The purpose of Regional Official Plan Amendment Application ROPA25-AJAX1 and the proposed implementing by-law is to re-designate the subject lands from the Employment Areas designation to the Community Areas designation.

The purpose of Zoning By-law Amendment Application Z3/25 and the proposed implementing by-law is to rezone the subject lands from the Prestige Employment (PE) Zone/Automobile Commercial (AC) Zone, with Exception 196, to the Local Commercial (LC) Zone and establish a new site-specific Exception (Exception 230) to set development standards that would implement the proposed mixed use development of the subject lands.
