Summary

This application seeks to amend the former Town of Leaside Zoning By-law No. 1916 to permit a retail commercial centre with a gross floor area of 15,669m². The proposal comprises a 7,308m² anchor store on the second level and series of smaller one and two-storey commercial buildings ranging in size from 468m² to 1,400m² and 487 parking spaces.

An application for Draft Plan of Subdivision has also been submitted to provide for the creation of development blocks and extending Parkhurst Boulevard and Vaughan Street to connect with Wicksteed Avenue.

The applicant’s proposal for a new large-format retail store on a portion of the property and plan of subdivision including provision of new public roads is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement and in conformity with the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe. The proposal also conforms to the general objectives of the Official Plan.

This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-law and advises that the Chief Planner may approve the Draft Plan of Subdivision.
