Existing Official Plan Policies

• Residential Low Density
• Permits single-detached and semi-detached dwellings
• Maximum density of 25 units/hectare
• Other forms of ground oriented housing units may be

permitted provided that these forms are compatible with the scale, urban design and community features of the neighbourhood

Existing Zoning

• R3.1 (Low Density) Zone
• permits single-detached dwellings only

Proposed Development

• Construct 23 townhouse units and 1 semi-detached unit,

comprising a total of 25 residential units

• All units will front onto a private condominium roadway
• Road access will be from Maplehill Drive which is currently a

cul-de-sac

• 12 visitor parking spaces will be provided
• Sidewalks will be provided on one side of the private road as

you enter the site and adjacent to the visitor parking areas

• There will be a trail connection to the existing trails

Official Plan Amendment

• Re-designate lands from Residential Low Density to

Residential Medium Density Justification? According to OP Policies:

• supply owner occupied and rental housing to meet existing and

future needs (2.1b)

• encourage new residential development and residential

intensification within the urban boundary (2.2.2.1a)

• encourage integration of wide range of housing types and

discourage large concentrations of higher density residential blocks (2.2.2.1g)

Zoning By-Law Amendment

• Rezone from Low Density R3.1 Zone to the Medium Density RM2

Zone with exceptions

PROVISIONS EXISTING R3.1 ZONE RM2 ZONE PROPOSED RM2-EXCEPTION (towns/semis)

Summary of Supporting Studies

• Noise Feasibility Study (dBA Environmental Services)
• ventilation and warning clause requirements for specific units

are not required

• minimum building requirements of the Ontario Building Code

for all lots will satisfy Ministry of Environment criteria for noise control

• Tree Inventory & Preservation Plan Report (Kuntz Forestry

Consulting)

• 25 trees are evident- 19 trees are required to be removed
• all other trees will be saved provided appropriate tree

protection measures are installed prior to construction

Summary of Supporting Studies continued…

• Functional Servicing/Stormwater Management Report (MCI)
• existing sanitary sewers, storm sewers and watermains are in

place to fully service the development

• new service connections will be constructed to meet Region

and City standards

• Traffic Brief (MCI)
• increase volume on Maplehill Drive- additional 17 AM trips and

17 PM trips

• traffic on Dynes Road will be reduced as the development will

generate fewer trips than the existing school which is accessed from Dynes Road

• the additional traffic will not generate significant volumes for

any improvements to be made

Proposed Conceptual Plan

Next Steps

• Obtain your comments/feedback on the proposal
• Receive and address comments from City departments on the

applications (OPA/Rezoning)

• Site Plan Submission
