Description of Proposed Amendments
The City of Burlington Official Plan (1997), as amended, designates the subject property as “Mixed Use Corridor – General”. This designation permits mixed-use development with a maximum building height of 6-storeys and a maximum Floor Area Ratio of 1.5:1.
The City’s new Official Plan (2020) is subject to appeals. The new Official Plan identifies the subject property as being located within a Primary Growth Area and designates the property as “Urban Centre” within the “Upper Brant Precinct”. This designation permits mixed-use development with a maximum height of 25 storeys.
The applicant proposes to amend the Official Plan (1997) to create a site-specific Mixed Use Corridor - General designation to permit a maximum building height of 31-storeys and a maximum floor area ratio of 11.55:1.
The City’s Zoning Bylaw zones the subject lands as MXG (Mixed-Use Corridor – General). This zone permits mixed-use development with a maximum height of 6 storeys and a maximum Floor Area Ratio of 1.5:1.
The applicant proposes to amend the Zoning Bylaw to rezone the site to MGX-XXX, creating a new site-specific exception (-XXX) that permits development with a maximum Floor Area Ratio of 11.55:1, maximum building height of 31-storeys, reduced parking, reduced accessible parking, reduced amenity area to a minimum of 9.2m² per dwelling unit, reduced setbacks for the underground parking structure, reduced setbacks to the property lines, reduced landscape areas and reduced parking space dimensions.
