As the city filed it

This application proposes to amend the Zoning By-law to permit the development of a four-storey stacked and back-to-back townhouse building containing 62 dwelling units and 31 surface parking spaces. City Planning staff have reviewed the proposal and are recommending approval of the application in an amended form. Staff will refer to the applicant's original proposal as the "Applicant's Proposal," while the amended form of the application, supported by staff, will be referred to as the "Amended Proposal." The changes made to the proposed Zoning By-law Amendment address several concerns with the Applicant's Proposal raised through the development review process and in consultation with the community.

This has resulted in an Amended Proposal with 1) greater building setbacks along Huntingwood Drive (an identified Major Street in the Official Plan) to enable the creation of an enhanced public realm; 2) a reduced massing to complement the existing physical character while having regard for the future redevelopment of the neighbourhood; 3) a minimum parking rate to reduce the impacts of parking spilling over onto neighbouring streets; and 4) amenity space for residents' exclusive use. A holding provision is placed on the lands to ensure outstanding engineering issues are resolved to the satisfaction of the Chief Engineer and Executive Director of Engineering and Construction Services prior to permitting the development. The Amended Proposal is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2020) and conforms with A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2020). The Amended Proposal also conforms to the City's Official Plan. This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-law on the basis that the Amended Proposal represents good planning and will set a positive precedent for the future redevelopment of similar sites along Huntingwood Drive and Victoria Park Avenue.
