45 Manchester Ave. - Notice of Public Meeting

Proposal 

The Planning and Building Services Department has received an application for Zoning By-law Amendment for 45 Manchester Avenue. The application was deemed complete on June 9, 2026 pursuant to Section 34 (10.4) of the Planning Act. 

The Applicant is seeking an approval to permit a new day care use within the existing private road development. The day care will be located within an existing building.

The Garden City Plan (Official Plan) designates the subject lands Medium Density Residential. A day care is permitted as an ancillary use in the Medium Density Residential designation. 

The City’s Zoning By-law No. 2013-283 currently zones the subject lands Medium Density Residential – Suburban Neighbourhood (R3). The Applicant proposes to add a new Special Provision to permit the day care use.
