2. BACKGROUND
2.1 The subject lands were rezoned in 2001 to permit an apartment building. In 2006 a site
plan application was filed to permit a 64-unit, three-storey apartment building, (approved
in April 2012). A site plan agreement was not executed for the development and the 64-
unit apartment building was not constructed.
REPORT NO.: PSD-040-14 PAGE 3
In December 2013, a site plan application (SPA 2013-0036) was received for a 78-unit,
four-storey apartment building in compliance with the R4-21 Zone regulations. The
application has been reviewed by all the relevant agencies and they are all satisfied with
the proposed development.
2.2 Site plan approval is nearing completion and construction is expected to commence as
early as this summer. Planning Staff will be in a position to sign off on a building permit
once all site plan matters are resolved, including the execution of the agreement and
collection of securities. All site plan issues are expected to be completed within the next
month, and the Applicant has suggested they will proceed to obtain a building permit
expeditiously.
3. STAFF COMMENTS
3.1 The (H) Holding 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 this plan.
3.2 In consideration of the supporting comments from the circulated agencies, and the
timing of summer recess relative to expected site plan approval, it is recommended that
the Holding (H) symbol be removed.
3.3 A Zoning By-law Amendment to remove the (H) Holding symbol cannot be appealed
and shall be deemed final and binding upon Council's approval.
4. CONCURRENCE - Not applicable
5. CONCLUSION
5.1 In consideration of the comments noted above, approval of the removal of the "Holding
(H)" symbol for proposed apartment building at 21 Brookhouse Drive in Newcastle, as
shown on the attached By-law and schedule (Attachment 1) is recommended.
