View the site in Google Maps
The applicant originally applied to develop a five (5) storey mixed use building with ground floor commercial and containing 52 residential units. The major aspects of the original proposal were:
- Five stories or 54 feet in height;
- Approximately 5200 square feet commercial space on the ground floor;
- 52 residential units; and
- 44 underground parking spaces.
The revised proposal will occupy the same subject lands and site access as the original at the intersection of Bruce Street and Woodlawn Road. The change in the application is the proposed development of a 7 storey building with 78 residential units and 8290 square feet commercial space on the ground floor level and 40 parking spaces. The revised proposal also differs from the original in that at the first floor level the commercial space protrudes from the building to cover most of the roof of the below grade parking. This creates a stepback at the second level extending to the building wall and is intended to create a transition to the surrounding low rise development.
The original and revised Development Plans (provided below) outline the development proposal in detail, and include information related to proposed buildings, parking locations, driveway access, and landscaping.
Process
The application will be considered under the Development Agreement and the Discharging Development Agreement processes
