Explanatory Note

Explanation of the Purpose & Effect of By-law Number 33-2026

The purpose of By-law 33-2026 (File: Z-2024-06) is to change the zoning for the lands located at 827 Gordon Street from R1-C/CIN (Residential/Community Institutional) to R1‑C/CIN(9) (Residential/Community Institutional) in part and R5-A(4)/CIN(9) “h‑110”(Residential/Community Institutional) in part, subject to a site specific condition.

The effect of By-law 33-2026 is to permit the development of four (4) block townhouses and 63 stacked townhouses with site specific regulations related to permitting block townhouses, reduced front, exterior and interior side yard depth, reduced landscaped open space, increased maximum lot coverage, and reduced length of private driveways leading to private garages. Further, the effect is to permit limited commercial uses within the existing heritage building and site specific regulations such as a maximum gross floor area for a medical office, reduced parking and loading space requirements, and reduced rear and interior side yard depths. The additional permitted uses in the existing building consist of the following:

(a)  Art Gallery

(b)  Business Office

(c)  Commercial School

(d)  Museum

(e)  Music Club

(f)   Personal Service Establishment

(g)  Professional Office, excluding Clinic

(h)  Studio

The effect of the “h-110” holding symbol is to ensure that site plan approval is obtained from the City, that noise and air quality mitigation measures are implemented, and that appropriate arrangements are made for the provision of adequate water, sanitary, storm, foundation drainage and transportation services to the development. While the “h-110” holding symbol is in place only uses permitted in the CIN(9) Zone, and model homes and a temporary sales office in accordance with the provisions of Subsection 4.13 of Zoning By-law 60-94 are permitted.

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