Description of Proposed Amendments
The City of Burlington Official Plan (1997), as amended, designates the subject property as “Mixed Use Corridor – Employment”, which permits industrial uses, a broad range of office uses, a limited range of retail, service commercial and personal service uses which serve the day to day needs of employees; financial institutions and services; entertainment, recreation and other community facilities, such as libraries and day care centres; and motor vehicle dealerships.
The Mixed-Use Corridor – Employment designation permits a maximum building height of 6-storeys for all uses except industrial, which has a maximum building height of 2-storeys. The designation also permits a maximum Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of 0.5:1 for industrial uses and a maximum FAR of 1.0:1 for all other uses.
The City’s new Official Plan (2020, subject to appeals) designates the property as “Urban Corridor – Employment”, which permits industrial, office, accessory retail and service commercial at grade level, home improvement and home décor sales, automotive, commercial uses, entertainment uses, and recreation uses. The maximum building height permitted for this property is 6-storeys and the maximum Floor Area Ratio is 2.0:1.
The City’s Zoning By-law zones the subject property as “Mixed Use Employment” (MXE). The “MXE” zone permits select retail commercial; service commercial community; office; automotive; entertainment and recreational uses with a maximum height of 6-storeys for non-industrial uses and a FAR of 1.0:1.
