Proposed Amendments
The City of Burlington Official Plan (1997), as amended, designates the subject property as ‘Business Corridor’ with site specific policies. This designation permits a wide range of employment uses such as office and industrial uses as well as a limited range of retail, service commercial and recreation uses. The property contains site-specific policy 134 which further permits a Long-Term Care Facility and Retirement Home building to a Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of 1.82:1.
The City’s new Official Plan (2020, subject to appeals) designates the property as ‘Business Corridor’. This designation permits a wide range of employment uses and ancillary employment uses as well as a limited range of accessory retail, a full range of accessory service commercial, a limited range of recreation uses.
The City’s Zoning Bylaw zones the subject property as ‘BC1-505’ (Business Corridor with site exception 505). The BC1 zone permits for a wide range of employment uses including office, industrial, hospitality, automotive as well as limited retail, service commercial and recreation uses. Site exception 505 permits for additional uses including a 5-storey Long-Term Care Facility and a 6-storey Retirement Home as well as related accessory uses such as a Day Care Centre, Medical Clinic (with accessory Pharmacy), and convenience restaurant.
The applicant proposes to amend the existing Official Plan site-specific policy 134 and Zoning exception 505 to facilitate increase height for the Retirement Home building of 8-storeys, a Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of 2.03:1 and a reduced off-street parking rate for the Retirement Home use of 0.53 spaces per unit.
