The proposal also includes two parks (.41 ha / 1.01 acres), a stormwater management pond, several areas that would be protected as natural heritage spaces, one access off Ebycrest Road, three road stubs of which two could potentially be extended into future developments (one to the north, the other to the south), and the third road stub which could potentially extend to Ebycrest Road.

Official Plan (Application 1/2023) and Zoning (Application 12/2023)

The applicant proposes to amend the Official Plan with respect to population allocation (Sections 7.26.2.3 and 7.26.2.10) to introduce an alternative allocation arrangement.

The applicant is proposing to rezone the lands from Agricultural (A) to Residential – Multiple with Design Guidelines (R-7A) with Site Specific provisions.

The proposed zoning also includes a small area that would be subject to a Holding provision as these lands are identified as being required on a temporary basis for a temporary turning circle. The proposed zoning also includes Open Space (O-1) for environmental features and Open Space (O-2) for the proposed park.
