Proposed Amendments
The City of Burlington Official Plan (1997), as amended, designates the subject property as ‘Mixed Use Corridor - General’. OPA 118 permits two mixed-use buildings with residential and at-grade office and commercial uses, with a maximum building height of 9 storeys (inclusive of the rooftop mechanical penthouse), stacked townhouse units and a maximum density of 211 units per hectare.
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 Corridor”, which permits mixed-use developments with a maximum building height of six storeys and maximum Floor Area Ratio of 2.0:1.
The site is zoned as ‘Mixed Use Corridor – General’ (MXG-504) which permits residential uses as well as a range of commercial/retail type uses.
