The County of Peterborough has received a complete application for a plan of subdivision in accordance with Sections 51 (17) and 51 (19.1) of the Planning Act. The application has been assigned file number 15T-22001.

The Township of Asphodel-Norwood has received a complete application for a Zoning By-law Amendment in accordance with Section 34(10.4) of the Planning Act. The application has been assigned file number ZBLA-02-22.

Public Meeting
A public meeting was hosted by Asphodel-Norwood Township Council on July 26, 2022. The full agenda and minutes are available on the Township's website.

Location
A key map indicates the location of the lands which are subject to the applications. The lands are located in Lots 18 and 19, Concession 8, Asphodel Ward, Township of Asphodel-Norwood, and are known municipally as 158 Albine Street.

Purpose and Effect of the Applications
The purpose and effect of the subdivision application is for the approval of a 148 unit residential plan of subdivision. The proposal represents the fourth phase of the Norwood Park residential development within the Norwood Settlement Area. It includes 96 detached dwellings, 52 townhomes, as well as blocks for a park, open space, walking paths, roadways and stormwater. An Official Plan amendment was approved in November 2021 that recognizes this form of development.

The subject lands are currently zoned “Rural”. The proposed zoning by-law amendment is intended to rezone the subject lands to “Residential One” and “Residential Two” in order to permit smaller-sized single and multiple dwelling lots than the 30 hectare minimum currently required by the Rural zone.
