Notice of Complete Application and Public Metting

Description of Application:

Official Plan Amendment: The purpose of the amendment is to redesignate a portion of the subject lands, located north of the Gauthier Drive extension and west of the proposed ‘Street A’, from ‘Employment Area’ to ‘Neighbourhood Area’. The OPA further seeks the implementation of a Defined Policy Area to align the Town of Penetanguishene Official Plan with the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe, facilitating the conversion of these Employment Lands.

Draft Plan of Subdivision: The proposal is to develop the lands into 283 lots for Single Detached Dwellings, Blocks for Townhouses having 281 units for a total unit count of 564, and 11 blocks for employment land uses. Additionally, one (1) block for a park, and two stormwater management ponds, together with roads, road widenings and daylight triangles to be dedicated to the Town.

Zoning By-law Amendment: The subject site is designated Neighbourhood Area and Employment Area under the Town’s Official Plan. The property is zoned Rural “RU” Zone and Deferred Development “D” Zone. The requested rezoning proposes: five (5) new site-specific residential zones that have reduced requirements for Lot Frontage, Lot Area, Front, Rear and Side Yard setbacks and increased Lot Coverage for the Main Building and Accessory Buildings. The application also proposes one (1) new site-specific industrial zone that provides for reduced permitted uses, as well as Open Space zones.
