Final Report - 10 Eva Road - Application to Lift Holding Provisions (H)

The Holding Provisions of Zoning By-law No. 600-2009 require that prior to lifting the Holding (H) symbol, the owner must satisfy the following four conditions: (i) dedication of the land shown on Schedule 'A' of the By-law for a future public road; (ii) provision of detailed cost estimates and adequate financing for 50% of the cost of constructing the future public road from Eva Road to the extension of the northern boundary of the Lands; (iii) entering into an agreement between the owner of the Lands, or any portion of the Lands, and the City, that will provide for the landscaping and maintenance, at no cost to the City, of the land to be dedicated as shown on Schedule 'A' of the By-law for a future public road until such time as the public road is constructed; and (iv) one or more of the following conditions being fulfilled: (a) permanent closure by the Ministry of Transportation of the ramps connecting Eva Road and Highway 427; or (b) provision of direct access to either Civic Centre Court or The West Mall for vehicular traffic generated by the lands shown on Schedule 'A' to the By-law with a zone symbol that possesses an "H" Holding Symbol prefix; or (c) other road alterations, traffic improvements and/or Transportation Demand Management measures satisfactory to the Chief Engineer and Executive Director of Engineering and Construction Services. All four of these conditions, specifically (iv)(c), have been satisfied. The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2020) and conforms with A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2019). This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend site-specific Zoning By-law No. 600-2009 to partially lift the Holding (H) symbol.
