    b)            the request to amend Zoning By-law No. Z.-1 to change the zoning of the subject property FROM a Residential R1 (R1-6) Zone TO a Residential R5 Special Provision (R5-7(_)) Zone, BE REFUSED for the following reasons:

    i)             the requested amendment does not conform to the residential intensification policies in the 1989 Official Plan or *The London Plan;

    ii)            the requested amendment did not provide appropriate development standards to regulate the form of residential intensification and assist in minimizing or mitigating potential adverse impacts for adjacent land uses to ensure compatibility and a good fit with the receiving neighbourhood; and,

    iii)           the Zoning By-law does not contemplate this level of residential intensity in a cluster townhouse form outside of Central London; and,

    c)            the trees on the westerly and northerly boundary BE PROTECTED AND BE PRESERVED with the exception of invasive species or trees that are in poor condition;

    it being noted that the Municipal Council approves this application for the following reasons:

    •              the recommended amendment is consistent with the 2014 Provincial Policy Statement (“PPS”) which encourages intensification and infill as a means to manage growth and achieve a compact form of development within settlement areas. The PPS directs municipalities to permit all forms of housing required to meet the needs of all residents present and future;

    •              the recommended amendment conforms to The London Plan which contemplates townhouses as a primary permitted use, and a minimum height of 2-storeys and maximum height of 4-storeys within the *Neighbourhoods Place Type where the property has frontage on a *Civic Boulevard.  The subject lands represent an appropriate location for residential intensification, along a higher-order street at the periphery of an existing neighbourhood. The recommended amendment would permit development at an intensity that is appropriate for the site and the receiving neighbourhood. The recommended amendment would assist in providing a range of housing choice and mix of uses to accommodate a diverse population of various ages and abilities;

    •              the recommended amendment conforms to the 1989 Official Plan and would implement the residential intensification policies of the Low Density Residential (“LDR”) designation that contemplate residential intensification in the form of cluster townhouse dwellings and a density up to 75 uph. The recommended amendment would permit development at an intensity that is less than the upper range of the maximum density for residential intensification within the LDR designation to ensure the form of development is appropriate for the site and the receiving neighbourhood. The recommended amendment would assist in providing housing options and opportunities for all people;

    •              in conformity to *The London Plan and the 1989 Official Plan policies that require a public Site Plan Approval (“SPA”) process for residential intensification proposals, a holding provision is recommended for public site plan review. The holding provision would allow the public a continued opportunity to comment on the form of development through the subsequent SPA process and ensure that the ultimate form of development is compatible with adjacent lands uses; and,

    •              consistent with the PPS and conforming to The London Plan and the 1989 Official Plan, a holding provision is recommended to ensure the subject lands area assessed for the presence of archaeological resources prior to site alteration or soil disturbance occurring.  (2019-D09)
