On Monday, June 16, 2025, the Town Council passed By-law 2025-095, which adopted Official Plan Amendment 071, under section 17(23), of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. P.13, as amended and passed Zoning By-law 2025-096 under section 34 of the Planning Act.
The purpose of the official plan and zoning by-law amendment application is to change the site-specific exception policies applying to the lands to allow for 3 blocks of four storey back-to-back townhouses with rooftop amenities and a mixed-use building along Lakeshore Road West for a total of 48 units, and approximately 170 square metres of ground floor commercial. A total of 76 parking spaces are proposed, 59 of which are in at-grade parking garages below each back-to-back townhouse block. Of the parking spaces, 17 are stacked, with an additional 11 surface parking spaces with six reserved for commercial / visitor parking at the rear of the mixed-use block. The purpose of the plan of subdivision application is to permit the proposed development to proceed as a common element condominium, as the site is not currently within a Block in a plan of subdivision.
The subject lands are located on the northeast corner of Garden Drive and Lakeshore Road West and is municipally known as 105, 115 -159 Garden Drive.
The subject lands are subject to a Site Plan Application (File No. SP.1617.058/02).
The Council’s decision reflects that the comments from the public have been appropriately addressed.
