The application proposes the construction of a four-storey, 3,513 square metre, 64-suite hotel on the site of an existing four-storey, 95-suite hotel on the north side of Estate Drive, north of Progress Avenue and west of Markham Road.  This application proposes to amend the zoning by-law to permit an increase in density, an increase in the number of hotel bedrooms and maximum total gross floor area for hotel use.

The proposed land use is consistent with the Employment Areas designation of the Official Plan, the Provincial Policy Statement and conforms to the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe.  The proposed addition of a second hotel on the site is compatible with surrounding development and appropriate at this location.

This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the zoning by-law.
