Notice of Statutory Public Meeting

This notice is to advise of the opportunity to review and comment on the proposed implementing by-laws for Official Plan Amendment Application OPA23-A2 and Zoning By-law Amendment Application Z2/23, prior to consideration of such by the Council of the Corporation of the Town of Ajax, at a Statutory Public Meeting to be held on Monday, November 27, 2023 at 7:00 p.m.

Official Plan Amendment Application OPA23-A2 and Zoning By-law Amendment Application Z2/23 seek to amend site-specific policies and zoning provisions which were established to regulate the proposed development of a 25-storey mixed use building on the subject lands.

The purpose of Official Plan Amendment Application OPA23-A2 and the proposed implementing by-law is to amend Area Specific Policy 6.34, which was established for the subject lands through Amendment No. 69 to the Official Plan (By-law No. 49-2022). Area Specific Policy 6.34 permits site-specific maximum tower floor plate sizes for the development of a 25-storey mixed use building, subject to the provision of public/social benefits. The proposed implementing by-law for the Official Plan Amendment would increase the maximum tower floor plate sizes and modify the details of the required public/social benefits (rental tenure; and a minimum percentage of barrier-free, family-sized, and affordable dwelling units).

The purpose of Zoning By-law Amendment Application Z2/23 and the proposed implementing by-law is to amend Zoning Exception 208, which was established for the subject lands through By-law No. 50-2022. Exception 208 permits site-specific development standards, including maximum tower floor plate sizes for the development of a 25-storey mixed use building, subject to the provision of public/social benefits. The proposed implementing by-law for the Zoning By-law Amendment would modify site-specific development standards, such as the maximum number of dwelling units and minimum parking spaces permitted, increase the maximum tower floor plate sizes, and modify the details of the required public/social benefits.

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 are available under the Documents section of this page.

The proposed implementing by-laws will also be available in the agenda for the meeting. The agenda will be posted by end of day Tuesday, November 21, 2023 at ajax.ca/meetings.
