decrease visual
monotony. Large building faces should incorporate intermittent variances in plan and elevation to
encourage shadow lines on the building and to assist in breaking down the apparent mass and scale
into well-proportioned volumes. Windows and doors should complement and enhance the architectural
design and satisfy functional and climatic issues.
(7)
To maintain the privacy of neighbouring properties, the location of doors and windows within the side
yard should not be aligned with doors and windows on neighbouring dwellings. In addition, doors
which provide access to a side yard should be designed to be at or near grade level.
(8)
Windows, balconies, patios and decks should be arranged so as not to unduly impact the privacy of
adjacent dwellings.
(9)
Care should be taken in designing dwellings with respect to building height, roof pitch and roof
orientation. New dwellings should be designed and located on a site so as not to be substantially out of
scale with or unduly restrict sunlight access to adjacent properties.
(10)
Accessible units, oriented to senior citizens and individuals with mobility challenges, are strongly
encouraged.
(11)
Existing trees should be protected wherever possible. Any trees which are removed should be replaced
at the rate of at least two new trees for every existing tree removed.
(12)
Whenever possible, the applicant should work with affected neighbours to address concerns related
to the likely and foreseeable impacts of the proposed development.
