The Planning and Building Services Department received an application for a Zoning By-law Amendment for lands located at 97 Hartzel Road. The Application was declared complete on June 27, 2025, pursuant to section 34 (10.4) of the Planning Act.
The Applicant is seeking to construct a five-storey, 30-unit apartment building with 32 parking spaces.
The Zoning By-law zones the subject land Medium Density Mixed Use (M1). An apartment building is permitted in the M1 zone. The Applicant is proposing to add a Special Provision for site specific matters. The requested Special Provision would reduce the lot area per unit, front and interior side yard setback, and required number of parking spaces and increase the permitted height.
