1. A01 2024 Notice Of Public Hearing (Homewood Avenue Block 14)

The subject lands are part of a planned subdivision by the applicant, 2003603 Ontario Corporation/McDonald Homes. During the design process for Block 14, it was determined that the design exceeded the provisions for Maximum Lot Coverage in the R2 Zone, in part due to the unusual shape of the lots owing to the former Canadian National Railway track located along the rear of the property. Instead of redesigning the entire townhouse structure at additional costs and delays, a Minor Variance was pursued by the developer.

The Minor Variance will only apply to the townhouse block located at Block 14 in the Draft Plan of Subdivision; it is anticipated that other developments in the subdivision will meet the provisions of the R2 Zone.

Relief has been requested from Comprehensive Zoning By-law 2010-105: Section 7 - Table 2 - Provisions for Residential Uses for the Residential 2 One. Relief is requested for the Maximum Lot Coverage Provision, to increase the maximum permitted lot coverage from 40% to 48%.
