The Planning Services department will be presenting a recommendation report with respect to this development proposal at this meeting.

The subject lands are approximately 13 hectares in size and are located on the west side of Sixth Line, north of Carnegie Drive.  Additional land to the west owned by Lower Fourth Development Limited and Pendent Development Limited has been included into the proposal.

The Official Plan Amendment application applies to Block 123 only of the Draft Plan of Subdivision and seeks to increase the allowable height from six storeys to eight storeys and increase the Floor Space Index (FSI) from 2 to 3.7.

The applicant’s Zoning By-law Amendment proposes to rezone the property from Future Development (FD), as amended by Bylaw 2022-007, to site specific Neighbourhood Centre (NC), General Urban (GU), Sub-Urban (S), Natural Heritage System (NHS) and Storm Water Management Facility (SMF) zones with specific regulations.

The concurrent Draft Plan of Subdivision proposes 193 residential units consisting of 103 detached dwellings, 90 townhouse units, a mixed use block for the eight storey building at the corner of Marvin Avenue and Sixth Line, a stormwater management facility and several natural heritage system blocks associated with the West Morrison Creek subwatershed.

Access would be from Sixth Line and future extension of Preserve Drive.

At this time there are no other applications, under the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. P.13, as amended, pertaining to the subject lands.
