    b)    the Approval Authority BE ADVISED that the following issues were raised through the application review process for the property located at 146 Exeter Road:

    i)    concerns with the single-family home sprawl as that area as has 20% fewer units than the medium density area but takes up nearly twice as much space;
    ii)    believing this is an inefficient use of space;
    iii)    indicating that sprawl incentivizes driving and disincentivizes active and public transit;
    iv)    believing that sprawl costs the City more money to maintain and service;
    v)    indicating that sprawl is financially unsustainable;
    vi)    indicating that the staff report indicates that green space is provided as the focal point and central gathering area; noting there are two greenspaces at opposite ends;
    vii)    advising that the greenspace at the top is Open Space 5 where a park cannot be established and the Open Space 1 greenspace is down near the single family homes where there are backyards;
    viii)    stating that there is a park in the neighbouring community which is good for anyone who does not have to cross Bradley Avenue; noting that the residents in the medium density area who want to go to a park with a playground will have to cross four lanes of traffic;

    xi)    providing bike paths is great but consideration needs to be given to where people can store their bikes when at home;
    xii)    believing that if the single-family units were to be replaced with more dense options such as townhouses, three storey walk ups, mixed use buildings, it would increase the number of homes in this area;
    xiii)    requesting a review of the major road alignment; and,
    xiv)    indicating that there is not a central gathering point in the development and if the development was denser, there could be a gathering space in the middle of the development;

    c)    the Approval Authority BE ADVISED that the Municipal Council supports issuing draft approval of the proposed plan of residential subdivision, submitted by 1103125 Ontario Inc., (File No. 39T-22502), prepared by Monteith Brown Planning Consultants, Project No. 20-20801, dated May 18, 2022, which shows 307 single detached lots; sixteen (16) low density townhouse blocks, four (4) medium density residential blocks; one (1) commercial block; (2) open space/drainage blocks; twelve (12) road widening and reserve blocks, serviced by six (6) new local streets (Street Q, R, S, T, U and V), SUBJECT TO the conditions appended to the staff report dated July 17, 2023 as Appendix “B”;

    •    the proposed zoning amendments conform to The London Plan and the Southwest Area Plan;
    •    the related plan of subdivision, under review by the Approval Authority, supports a broad range of low and medium density residential development opportunities within the site including more intensive, mid-rise apartments and townhouses along the Bradley Avenue West corridor and commercial/industrial uses along Wharncliffe Road South.  The red-lined Draft Plan has been designed to support these uses and to achieve a visually pleasing development that is pedestrian friendly, transit supportive and accessible to the surrounding community; and,
