    Motion Passed
  • Motion made by:A. Hopkins

    That, on the recommendation of the Director, Development Services, based on the application by Invest Group Ltd., relating to the property located at 2096 Wonderland Road North, the proposed by-law appended to the staff report dated May 13, 2019 BE INTRODUCED at the Municipal Council meeting to be held on May 21, 2019 to amend Zoning By-law No. Z.-1, (in conformity with the Official Plan), to change the zoning of the subject property FROM a Residential R1 (R1-16) Zone TO a Residential R5 Special Provision (R5-6(_)) Zone;

    it being pointed out that at the public participation meeting associated with these matters, the individuals indicated on the attached public participation meeting record made oral submissions regarding these matters;

    it being further 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 the regeneration of settlement areas and land use patterns within settlement areas that provide for a range of uses and opportunities for intensification and redevelopment. 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 and converted dwellings 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 an Urban Thoroughfare.  The subject lands represent an appropriate location for residential intensification, along a higher-order street at the periphery of an existing neighbourhood, and the recommended amendment would permit development at an intensity that is appropriate for the site and the surrounding neighbourhood. The recommended amendment would help to achieve the vision of neighbourhoods providing a range of housing choice and mix of uses to accommodate a diverse population of various ages and abilities; and,

    •              the recommended amendment conforms to the 1989 Official Plan and would implement the residential intensification policies of the Multi-family, Medium Density Residential designation that contemplate residential intensification in the form of cluster townhouse dwellings at 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 Multi-family, Medium Density Residential designation to ensure the form of development is appropriate for the site and the surrounding neighbourhood. The recommended amendment would help to achieve the goal of providing housing options and opportunities for all people.    (2019-D09)
