The City’s Zoning Bylaw zones the subject property BC1, CE-412, O2, H-MXE-411, H-GE1-410 and BC1-471. The General Employment zone permits industrial uses, office uses and automotive uses as well as large scale retail and service commercial uses. The Open Space zoning identifies the Natural Heritage System on the property which includes the woodlands, a wetland and tributaries of Indian Creek.
The applicant is proposing to amend the Official Plan and Zoning Bylaw, to permit a mixed use development consisting of 26 development blocks including: four mixed use development blocks, an entertainment block, three educational blocks, six residential blocks, a park block, two natural heritage system blocks, three blocks associated with Indian Creek, two stormwater management pond blocks, one landscape buffer block, two MTO property line blocks and one future development block.
