🏢🏙️ Zoning Bylaw Amendment - 196 & 202 Dunlop Street West (Ward 2)


🏢🏙️ Zoning Bylaw Amendment - 204 Dunlop Street West (Ward 2)


🏘️🏘️ Zoning Bylaw Amendment and Draft Plan of Subdivision - 830, 864 & 912 Lockhart Road (Ward 10)

Zoning Bylaw Amendment

  • Seeking to rezone from 'Agrigultural' (A) and 'Environmental Protection' (EP) (Innisfil) to 'Neighbourhood Residential' (R5), 'Environmental Protection' (EP) and 'Open Space' (OS)

Draft Plan of Subdivision

  • Proposal to facilitate development of 338 residential units consisting of single detached dwellings and street townhouses, as well as municipal roadways, blocks for parkland, stormwater management and drainage, and environmental protection

  • One registered speaker, commented about goal to create complete communities, and this doesn't seem to fit since all single detached, no rentals. Asked if there was affordable housing as part of this build? We have affordable options (second suites, rentals, etc.) in downtown, etc., why do we not see these smaller units as part of subdivision plans?

  • Hamilton (Ward Councillor) commented it was a well-thought-out plan. Re: school & timelines, there's so much growth in that area, kids are getting bussed outside ward, wondering timelines of when school would actually go in?

    • Developer answered they've been in contact with School Board, working on timelines

  • Hamilton asked if intent to connect to Lockhart?

    • Yes, will extend into Lockhart, connect through Terry Fox, etc. Still needs connection to east, but other connections all there.

  • Hamilton re: Mapleview Drive reconstruction - completed well in advance of this construction?

    • Staff said construction should be complete before development.

  • Hamilton - frontage of houses on Prince William Way, concerns with traffic, noise, safety. Any thought or consideration to that going into design to avoid frontage directly on this?

    • Duhamel - never been a design to avoid frontage on arterial roads, but looking at traffic calming methods overall. Would be a totally different design approach to avoid frontage on collector roads.

  • Hamilton re: transit - with growth in area and lack of transit established, not seeing plans for expansion into this area, would like future reports from staff

  • Hamilton - residents upset we're getting rid of green space & agricultural. How do we balance growth with preservation of EP space, etc.?

    • Banfield - EP is one type of land use, those features are defined, mapped by professional experts, acquired by city for protection, and zoned appropriately. Agricultural more complicated - this area annexed & brought into city boundary, so agricultural use changed - currently used for agriculture until they get developed.
