Major Revision to Draft Plan of Subdivision, Deeming an Approval not to have Lapsed, Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment Applications - 41T-2012-02, L-2024-014 and Z-2024-077 (Westlinks)
The applicant proposed to amend Phase 3 of an existing Draft Approved Plan of Subdivision referred to as the Westlinks development. The proposed changes will be implemented through various Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendments. If approved, the applications will facilitate a mixed-use development consisting of 420 residential units with a commercial component. The applicant had also submitted a request to deem the approval of the Draft Plan of Subdivision not to have lapsed. The draft approval lapsed in early 2025. The purpose of the public meeting was to present the proposal to Council and to obtain feedback from Council and the community. At a later date, staff will present a recommendation report which will also address comments arising from this meeting.
This was received for information.
Zoning By-law Amendment - Z-2025-036 (Barry's)
The purpose of the application was to amend the Residential Fourth Density with special provisions (R4-23) zone to permit joint driveways wider than the permitted maximum for end-unit townhouses. The 10m maximum joint driveway width regulation would not apply; however, the driveway widths would be regulated by the requirements in section 3.24.7 (c) (7.5m or no more than 50% of the frontage). The proposed amendment would apply to eight end-unit townhouses along Rosner Drive in Port Elgin which share driveways with an adjacent unit.
