It should be noted that all above mentioned uses are proposed, as defined, in the City of Windsor Zoning By-law.

The applicant has submitted a Zoning By-law Amendment application to this effect (Refer to Appendix A – Development Application).

• 1.2 Description of Site

  The subject site is located on the north side of North Talbot Road, with flankage on both Sixth Concession Road and Pioneer Avenue (refer to Figure 1.0 - Location Map). The subject site is largely vacant but a smaller adjacent property with a vacant single detached dwelling (to be demolished) was recently incorporated into the subject site. All lands are owned by the Applicant. The lands are legally described as Pt Lot 12, Concession 5; Pt 1, 2 & 7, 12R-23594, Block 197, 12M-355.

  The subject site area under application is approximately 0.6 hectares (1.6 acres), having approximately 95.69 m (313.9 Ō) of frontage on North Talbot Road. Municipal services are available from the adjacent streets and can be provided so that the site is on full municipal services when developed.

• 1.3 Proposed Development

  It should be noted that the proposed development is concurrently being reviewed for an amendment to the existing Site Plan Control Agreement. It is anticipated that the proposed mixed use development will have a mix of residential apartment units and ground floor commercial retail units (refer to Figure 4.0 – Proposed Site Plan). A plan of condominium will be created for the proposed development. Accordingly, a respective Plan of Condominium application will be submitted under separate cover. The development will be at a human scale and oriented such that there will be no significant impact to the surrounding residential properties. Privacy fencing will be installed at appropriate locations.

  As per sections 24.20.5 and 24.20.7 of the Zoning By-law, a wide range of parking requirements scenarios could be accounted for on the subject site. Under the most parking intensive scenario, 118 parking spaces could be required for the proposed development. General commercial uses would require 1 space per 22.5m2 of commercial GFA and 1.25 spaces per residential unit. As such, a minimum of 118 parking spaces would be required. Should the building be utilized for more residential and less commercial space, the parking requirements would decrease accordingly. With the proposed footprint of the building and the configuration of the subject site, 108 parking spaces can be provided on site, and is reflected in the site specific CD1.12 zoning requested.

  Enhanced landscaping will be provided along the property boundary and, where feasible, existing trees will be retained. Sidewalks will extend from the development to the adjacent streets. Ingress and egress from the site will be provided from North Talbot Road.
