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

The purpose of the official plan and zoning by-law amendment application is to change the site-specific exception policies applying to the lands to allow for three blocks of four storey back-to-back townhouses with rooftop amenity and a mixed-use building along Lakeshore Road West for a total of 48 units, and approximately 170 square metres of ground floor commercial. A total of 76 parking spaces are proposed for residents in an at grade parking garage with an additional 6 parking spaces reserved for commercial/visitor parking at the rear of the commercial block. The purpose of the plan of subdivision application is to permit the proposed development to proceed as a common element condominium, as the site is not currently within a Block in a plan of subdivision.

The subject lands are located on the northeast corner of Garden Drive and Lakeshore Road West and is municipally known as 105, 115 -159 Garden 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.
