Notice of Complete Applications and Open house - 109 St. Paul Crescent

Proposal

The Planning and Building Services Department received applications for an Official Plan Amendment and a Zoning By-law Amendment for lands located at 109 St. Paul Crescent. The Applications were declared complete as of October 16, 2025, pursuant to sections 22 (6.1) and 34 (10.4) of the Planning Act.

The Applicant is seeking to facilitate a 10-unit private road development consisting of detached dwellings, and an expansion of the existing Rodman Hall / Twelve-Mile Recovery Centre use with the addition of a three-storey, 15-room annex building. The existing Rodman Hall building is proposed to remain. The Rodman Hall / Twelve-Mile Recovery Centre property and the proposed condominium development are intended to be separated through a future consent application.

The City's Official Plan designates the subject lands as Low Density Residential (20 to 32 units per hectare) and Natural Areas. The Applicant has requested an Official Plan Amendment to redesignate a portion of the lands in the northwestern part of the subject property from Natural Areas to Low Density Residential to facilitate the proposed condominium development with a Site-Specific Policy to permit reduced residential density permissions for the proposed condominium development. The proposed redesignation is limited to the condominium development portion of the property and does not apply to the entirety of the subject lands.

The City's Zoning By-law zones a portion of the subject lands Local Neighbourhood Institutional (I1-122-167), with the balance of the property zoned Conservation/Natural Area (G1). The Applicant has requested a Zoning By-law Amendment to adjust the Conservation/Natural Area (G1) zone boundary in the northwestern portion of the property rezone that portion to Local Neighbourhood Institutional to facilitate development of the residential development, and introduce a special provision establishing site-specific performance standards for the development including minimum lot frontage, a reduction in setback between end walls of single detached dwelling units,  and a setback reduction for the construction of the three-storey, 15-room annex building.
