Proposal:
Proposed Draft Plan of Subdivision
- A total of 123 housing units are proposed including 74 single detached dwellings (Lots 1 to 74) and 49 street townhouse dwellings (Blocks 75 to 82).
- Several blocks are proposed to accommodate a stormwater management facility (Block 83), open space lands adjacent to the Court Drain (Block 84), servicing block (Block 85), road widening dedication along Perth Line 36 (Block 86) and 0.3 metre reserves (Blocks 87, 88 and 89).
New road network comprised of Streets A, B, C and D. Street A would provide access to Mornington Street and Deacon Street (from the adjacent residential subdivision to the south) whereas Street C would provide access to Perth Line 36.
Official Plan Amendment Application
The purpose of the Official Plan Amendment application is to add a site-specific policy to permit a residential density of 30 units per hectare whereas the Medium Density Residential Special designation that applies to the lands requires a residential density of 23 units per hectare. A limited number of single detached lots are partially designated Parks and Open Space however they do not contain natural heritage features. Through this Amendment, Lots 18-24 are proposed to be redesignated from Parks and Open Space to the requested Medium Density Residential Special site-specific policy area to accommodate the proposed development.
Zoning Bylaw Amendment Application
This Application seeks to rezone the subject lands from the Urban Reserve (UR) Zone to a site-specific Residential Second Density (R1(5)-XX) Zone to allow single detached dwellings, a site-specific Residential Fourth Density (R4(1)-YY) Zone to allow street townhouse dwellings, a Park (P) Zone for the stormwater management and servicing blocks and an Open Space (OS) Zone for lands adjacent to the Court Drain.
The proposed R1(5)-XX Zone would be subject to the same regulations associated with the parent R1(5) Zone except for the following site-specific regulations: reduced minimum lot area (corner lot) of 375 m2 and reduced minimum lot frontage (corner lot) of 12 m are requested compared to the required minimum lot area (corner lot) of 450 m2 and required minimum lot frontage (corner lot) of 15 m.
The proposed R4(1)-YY Zone would be subject to the same regulations associated with the parent R4(1) Zone except for the following site-specific regulation: increased maximum density of 48 housing units per hectare compared to the required maximum density of 35 housing units per hectare.
