3. Staff Comments
The Holding (H) symbol is a provision enabled by the Official Plan to ensure that certain
obligations have been considered prior to development and redevelopment of the lands.
This includes servicing, access, protection of natural areas, measures to mitigate the
impact of development, submission of required studies, execution of agreements and
any other requirements as may be deemed necessary by Council including the
implementation of the policies of the Official Plan.
The applicant applied for site plan approval for a four storey apartment building at 50
Shipway Avenue. The Acting Director of Planning Services and the Acting Director of
Engineering Services issued Site Plan Approval on January 16, 2020. The applicant
has yet to return the executed Site Plan Agreement and submit the required securities,
however both are expected to be delivered to the municipality in the next three weeks,
well into the summer recess. The building permit is being review by the Building
Division. The next meeting in which this application can be heard by the Joint
Committee meeting on September 14th, 2020 which impact the construction schedule.
Staff recommend that Council authorize the Mayor and the Municipal Clerk to enact the
by-law upon receipt of the executed agreement and securities.
