ZBA No. 53 – Roll No. 425901000633806 – 10th Avenue Estates
Summary
The purpose of the application is to permit an 85-unit residential development consisting of 22 cluster townhouse dwellings and two (2) apartment buildings; one (1), three-and-a-half storey building containing 29 units and one (1) four-storey building containing 34 units, for a total of 63 apartment dwellings. As part of the development, 10th Avenue East is proposed to terminate in a cul-de-sac bulb in its current location and the development would front onto a private road network approximately 7.0 m in width.
The lands are currently zoned ‘Medium Density Residential’ (R4), with a Special Provision 14.76 and ‘Hazard Lands’ (ZH) by the City’s Zoning By-law (2010-078, as amended). Townhouses are among the uses permitted in the R4 Zone. Special Provision 14.76 permits and provides site and building regulations for a School.
The effect of the application is to rezone the lands to permit Apartment buildings. The existing site-specific zoning provisions (14.76) that permit and provide site and building regulations for a School are proposed to be removed and replaced with site-specific site and building regulations required to facilitate the development including, among other matters, provisions for a maximum building height of 13.5 m for Apartments.
