Agent: Stuart Miller, MMA Architect Inc and Lassaline Planning Consultants, Jackie Lassaline has been retained to undertake a planning justification report.
Registered Owner: 2616807 Ontario Limited
Proposal:
Throughout its ninety-six (96) year history this traditional main street building was used for a number of neighbourhood commercial uses on the first floor and residential apartments above the commercial use. The second floor residential apartment units are considered legal, non-conforming under the (CD2.1) bylaw.
The applicant proposes to convert the existing two story, mixed use traditional main street building with four residential apartments on the second floor and two commercial units on the first floor to a multiple dwelling with six dwelling units. Specifically, the proponent is proposing to convert the two existing vacant main floor commercial units into two dwelling units. The four dwelling units on the second floor will remain, but will be renovated. The four dwelling units on the second floor will remain for a total of six residential units in the low profile building.
The building height will remain, and there will be no exterior additions to the building. Minor exterior renovations will be made to accommodate the two new dwelling units on the ground floor where two commercial units had historically been.
The applicant is requesting amendments to Zoning By-law 8600 to add site specific regulations and zoning provisions. The amendments to Zoning By-Law 8600 will change the current Commercial District 2.1 (CD2.1)/ Residential District 3.1 (RD3.1) zoning to Commercial District 2.2’ (CD2.2) and add a site specific provision to Section 20(1) permitting a multiple dwelling as an additional permitted use. The site specific amendment will also permit a maximum of 6 dwelling units on the site and reduce the parking requirement from, 1.25 spaces per unit to 1.0 spaces per unit. As part of the site specific amendment the parcel is exempt from the Visitor Parking provision.
SUBMISSIONS BY APPLICANT: Applications (ZBA), Planning Justification Report, Stage 1 & 2 Archeological Assessment, survey, proposed site plan concept for a parking area and first floor, Storm Water Management Brief, and Amendment of Agreement of Purchase and Sale.
