The requested zoning by-law amendments seek to increasing the allowable unit count from a maximum 85 units permitted (and existing) at the site to accommodate the proposed 142 units, and increasing the building height from the permitted 30 metres to a proposed 32 metres.
The site is located on the south side of Weeping Willow Lane, between Varley Drive and Teron Road. The site has a land area of approximately 3.2 hectares and is currently developed with an eight-storey rental apartment building containing 85 units to remain. On the southern part of the site is a creek that forms part of the Kizell Drain and a heavily wooded area.
The proposed development would consist of a 10-storey residential-use building facing Varley Drive containing 142 residential units. The 10th storey would solely consist of indoor and outdoor amenity space and mechanical services. A total of 199 vehicle parking spaces are provided via a combination of surface and underground parking, accessed from Weeping Willow Lane via a drive aisle shared with the existing residential building.
The applicant is requesting site specific amendments to permit:
- 142 additional residential units
- Heights up to 32m
