PART I — THE PREAMBLE
1. Introduction
This part of the Official Plan Amendment No. 11 (the "Amendment"), entitled Part I —
The Preamble, explains the purpose and location of this Amendment, and provides
an overview of the reasons for it. It is for explanatory purposes only and does not
form part of the Amendment.
2. Purpose of the Amendment
The purpose of this Amendment is to change the land use designation from
"Convenience Commercial" to "Community Commercial". The provision of this
Amendment will allow commercial development that will cater to weekly shopping
and service needs of residents and business in the community including multi -tenant
commercial buildings and a supermarket.
3. Location
The lands affected by this Amendment are located north of St. John's Sideroad, east
of Yonge Street, municipally known as 800 St. John's Sideroad; having a lot area of
approximately 2.5 hectares; and are legally described as Part Lot 26, Concession 2,
Except Part 1 and Part 2 on Expropriation Plan YR2201879 (the "Subject Lands").
4. Basis of the Amendment
The basis of the Amendment is as follows:
4.1 The Official Plan Amendment application (file: OPA-2012-02) and Zoning By-
law amendment was submitted to the Town for consideration in June 5, 2012,
to permit the community commercial development on the Subject Lands,
together with a related amendment to the Town's Zoning By-law.
4.2 The original Public Planning Meeting was held by the Town's Council on
September 25, 2012, a second Public Planning Meeting was held on
September 24, 2014, a third Public Planning Meeting was held on March 25,
2015 to obtain input from members of the public and the Town's Council.
4.3 The Community Commercial designation permits food stores and/or
Supermarket which typically have larger gross floor area and serve a wider
range of residential communities.
4.4 The total size of the Subject Lands is approximately 2.5 hectares. Due to the
size of the lot being much larger than a typical convenience commercial site
and at a prominent corner location adjacent to two Regional arterial roads (St.
John's Sideroad and Bayview Avenue), the Subject Lands proposes to
optimize commercial service on by providing commercial uses that will serve
a wider community.
4.5 The implementing Zoning By-law amendment will incorporate appropriate
development provisions and performance standards for the development of
the Subject Lands.
4.6 Appropriate development of the Subject Lands for Community Commercial
uses will be achieved through the detailed review and urban design
evaluation as part of the Town's Site Plan control process.
4.7 The Community Commercial designation policies as outlined in the Details of
The Amendment are compatible with the existing uses and Official Plan land
use designations within the neighbouhood.
