The Corporation of the County of Peterborough has received a complete application for a plan of subdivision and an Official Plan Amendment (OPA) in accordance with Sections 51 (17), 51 (19.1) and 22 (6.1) of the Planning Act.  The applications have been assigned file numbers 15T-21002 and 15OP-21007, respectively.

The Corporation of the Township of Selwyn has received a complete application for a Zoning By-law Amendment (ZBLA) in accordance with Section 34(10.4) of the Planning Act. The application has been assigned file number C-04-21.

Public Meeting
A future public meeting will be scheduled on these applications and notification of the public meeting will be provided in accordance with the requirements of the Planning Act.

Location
A key map indicates the location of the lands which are subject to the above stated applications and legally described as Part of Block F, Registered Plan 9, Lakefield Ward (municipal address 45 Bishop Street).

Purpose and Effect of the Applications
The purpose of the subdivision application is for a 16-unit residential plan of subdivision consisting of townhouse and semi-detached dwellings. A total of four (4) lots and two (2) blocks are proposed to be created to facilitate the development. Lots 1-4 will each contain two semi-detached dwellings. Future Part Lot Control applications will be made to divide Lots 1-4, resulting in a total of 8 lots/units. Blocks 5 and 6 will contain four (4) townhouse dwellings. Future Part Lot Control applications will be made to divide the townhouse dwellings resulting in 8 dwelling units. A new municipal road is proposed, connecting to Bishop Street and terminating in a cul-de-sac. The subdivision proposal includes an area of 1 hectare (2.47 ac.).

The site of the proposed subdivision is currently designated ‘Low Density – Residential.’ The Official Plan Amendment proposes to re-designate the subject lands to ‘Medium Density – Residential’.

The site of the proposed subdivision is zoned ‘Residential Type One (R1-H)’. The zoning by-law amendment will remove the R1-H Zone and apply the ‘Residential Type Two (R2)’ and ‘Residential Type Three (R3) Zones’. Site-specific exceptions will apply to address lot area, lot frontage, rear yard setback, dwelling unit area, and maximum lot coverage deficiencies for the irregular lot shapes resulting from the cul-de-sac.

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.
