Ms. Trudy Paterson, Senior Planner, Skelton Brumwell & Associates explained that the purpose of the public meeting is to review an application for an Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment submitted by Skelton Brumwell & Associates Inc. on behalf of EMEN Investments Ltd., for lands located at the south-west corner of Bayfield Street and Grove Street West. The property is legally described as Part of Lot 23, Registered Plan 135, and is located within the Queen's Park Planning Area. She noted that the property is known municipally as 218, 222, 224 Bayfield Street and 7 Grove Street West and has a total area of approximately 0.15 ha.
T. Paterson noted that the subject lands are designated Residential Area within the City's current Official Plan and were re-designated to City Centre by Official Plan Amendment 100 which is currently under appeal for an unrelated matter. She advised that the applicant is requesting that the City Centre designation referred to in Official Plan Amendment 100 for the subject lands, be brought forward through a separate amendment as part of the subject application. T. Paterson noted that the owner has also applied to amend the current zoning of the property from Multiple Family Dwelling Second Density RM2 (SP-375) to Transition Centre Commercial C2 to permit the future development of the property for a single storey professional office.
Ms. Paterson concluded by commenting she believes that the proposed development would be an asset to the downtown core and is compatible with the mixed use properties currently established on Bayfield Street.
