Zoning By-law Amendment
The site is currently split-zoned GM14 H(11) (General Mixed-Use, Subzone 14, Maximum Height Limit of 14 metres) and R1D (Residential First Density, Subzone D). The proposed Zoning By-law Amendment seeks to rezone the whole site to GM [XXXX] (General Mixed-Use Zone, Urban Exception XXXX). The new site-specific exception addresses the following:
- Permit high-rise development.
- Reduce the minimum required rear yard setback to 5 metres.
- Increase the maximum permitted floor space index to 6.54.
- Reduce the minimum number of required residential parking spaces to 148 spaces (0.35 spaces per unit).
- Reduce the minimum number of required visitor parking spaces to 86 spaces.
- Eliminate the minimum parking requirements for commercial uses.
