The Planning and Building Services Department received applications for an Official Plan Amendment, Zoning By-law Amendment and a Draft Plan of Subdivision approval for lands located at 142 Queenston Street.
The Amendments are requested to permit a proposed development consisting of 9 towers each 24 storeys in height. A total of 2,443 residential units are proposed, with 2,360 square metres of commercial on the ground floor facing Queenston Street.
The lands would be subdivided into 4 blocks with Valleyview Road being extended through the site to connect with Queenston Street at Prince Street. A total of 2,977 parking spaces have been proposed.
The City’s Official Plan currently designates the subject lands Medium Density Residential. The applicant has requested an Official Plan Amendment to re-designate a portion of lands to Mixed Use to permit the proposed uses, height and density. The Official Plan Amendment also requests to re-designate the proposed trail and parkland areas to Parkland and Open Space.
The City’s Zoning By-law currently zones the subject lands Medium Density Residential with Special Provision 82 and Holding Provision H1 (R3-82-H1). The applicant has requested that a portion of the lands be rezoned to High Density Mixed Use, with a new Special Provisions (M3-187 and M3-188) and to remove the Holding Provision over the subject lands. The Zoning By-law amendment further requests to rezone the potion of the lands over the proposed trail and parkland areas to Minor Green Space (G2). The requested Zoning By-law amendment would permit the proposed uses, height and density, and provide site-specific provisions to facilitate the development.
