Explanatory Note

Explanation of the Purpose & Effect of By-law Number 72-2025 

The purpose of By-law 72-2025 (File: Z-2022-04) is to change the zoning for the lands located at 737, 741 and 745 Taunton Road East from R2/R4-A/R6-A “h-22” to R2/R4‑A(29)/R6-A “h-106”.

The effect of By-law 72-2025 is to permit the development of 56 block townhouse dwelling units subject to special zoning regulations related to reduced yard depths, landscaped open space, and length of front lot line and increased lot coverage.

The effect of the “h-106” holding symbol is to ensure that appropriate arrangements are made for the provision of adequate sanitary, water, storm, and transportation services to serve this development and included in a subdivision agreement which is executed and registered, that site plan approval is obtained from the City to address such matters as parking, waste storage and collection, landscaping, lighting, fencing, outdoor amenity area design, cross access to the lands to the east and west and snow storage, and noise mitigation is implemented to the satisfaction of the City.  While the “h-106” holding symbol is in place only existing uses, model homes and a temporary sales or leasing office are permitted. 

All written and oral submissions received by the City of Oshawa were considered in the making of this decision.

The key map shows the location of the lands to which By-law 72-2025 applies.
