surrounds them. While employment is not the major focus, these corridors create a sense of community by providing places for residents to walk such as local retail businesses and services. Local services may also include pharmacies, convenience stores and retail to serve the day to day needs of residents.

Neighbourhood policies (policy 3.3.3) denotes that these area are the most basic component on Windsor’s urban structure, facilitating a range of “low-to-medium density residential” built forms, including “some medium-density intensification.”

The Residential policies (policy 6.3.2.4 and 6.3.2.5) stipulates location and evaluation criteria for Residential development. The proposed development meets the locational criteria which includes access to a collector road, full services, adequate open spaces and community services, and public transportation service.

The subject property is not adjacent to any identified development constraints, a site of known contamination, and traffic generation and distribution is not a provincial or municipal concern. The proposed development is adjacent to residential uses which is considered a sensitive land use, however there is no change in Land Use.

The land use policies associated with the Residential Land Use designation support a complementary range of housing forms and tenures in all neighbourhoods, promote compact neighbourhoods which encourage a balanced transportation system, promote selective residential redevelopment, infill and intensification initiatives. The proposed development is a compatible residential housing type that will contribute to the types of housing forms in the neighbourhood.

The Built Form policies in Chapter 8 of the Official Plan (policy 8.7.2.3) speaks to items that address compatibility of infill in established neighbourhoods. The proposed three unit multiple dwelling building is of comparable height and massing of other properties in the neighbourhood. The use of the existing lot fabric and building spacing supports the compatibility of the design with the low-rise character of the existing streetscape.
