The City has received Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment applications for 506-510, 516 Hespeler Road and 1000 Langs Avenue.
The Official Plan and Zoning by-law amendments will facilitate the development of the subject lands for a high-rise, mixed-use development. Five 20-storey mixed use buildings generally consisting of 1,366 apartment dwellings, office and retail uses, and a large public park are proposed. A private road network and underground parking are proposed.
Official Plan Amendment
An Official Plan Amendment is proposed to implement site specific policies to permit a residential density of 3.1 Floor Space Index (FSI) or 330 units per hectare and a maximum building height of 20 storeys. The current Hespeler Road Mixed-Use Corridor designation permits a maximum density of 2.0 FSI with a maximum building height of 12 storeys.
Zoning By-law Amendment
A Zoning By-law Amendment is required to rezone the lands from Commercial (C4) to a mixed use zone to permit multiple residential and commercial uses with the following site specific provisions being requested:
Site Plan
Development Rendering (with a perfectly accurate amount of trees along Hespeler Rd...)
Application is shown as under appeal on the city's dev apps page - assuming the whole 90-120 day period for a decision that the province implemented.
Feels a bit suburban for what will eventually become a very high density corridor. Oh well, decent overall. Would've liked to see some variation in tower heights too.
