The subject lands are located at 7887 Edgar Street, designated Commercial on Schedule D by the City of Windsor Official Plan and zoned Commercial District 2.1 (CD2.1) by Zoning By-Law 8600. The applicant is requesting an amendment to Zoning By-law 8600 for rezoning to RD3.1 to allow a four storey (16m), 36 unit residential apartment building with 50 parking spots, 16 of which would be in 2 separate 8 car garages. Requesting building be positioned closer to the intersection than would normally be permitted by the RD3.1 zone category, and 31% of the parcel be provided as landscape open space instead of the 35% required under RD3.1.

The site may be serviced by a 600mm concrete pipe sanitary sewer and a 1200mm RCP storm sewer within Lauzon Road right-of-way. If possible existing connections should be utilized. Any redundant connections shall be abandoned in accordance with the City of

Windsor Engineering Best Practice B.P 1.3.3. The applicant will be required to submit grading plan, site servicing drawings and storm detention calculations restricting storm water runoff to pre-development levels.

Edgar Street is classified as a Class 2 Collector road requiring a 20.1m ROW width according to Schedule X. The current ROW width is 20.1m. Therefore a land conveyance is not required. Lauzon Road is classified as a Class 2 Arterial road requiring a 30m ROW width according to Schedule X.
