Corbett Land Strategies has made an application to amend the Official Plan designation and Zoning for the lands located at 2169-2175 Ghent Ave.. The File Reference Nos. are 505-07/24 & 520-14/24.

The application proposes the redesignation and rezoning of the subject properties to construct two, three-storey buildings that will provide a total of 12 purpose built rental units and will include an affordable or attainable housing component. The proposed walk-up apartment would provide a density of 70 units per hectare and would offer a minimum of 355 m2 of amenity space and 57 m2 of privacy area. The proposed walk-up apartment style buildings would include 16 parking spaces with one (1) of those being accessible. A fully enclosed accessory structure for the storage of waste that is designed to complement the design of the residential buildings is included in the development concept.

The subject lands are designated ‘Residential – Low Density’ in the City of Burlington Official Plan (1997), as amended and the New Official Plan (2020), respectively.

The applicable zoning of the subject lands is R2.3 (Residential Low Density).

The proposed designation for the site is ‘Residential – Medium Density’ and a site specific RM3, with amendments including, but not limited to, permitted uses; increases to maximum density; minimum required yards; required amenity area; and minimum required parking.

You are invited to attend a Public Meeting under the Planning Act concerning these applications.
