Site Plan Control:

Site plan control will apply to the proposed development. Specific design issues or requirements will be considered during site plan review. Recommendation 2 directs the Site Plan Approval Officer to consider comments from City of Windsor – Engineering and Canada Post.

Interim Control By-law 103-2020:

The parcel is subject to Residential Interim Control By-law 103-2020 (RICBL) which prohibits a Group Home, Lodging House, a Shelter, and a dwelling with five or more dwelling units throughout the City of Windsor to allow a land use study to be conducted.

Council Resolution 364/2020 directs that the land use study consider, among other things, residential density. Given the Mixed Use land use designation and existing higher density multiple dwellings along Wyandotte Street East, Planning does not anticipate any conflict between the proposed development and the land use study.

Section 2(1) of B/L 103-2020 exempts a parcel from the provisions of RICBL where an amending by-law to Zoning By-law 8600 to permit a dwelling with five or more dwelling units comes into force on or after January 1, 2017. Should this application be approved, and an amending by-law come into force, the proposed development will be automatically exempt from Interim Control By-law 103-2020. Notwithstanding the automatic exemption, Recommendation 3 confirms that the development will be exempt from Interim Control By-law 103-2020.
