This application was made after January 1, 2007 and is subject to the new provisions of the Planning Act and the City of Toronto Act, 2006.
This zoning by-law amendment application proposes the development of three freehold street townhouses fronting on Kingston Road on the southeast portion of the site at 6490 Kingston Road.
The proposed land use is consistent with the Neighbourhoods policies of the Official Plan, and Site and Area Specific Policy No. 6 of the Highland Creek Community Secondary Plan. The proposed lot sizes and built form are compatible with other townhouse development in the surrounding area.
This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Highland Creek Community Zoning By-law No. 10827 from a Single-Family Residential (S) Zone to a Street Townhouse (ST) Zone to permit three freehold townhouses.
The report also recommends that the townhouse site be placed under site plan control. |
