Notice of Statutory Public Meeting and Recommendation Report for 236 Plains Rd. E.

Description of Proposed Development

The application proposes to amend the Zoning Bylaw to permit a 4-storey condominium townhouse block consisting of six units fronting on a private condominium road. This proposal would replace the existing single-detached dwelling on the property.

Application materials are posted at burlington.ca/236plainsroadeast.

Description of Proposed Amendments

The City of Burlington Official Plan (1997), as amended, designates the property as “Residential Medium Density”, which permits detached and semi-detached homes, townhouses, street townhouses and stacked townhouses, back-to-back townhouses, attached housing and walk-up apartments. In Residential-Medium Density areas, either ground or non-ground-oriented housing units with a density ranging between 26 and 50 units per net hectare are permitted.

The City’s Official Plan (2020, subject to appeals) designates the property as “Urban Corridor”, which permits residential uses and mixed-use developments in buildings between 2 and 6-storeys in height, and a Floor Area Ratio of 2.0:1. The Official Plan (2020) is subject to appeals and the “Urban Corridor” policies are not in effect for this property.

The City’s Zoning Bylaw zones the subject property as “Residential Medium Density” (RM1-346). This zoning permits detached dwellings, semi-detached dwellings, duplex buildings and triplex buildings with a maximum height of two and a half storeys.
