Notice of Statutory Public Meeting and Recommendation Report for 1393 Graham’s Lane, Aug. 7, 2024
MacNaughton Hermsen Britton Clarkson (MHBC) Planning Ltd. has made an application on behalf of the landowner to amend the Official Plan and Zoning Bylaw for the lands located at 1393 Graham’s Lane. The File Reference Numbers are 505-01/24 and 520-04/24.
Proposed Development
The application proposes to amend the Official Plan and Zoning Bylaw to permit the development of three residential buildings with a combined total of 722 residential units, a density of 668.5 units per hectare and a total Floor Area Ratio of 4.25:1. Proposed Building A (east) is 16 storeys tall with 311 units, Building B (southwest) is 9 storeys tall with 125 units, and Building C (northwest) is 20 storeys tall with 286 units. The proposed development includes 598 vehicle parking spaces and 398 bicycle parking spaces.
Application materials are posted at www.burlington.ca/1393Grahams.
Proposed Amendments
The City of Burlington Official Plan (1997), as amended, designates the subject property as “Mixed-Use Corridor – Employment”. The City’s Official Plan (2020, subject to appeals) designates the property as “Urban Corridor – Employment”. The City’s Zoning Bylaw zones the subject property as “MXE (Mixed-Use Corridor – Employment)”.
The current Official Plan designation and zoning do not permit residential uses. The applications request Official Plan amendments to redesignate the subject property to “Mixed-Use Corridor – General” with site-specific policies for land use, intensity of development and building height. The applications also request Zoning Bylaw Amendments to rezone the subject property to “MXG (Mixed-Use Corridor – General)”, with site-specific regulations to permit increased height and intensity, reduced parking and amenity area and other technical amendments. The requested amendments, if approved, would permit the proposed development described above.
