On the agenda

As the city filed it

This application proposes to amend the Official Plan and amend city-wide Zoning By-law 569-2013 for 1-20 Adriatic Road. The Official Plan Amendment (OPA 758) would redesignate 18 properties, each with a detached dwelling, from Neighbourhoods to Apartment Neighbourhoods to facilitate a more intense form of development. OPA 758 would also redesignate the southeast corner of the development block as Parks and Other Open Spaces - Parks, in recognition of the on-site parkland dedication secured through the development review process, and Natural Areas for the sensitive areas within the Natural Heritage System.
