Purpose of Meeting: A Zoning By-law Amendment application for 1477 County Rd. 22 located on the west side of Rourke Line Road and south of County Road 22, was received. The subject property is designated “Mixed Use” by the Lakeshore Official Plan and zoned “Mixed Use Exception 37 with Holding Symbol (MU-37) (H30)” Zone by the Lakeshore Zoning By-law 2-2012 and “Residential 1 (R1)” zone by Zoning By-law 4170-ZN-94 was received. The subject property is currently vacant.
The purpose of this Zoning By-law amendment is to permit a residential development on the site including the construction of forty-one (41) townhouse/semi-detached dwellings and one (1) 6-storey multiple dwelling building with ninety (90) units. The applicant is requesting that the zoning of the subject site be amended to a site-specific Mixed-Use Zone that permits townhouses, semi-detached dwellings and a multiple dwelling building. The site-specific MU zone provisions to accommodate the overall proposed development are for:
- An increase in maximum height to 24.0 m;
- A reduced buffer strip in a yard abutting a residential, institutional, or parks and open space zone to 1.5 metres;
- An increase in maximum gross floor area of 12,500 m2; and Semi-detached and Townhouse Dwellings as a permitted use; in accordance with the following site-specific Residential – Medium Density (R2) Zone provisions:
- An increased maximum block coverage to 52%.
The amendment would also correct an institutional zone erroneously applied to 0 Rourke Line Rd.
Council will consider an amendment to Lakeshore Zoning By-law 2-2012, as amended (File: ZBA-12-2024 and ZBA-14-2024), under Section 24, R.S.O.1990, c.P.13.
