Proposed Amendments
The City of Burlington Official Plan (1997), as amended, designates the subject property as ‘Residential - Medium Density’. This designation may permit either ground or non-ground-oriented housing units including detached and semi-detached homes, townhouses, street townhouses, stacked townhouses, back-to-back townhouses, attached housing and walk-up apartments, provided that these forms contain a density ranging between 26 and 50 units per net hectare.
The City’s new Official Plan (2020, subject to appeals) designates the property as ‘Residential - Medium Density’. This designation may permit ground and non-ground-oriented dwellings including single-detached and semi-detached dwellings, townhouses, street townhouses, stacked townhouses, back-to-back townhouses and low-rise residential buildings at a density of 26 to 75 units per net hectare. In addition , development may be permitted to a maximum height of 3 storeys for ground-oriented dwellings (not including rooftop amenity/outdoor areas) or 4 storeys for non-ground oriented dwellings. Development of non-ground oriented buildings shall be permitted only at the periphery of existing neighborhoods’.
The City’s Zoning Bylaw zones the subject property as ‘H-RM5’ (Residential – Medium Density with a Holding provision). The RM5 zone permits Street Townhouses to a maximum height of two (2) storeys and a minimum density of 25 units per net hectare. The application requests rezoning of the subject lands from a H-RM5 Zone (Residential – Medium Density zone with a Holding provision) to RM2-546 Zone (Residential Medium Density zone with site-specific exceptions) as well as the removal of the current Holding provision.
