This notice is to advise of the opportunity to review and comment on Official Plan Amendment Application OPA24-A16 and Zoning By-law Amendment Application Z20/24 prior to the consideration of such by the Town of Ajax Community Affairs and Planning Committee, at a Statutory Public Meeting to be held on Monday, November 3, 2025, at 1:00 p.m.

The Town is in receipt of Official Plan Amendment Application OPA24-A16 and Zoning By-law Amendment Application Z20/24, submitted by First Capital REIT, on behalf of First Capital (Ajax) Corporation. These amendments seek to permit a residential mixed-use development on a vacant parcel of land, municipally known as 33 Hunt Street. The proposed development consists of 856 residential units and 863m2 of retail within three mixed-use buildings which are 16, 23 and 30 storeys in height.

The purpose of Official Plan Amendment Application OPA24-A16 is to establish a new Area Specific Policy, under the Commercial Mixed Use I designation, for the subject lands to permit an increase in height from 25-storeys to 30-storeys.

The purpose of Zoning By-law Amendment Application Z20/24 is to establish a new Zoning Exception, under the Downtown Central Area – Mixed Use (DCA/MU) Zone, for the subject lands to permit site-specific development standards that would facilitate the proposed development.

The proposed Official Plan Amendment, Zoning By-law Amendment, and further details on the development proposal in general are available on the Town of Ajax website at imo.ajax.ca/33huntst or by contacting planningservices@ajax.ca.

A copy of the staff report with recommendations to the Committee on these development applications will be available by end of day Tuesday, October 28, 2025, in the agenda for the meeting, available 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.
