The Planning and Building Services Department received applications for an Official Plan Amendment, Zoning By-law Amendment and a Draft Plan of Subdivision for lands located at 1262 and 1290 Fourth Avenue.
The Applicant is seeking approval for a subdivision of the lands which includes the creation of a new public road, an extension of Pathstone Way through the site, a new public park, and several future development blocks. The concept plan includes one 8-storey residential apartment building, two 8-storey mixed-use buildings, four blocks of street townhouses, and a private road development comprised of townhouses.
The City’s Official Plan designates the subject land Mixed Use, with a special policy prohibiting residential uses on the ground-level and standalone residential uses. The Applicant has requested an Official Plan Amendment to permit the development allow for standalone residential uses on the ground floor of the proposed buildings located south of Pathstone Way.
The Zoning By-law zones the subject land Business Commercial Employment with Special Provision 5 and Holding Provision 3 (E1-5-H3). The applicant has requested to rezone the subject lands to High Density Mixed Use (M3), High Density Residential (R4) and Minor Green Space (G2) with a modified version of Special Provision 5 to permit the proposed development. Holding Provision 3 is to remain on the lands, and the application does not seek amendments to Holding Provision 3.
