Darren Vella of Innovative Planning Solutions explained that the purpose of this public meeting is to review an application to consider an Official Plan Amendment submitted by Innovative Planning Solutions, on behalf of Joe and Mary Santos, for lands located on the south side of Dock Road, west of the shoreline of Kempenfelt Bay with access from Plunkett Court. He noted that the property is known municipally as 200C Dock Road, has a total area of approximately .48 hectares and is contained within the Bayshore Secondary Plan. Mr. Vella described the surrounding land uses and provided the background history concerning a number of applications that have been submitted to the City concerning the property, including two matters before the Ontario Municipal Board. He explained that the lands are designated Residential within the City’s Official Plan and are zoned Residential Low Density (R1) in accordance with Zoning By-law 2009-141. Mr. Vella indicated where the property is located with the Bayshore Secondary Plan and that is identified as Low Density.
Mr. Vella explained that the existing Medium Density lands contained within the Secondary Plan are unable to be developed and that he believes the location for Medium Density residential lands should be changed to the subject property. He described the development proposal for a 24 unit three and a half storey rest home. Mr. Vella listed the studies that have been submitted to the City in support of the application and highlighted a number of features of the development proposal. He provided his planning rationale basis for relocating the Medium Density within the Bayshore Secondary Plan. He concluded by providing his professional opinion with respect to the planning rationale associated with the application.
