Description
Most of the subject lands are designated Mixed Use in the Official Plan, though a small portion is designated Business Park Employment. The main purpose of the Official Plan Amendment is to re-designate the whole of the lands to Mixed Use and modify the Specific Policy Area to allow a maximum floor space ratio (FSR) of 5.8 and a maximum building height of 83m (26 storeys). Similarly, the main purpose of the Zoning By-law Amendment is to re-zone the whole of the lands to MIX-2, and to modify the site specific provisions to allow an FSR of 5.8, a building height of 83m (26 storeys), a parking rate of 0.72 spaces per unit, among other requests for relief. The amendments would facilitate the applicant’s development concept, which proposes 5 multiple residential buildings of varying heights (i.e., 26, 20, 20, 16, and 10 storeys), commercial uses on the ground floor of the 16-storey building, a large underground parking facility, limited surface parking, and a private amenity area with links to the existing trail network. Cross reference with ZBA21/015/L/AP
What this kind of application is
