Description
The Official Plan (OP) and Zoning By-law (ZBL) currently state that only commercial-type uses are permitted on the above properties; residential uses are not permitted. The owner is requesting to change the OP and ZBL to permit up to 403 residential dwelling units within buildings containing commercial uses. Additional commercial uses are requested. The owner is also requesting to reduce front, side yard, and rear yard setbacks, increase lot coverage, and reduce parking requirements. If approved, these applications could lead to the redevelopment of the lots with a mixed-use development consisting of a 13-storey building and 16-storey building, with a total of 403 dwelling units, 1,052 square metres (11,324 sq.ft.) of ground floor commercial space, and 2 levels of underground parking.
What this kind of application is
A zoning by-law amendment changes what the zoning allows on a property: the uses, the height, the density or the setbacks. Council decides it after a statutory public meeting, and anyone can comment before then.
