Proposal

Director Industrial Holdings Limited (Sorbara Group) has submitted applications for an Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment to facilitate the development of a mixed-use high-density development to be developed in phases containing a broad mix of uses including residential, office and retail. The submitted conceptual site plan envisions eight apartment towers with heights ranging from 18 to 42 storeys and 4 blocks of 4-storey stacked townhouses. The proposal includes approximately 2,884 new residential units, approximately 2,232 square metres of commercial/retail space and 4,448 square metres of office space. The plan also includes three parks, a gateway plaza, and a network of private condominium roads with two accesses onto Kingston Road.

The purpose of the proposed Official Plan Amendment is to add a site-specific exception for the subject lands to increase the maximum permitted residential density to 500 units per net hectare, and to increase the maximum permitted Floor Space Index (FSI) to 5.0. The purpose of the Zoning By-law Amendment is to change the existing zoning to an appropriate site-specific zone category to permit the proposed uses. 

These lands are located within the Council endorsed Kingston Road Corridor and Specialty Retailing Node Intensification Plan Area.
