Revised Proposal (September 2024)

1334281 Ontario Limited has resubmitted applications for Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment. The following is a summary of key changes made to the proposal:

  • The building height has been reduced from 12 storeys to 10 storeys.
  • The number of dwelling units (262 units) has remained the same between the original and revised proposals.
  • The applicant is proposing a single retail/commercial unit located within the ground floor of the building. The unit fronts onto Whites Road, and is approximately 81 square metres.
  • A total of 404 parking spaces are proposed for the development, including 339 residential spaces and 65 visitor/retail spaces.
  • A total of 158 bicycle parking spaces are proposed for the development, including 131 residential bicycle spaces, and 29 visitor/retail bicycle spaces.
  • The applicant is proposing road improvement works at the intersection of Whites Road and Granite Court. More information can be found in the Revised Traffic Impact Study, which can be viewed below (see Section 7.21 and Appendix G of the Report).
  • A privately-owned-public-space (POPS) is no longer being proposed at the southeast corner of the building.

The applicant is still seeking amendments to the City's Official Plan and Zoning By-law.

The purpose of the Official Plan Amendment is to increase the maximum residential density from 80 dwelling units per hectare to 221 units per hectare.

The purpose of the Zoning By-law Amendment is to change the existing zoning to an appropriate site-specific zone category to implement the applicant’s proposal, and introduce appropriate zoning regulations.
