The Planning and Building Services Department received an application for a Zoning By-law amendment for lands located at 148 Niagara Street. The Application is to rezone the lands to permit a nine-storey apartment building with 197 units. The application was deemed complete by the City on October 16th, 2024.
The original submission was for a seven-storey mixed use building with 192 dwelling units and 197 parking spaces. A revised application has been received that proposes a nine-storey mixed use apartment building with 197 apartment units, and 201 parking spaces located with a three-level parking structure.
The City’s Official Plan designates the subject lands Mixed Use on Schedule D1 and further designates the lands as Mixed Use on Schedule E5.
The City’s Zoning By-Law currently zones the subject land as Medium Density Mixed Use (M1). To facilitate the proposal, the Applicant is requesting to rezone the subject lands to High Density Mixed Use with Special Provisions (M3-178). The requested Special Provisions request to increase the maximum permitted lot area, lot frontage, and reduce the minimum permitted front and rear yard setbacks.
