He noted that the property is known municipally as 363 Duckworth Street and has a total area of approximately 4,923m2 (1.2 acres).
Mr. Froussios stated that the lands are designated Residential within the City’s Official Plan and are zoned Residential Multi Unit First Density RM1 in accordance with Zoning By-law 85-95 and Zoning By-law 2009-141.
Mr. Froussios explained that the proposed rezoning to Apartment Dwelling Second Density Special Provision RA2-(SP) could permit an apartment building/buildings of more than 12m in height at densities of more than 53 units per hectare provided it meets all other standards of the Zoning By-law.
