The purpose of By-law 18-2026 (File: Z-2020-05) is to change the zoning for the lands located at 671, 685, 699, 709 and 723 Conlin Road East as follows:

(a)  From R3-A/R4-A/R6-B(4) “h-31” to R2(17)/R3-A(26)/R4-A/R6-B(4) “h-31”;

(b)  From R1-E/R3-A “h-31” to R1-E/R3-A(26) “h-31” in part; and,

(c)  From R1-E/R3-A “h-31” to OSH in part.

The effect of By-law 18-2026 is to facilitate the development of a draft plan of subdivision (File S-O-2020-01) to permit two (2) blocks for four (4) semi-detached dwellings, fourteen (14) development blocks for seventy-four (74) street townhouse dwellings, a stormwater management pond block, an open space block, a road widening block and new local roads, subject to special zoning regulations to include a site specific R2(17) Zone to allow semi-detached dwellings with site specific zoning regulations relating to reduced front and rear yard depths, minimum landscaped open space and to consider Conlin Road East as the front lot line for lots fronting Conlin Road East, and implement a site specific R3-A(26) Zone with specific zoning regulations for street townhouses relating to reduced front yard and rear yard depths and lot area, increased lot coverage, minimum landscaped open space and to consider Conlin Road East as the front lot line for lots fronting Conlin Road East.
