Council Public Meeting Tuesday March 26, 2024 at 7pm
On the Agenda:
Request for Comments – Revised Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment Applications – 101 Bloomington Development Inc. – 101 Bloomington Road
The applicant submitted revised Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment applications on January 29, 2024, to permit a medium density residential development to be comprised of 42 three storey stacked townhouse dwelling units and one (1) level of parking located partially above and partially below grade.
Access to the proposed development is to be provided via a private driveway from Yonge Street which will also serve as a connection to the vacant lands to the east.
Background
In November 2019, the City received Zoning By-law Amendment and draft Plan of Subdivision applications to permit a medium density residential development to be comprised of 18 townhouse dwelling units on a private road
In December 2022, the City received a related Official Plan Amendment application and a revised Zoning By-law Amendment application to permit a 12-storey high density residential development
The revised Zoning By-law Amendment applications were considered at a Council Public Meeting held on March 21, 2023.
During the meeting and in comments received following the meeting, concerns were raised with respect to the scale of the proposed development:
its potential impact on the privacy of residents within the subdivision located to the east,
the potential cumulative negative impacts of development on the Oak Ridges Moraine,
the height of the 12-storey development proposal and the adverse effects it would have on the property,
and the compatibility with the character of the area and the green space to the south and east of the subject lands.
