Lands subject to the application
The subject property is known as 1151 John Street Road and is located at the south-east corner of John Street Road and Chercover Drive, as shown on the key map below.
Currently existing on the property is a vacant one-story commercial building, and several accessory buildings. To the north of the subject lands are low and medium-density residential uses. To the east of the subject lands are a single low-density residential use and vacant lands. To the south of the subject lands are low-density residential uses and a park. To the east of the subject lands are mid-rise apartment buildings. The lands are zoned “SC” – Service Commercial Zone and designated as “Service Commercial” in the Official Plan.
The subject lands are not subject to any other application under the Planning Act at this time.
Purpose and effect of the application
The purpose of this application is to rezone the subject lands from Service Commercial Zone to Urban Mid-rise Zone and to redesignate the subject lands from Service Commercial to Residential in the Official Plan.
If approved, the effect of this amendment would be the rezoning of the subject lands to “UM” – Urban Mid-rise Zone and the redesignation of the subject lands to Residential. This is to facilitate the future construction of mid-rise apartment buildings between 6 and 8 storeys.
The applicant’s site sketch showing two potential concepts is shown below.
