Statutory Public Meeting – Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendments

This notice is to advise of the opportunity to review and comment on the proposed implementing by-laws for Official Plan Amendment Application OPA24-A3 and Zoning By-law Amendment Application Z7/24, 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, September 16, 2024 at 1:00 p.m.

Official Plan Amendment Application OPA24-A3 and Zoning By-law Amendment Application Z7/24 seek to permit the proposed development of approximately 80 stacked townhouse dwellings on the lands located at the southeast corner of Rossland Road West and Harkins Drive (the “subject lands”).

The purpose of Official Plan Amendment Application OPA24-A3 and the proposed implementing by-law is to permit an increase in density to accommodate the proposed development of the subject lands. The purpose of Zoning By-law Amendment Application Z7/24 and the proposed implementing by-law is to:

  • rezone a portion of the subject lands from the Neighbourhood Centre (NC) Zone to the Residential Multiple Six (RM6) Zone to establish a consistent zone category (RM6 Zone) for the subject lands; and
  • amend Exception 193, which was established for the subject lands through a previous Zoning By-law Amendment for a different development proposal, to permit the proposed stacked townhouse dwellings and set site-specific development standards that would implement the proposed residential 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.

The proposed implementing by-laws are also available in the agenda for the meeting. The agenda will be posted by end of day Tuesday, September 10, 2024 at ajax.ca/meetings.
