The Town of Ajax is in receipt of Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment Applications, submitted by Your Home Developments (Lake Driveway) Inc., proposing the development of an 8-storey apartment dwelling and a 3-storey stacked townhouse dwelling block for a total of 181 dwelling units. One level of underground parking and a partial level of structured parking is proposed to accommodate the development. The lands affected by the proposed development are 253 and 255 Lake Driveway West.

The purpose of the Official Plan Amendment Application (OPA20-A3) is to re-designate the lands to a site-specific Neighbourhood Centre designation to permit additional uses and increase the maximum permitted building height. The purpose of the Zoning By-law Amendment Application (Z4/20) is to rezone the lands to a site-specific Local Commercial (LC) Zone to permit additional uses and set site-specific development standards to facilitate the proposed development.

A Site Plan Application (SP6/21) has also been submitted to facilitate the proposed development. The purpose of the Site Plan Application is to review and examine the design and technical aspects of the proposed development. The future submission of a Draft Plan of Condominium Application may also be required to establish the residential tenure of the proposed development.
