Proposed Residential Mixed-Use Development - 250 Rossland Road East

Official Plan Amendment Application OPA25-A4 and Zoning By-law Amendment Application Z8/25 seek to permit a residential mixed-use development on the lands municipally known as 250 Rossland Road East and the adjacent lands located at the southwest corner of Spitty Road and Penn-Gaskell Drive (the “subject lands”). The proposed development consists of seven 8-storey buildings, containing approximately 588 residential units and 1,773 m2 of commercial gross floor area.

The purpose of Official Plan Amendment Application OPA25-A4 and the proposed implementing by-law is to re-designate the subject lands from the Prestige Employment designation to the Mixed Commercial Corridor designation and to establish two Area Specific Policies (Area Specific Policy 6.49 and 6.50) for the subject lands to permit a new minimum and maximum building height and maximum density standard.

The purpose of Zoning By-law Amendment Application Z8/25 and the proposed implementing by-law is to rezone the subject lands from the Prestige Employment (PE) Zone to the Local Commercial (LC) Zone and to establish two site-specific Exceptions (Exception 234 and Exception 235) for the LC Zone to set development standards that would implement the proposed residential mixed-use development of the subject lands.

The proposed implementing by-laws are being brought forward under the authority of Section 284.11.1 of the Municipal Act and in accordance with Ontario Regulation 580/22, “Provincial Priorities”.

The proposed implementing by-laws, and further details on the development proposal in general, are available on this page or by contacting planningservices@ajax.ca.

The proposed implementing by-laws are also available in the agenda for the meeting. The agenda will be posted by end of day Tuesday, February 10, 2026, at ajax.ca/meetings. Alternative formats of documents and materials can be made available upon request in order to assist those who require accessibility accommodations.
