Location
A key map indicates the location of the lands which are subject to the above stated applications at Part of Lots 26 and 27, Concession 7 in Lakefield.
Purpose and Effect of the Applications
The purpose of the subdivision application is for a 966-unit residential plan of subdivision and includes a number of blocks intended for various uses including stormwater management, open space, and environmental protection/recreational. There are a total of 10 proposed internal streets. The residential units are in various forms ranging from single detached dwellings (281), townhouses (100) and residential apartments (586). Neighbourhood commercial uses are proposed on the main level of some of the apartment buildings. The development is proposed to be phased. The subdivision proposal includes an area of 66.1 hectares (163 ac.).
The site of the proposed subdivision is currently designated ‘Low Density – Residential,’ ‘Recreation Open Space,’ ‘Environmental Constraint Area,’ and ‘Environmental Constraint Area – Site Specific Policy Area’. The Official Plan Amendment proposes to re-designate a majority of the subject lands to ‘Medium Density – Residential’. The amendment is proposing a realignment of the ‘Environmental Constraint Area – Site Specific Policy Area.’ In addition, the official plan amendment is seeking to modify the density of development and permit neighbourhood commercial uses.
The site of the proposed subdivision is zoned ‘Development (D)’ and ‘Environmental Protection (EP)’. The zoning by-law amendment will re-zone the subject lands to ‘Residential Type 1 (R1)’ and ‘Residential Type 3 (R3)’. The amendment is proposing a realignment of the ‘Environmental Protection (EP)’ zone by re-zoning additional lands ‘Environmental Protection (EP)’. An ‘Open Space (OS)’ zone is being added to recognize pedestrian pathways and stormwater management facilities.
The OPA and ZBLA are intended to re-designate and re-zone the subject lands in order to facilitate the development of the lands by plan of subdivision as described above.
