(b) Use stormwater management measures which prevent siltation and erosion and do not negatively impact the water quality of receiving watercourses;
(c) Consider, where appropriate, enhancing the vegetation, wildlife habitats and corridors in and along the stormwater management system and the receiving watercourse; and
(d) Consider, where appropriate, providing public access to and along the stormwater management system and receiving watercourses for recreation.
A Stormwater Retention Brief (the “Brief”) has been submitted in support of the proposed applications as required by staff. The Brief addresses the requirements of this policy.
The proposed applications conform to the policies of the City of Windsor OP. The application to re-designate from Commercial Corridor to Residential on Schedule D – Land Use is appropriate. The proposed development is compatible with the adjacent Residential – Low Profile lands to the west and Commercial Corridor lands to the north and south from a density and land use perspective. The proposed development is compatible with the surrounding area in terms of scale, massing, height, siting, orientation, setbacks, parking, and amenity areas.
