LOCATION:
BASIS:
The purpose of this amendment is to:
· redesignate the south-east corner of Whites Road and
Sheppard Avenue from Mixed Use Areas - Mixed Corridors
to Urban Residential Area - Medium Density;,
· redesignate the properties along the south side of
Sheppard Avenue, east of the Amberlea Creek tributary,
from Urban Residential Area - Low Density Residential to
Urban Residential Area - Medium Density Residential;
· redesignate the 'old' Dunbarton School property from Other
Designations- Urban Study Areas to Mixed Use Areas -
Mixed Corridors;
· redesignate the properties lying east of the 'old'
Dunbarton School property, south of Sheppard Avenue
and west of the main Ambedea Creek tributary, from
Urban Residential Area - Medium Density to Mixed Use
Areas - Mixed Corridors;
· redesignate the interior lands located north of Kingston
Road and east of Whites Road from Urban ResidentialArea
- Medium Density to Mixed Use Areas- Mixed Corridors; and
· delete policy 3.16 - Urban Study Areas: Old Dunabarton School
polices; and
· revise policy 11.8 - Woodlands Neighbourhood Policies
with new polices addressing land use, transportation and
environmental and stormwater management matters;
The subject lands are approximately 12.9 hectares in size, and
are generally bounded by Kingston Road, Whites Road, and
Sheppard Avenue, Part of Lots 27 and 28, Range 3, B.F.C.
The Northeast Quadrant Review has resulted in a renewed
vision for the further growth and evolution of the Northeast
Quadrant.
The proposed Woodlands Neighbourhood Polices and
revised Northeast Quadrant Guidelines establish a
comprehensive framework for guiding private development
and investment within the quadrant, while ensuring a
sensitive 'fit' to the existing neighbourhood context. As well,
the framework provides direction and guidance for the
reorganization of the built and natural environments that
promotes the transformation of this section of Kingston Road
into a more vibrant 'mainstreet'.
