Proposed Development
The Township is in receipt of application resubmissions for a Draft Plan of Subdivision and associated Zoning Bylaw
Amendment for lands north of Michael Myers Road and Kropf Drive in Baden. The lands are designated Urban
Residential in the Township Official Plan and are presently zoned Zone 1 (Agricultural) within the Township Zoning
By-law 83-38, as amended.
Draft plan of subdivision application 30T-22602, is comprised of approximately 25.49ha and includes between
302-431 dwelling units in the form of single detached and townhouse/other multiple dwellings. The plan includes a
storm water management area, open space lands (woodlot and wetland) and an integrated trail network that will be
interconnected with existing and future sidewalks, trails and walkways. A copy of the draft plan is attached to this
notice.
Zone change application 11/22 proposes amendments to the zoning by-law to implement the draft plan of
subdivision. Development blocks neighbouring existing residential properties on the south side of the subject
property are proposed to be zoned Zone 2b (Residential), which would permit single detached dwellings and
accessory uses as currently permitted within that zone. The residential blocks in the centre of the development are
proposed to be zoned to permit both single detached and townhome dwellings and accessory uses. The remaining
residential blocks on the border of the development are proposed to be zoned Zone 4 (Residential), which would
permit multi-residential in the form apartments or townhomes. The stormwater management block, open space
lands, and trail network would be zoned Zone 11 (Open Space).
Revisions
Since the July 2023 Public Meeting, the plan has seen minor revisions including boundary modifications to reflect
the current Urban Boundary limits on the east side of the development as well as the inclusion of a 7.4ha woodland
and wetland area to be conveyed to the Township. Additional work has been undertaken to evaluate traffic calming
measures to be introduced along Isaac Shantz Drive and Jacob Cressman Drive to address traffic volume and
speed concerns raised through public consultation to date.
