Proposed Applications
Official Plan Amendment

The applicant proposes to amend the Official Plan designation from “Suburban Residential” to “Stable Neighbourhoods”. The “Stable Neighbourhoods” designation requires all a new development to be compatible with the form and character of abutting residential development, however it does not prescribe a density requirement.
