The basis of the Amendment is as follows:
4.1 The Official Plan Amendment application (file: OPA- 2017-04) and Zoning By-
law amendment application (file: ZBA-2016-12) were submitted to the Town
for consideration on November 24, 2016 and May 11, 2017, to permit the site
specific Official Plan Amendment on the Subject Lands.
4.2 The Public Planning Meeting was held by the Town's Council on June 28,

building height of seven (7) storeys (maximum 28 metres). The land use
designations and all other policies remain unchanged.
4.4 The implementing Zoning By-law amendment will incorporate appropriate
development provisions and performance standards for the development of
the Subject Lands.
4.5 The Subject Lands are designated "Urban Residential 2" with environmental
protection lands to the south and represent an appropriate location for the
proposed increase in height which is to assist in dealing with complex
grading of the Subject Lands.
4.6 The site specific policy to increase the maximum building height by one (1)
storey as outlined in the Details of the Amendment are considered to be
compatible, appropriate and a complementary built form within the "Urban
Residential 2" designation and the 2C Community as a whole.
