Description
An Official Plan Amendment, Zoning By-law Amendment, and Draft Plan of Subdivision Modification application has been submitted to facilitate the development of 544 dwelling units, consisting of 149 detached dwellings and 395 townhouse dwellings, along with parkland and a stormwater management facility.
The lands were previously subject to a City-initiated Official Plan Amendment (OPA 147), as well as applicant-initiated Zoning By-law Amendment and Draft Plan of Subdivision applications (AM-2023-007 & 26T-11-2023- 002). Staff note that the Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment were appealed and are before the Ontario Land Tribunal.
The subject lands are designated Industrial, in part, Environmental Protection Area, in part, and Environmental Conservation Area, in part, in accordance with the City’s Official Plan. The applicant is proposing to redesignate the lands to Residential, in part, and Open Space, in part, with a Special Policy Area that will restrict building heights to 12 metres.
The lands are zoned Light Industrial (LI) Zone, in part, Hazard Land (HL) Zone, in part, and Development Holding (DH) Zone, in part, in accordance with Zoning By-law No. 79-200. The applicant is proposing to rezone the lands to site-specific Residential Mixed (R3) Zone, in part, site-specific Open Space (OS) Zone, in part, and site-specific Environmental Protection Area (EPA) Zone, in part.
The proposed modifications to the approved Draft Plan of Subdivision include relocation and reconfiguration of the parkland and stormwater management facility blocks, relocation of and reduction to the number of blocks for detached dwellings, an increase to the number of blocks for back-to-back townhouse dwellings and on-street townhouse dwellings, and the removal of blocks for multiple residential development.
Digital copies of plans and documents submitted with the application may be obtained on the Planning Department Current Applications webpage.
