Proposed Commercial Conversion – 22 Church Street North
The Town of Ajax is in receipt of a Zoning By-law Amendment Application (Z10/24), submitted by The Biglieri Group Ltd., on behalf of Creative Benefits and Compensation Ltd., to permit and facilitate the conversion of the existing residential dwelling located at 22 Church Street North (the “subject lands”) to an office.
The purpose of this Zoning By-law Amendment Application is to rezone the subject lands from Residential One – ‘B’ (R1-B) Zone to Village Core Mixed Use One (VC1) Zone and establish a site-specific zoning Exception (Exception 222), to:
- permit an office use within the existing preserved dwelling on the subject lands;
- implement site-specific development standards to accommodate the proposed office use; and
- include a detached dwelling and home based business as additional permitted uses in the VC1 Zone to maintain the low density residential permissions on the subject lands.
The submitted materials are available in the documents tab.
A future Site Plan Amendment Application will be required to be submitted to accommodate the proposed conversion, as parking lot and landscaping modifications are proposed.
