Notice of Statutory Public Meeting and Recommendation Report for 3399 Appleby Line
MHBC Planning has made an application to amend the Zoning Bylaw for the lands located at 3399 Appleby Line on behalf of Summit Industrial Operating LP. The File Reference Numbers are 520-10/22.
Description of Proposed Development
The application proposes to amend the Zoning Bylaw to permit a one (1) storey industrial building and accessory office uses with access to Appleby Line. Application materials are posted on the City’s Development Project webpage at www.burlington.ca/3399appleby .
Description of Proposed Amendments
The City of Burlington Official Plan (1997), as amended, designates the subject property as “Business Corridor”, which permits a wide range of employment uses including office, industrial, utilities, transportation, hotel, conference, and convention uses as well as services trades uses. Additionally, a limited range of retail, service commercial, and recreation uses, as well as a residence for a watchman or caretaker use, may be permitted. Additionally, a portion of the property along the eastern property line is designated as ‘Greenlands’.
The City’s new Official Plan (2020, subject to appeals) designates the property as “Business Corridor”, which permits a wide range of employment and ancillary employment uses including office, industrial, utilities, transportation, service trades, hotel, conference and convention use. Additionally, a limited range of accessory retail, a full range of accessory service commercial, a limited range of recreation, and large-scale motor vehicle dealership uses may be permitted. Additionally, a portion of the property along the eastern property line is designated as “City’s Natural Heritage System”.
The proposed uses are permitted under both Official Plans.
The City’s Zoning Bylaw zones the subject property as ‘Development’ (D) and the easterly portion of the subject lands, containing the existing driveway to the adjacent Regional facility, is zoned ‘Open Space’ (O3). The ‘D’ zone is an interim zone that permits a Detached Dwelling as well as a limited range of other uses, as set out in Part 12, section 1 “D Zone”, and Part 1, subsection 2.21 “Uses Permitted in All Zones”. The O3 zone permits the uses described under Part 10, section 6 of the Zoning Bylaw.
The applicant is proposing to amend the Zoning Bylaw to amend the ‘D’ zoning of the property with site-specific regulations.
