• introduce new and revised urban design policies to enhance existing objectives, including a new urban design schedule to illustrate urban design elements including: primary streets, secondary streets, enhanced streetscape areas, urban squares, and gateways;
• designate the northwest corner of Kerr Street and Speers Road entirely Urban Core to facilitate comprehensive redevelopment;
• introduce bonusing permissions to the Main Street 1 designations within the Kerr Village Main Street District;
• permit stand-alone residential uses in certain contexts within the Main Street 1 and Main Street 2 designations;
• permit stand-alone office uses and limited commercial uses within existing detached dwellings north of Lakeshore Road;
• extend the Kerr Village Growth Area boundary in the Lower Kerr Village District to Dorval Drive in the west and Sixteen Mile Creek in the east;
• introduce the Greenbelt Urban River Valley to the lands subject to the new Greenbelt Plan (2017);
• update the Kerr Village Land Use Schedule and South East Land Use Schedule accordingly; and,
• enhance clarity and intent through housekeeping amendments.
