The purpose of the Public Meeting is to review an application submitted by Innovative Planning Solutions (IPS), on behalf of DBZ Yonge Ltd., for an Amendment to the Zoning By-law to permit a 6-storey, mixed-use development with 233 residential units and 6 commercial units on lands described as: Lots 32 to 37 on Registered Plan 885, and known municipally as: 461, 463, 465, 467, 471 and 473 Yonge Street, Barrie.
The site is approximately 0.67 hectares in size and located on the northeast corner of MacMillan Crescent and Yonge Street. The property has a frontage of approximately 110 metres on Yonge Street and flankage of 61 metres on MacMillan Crescent. The surrounding uses of the subject property include single detached residential dwellings to the north and east, a vacant lot on the south side of MacMillan Crescent, and a Church and Retirement apartment building on the west side of Yonge Street.
The Zoning By-law Amendment application proposes to rezone the subject lands from ‘Residential Single Detached Dwelling First Density (R1)’ to ‘Mixed Use Corridor with Special Provisions’ (MU2) (SP-XXX) in the City of Barrie Comprehensive Zoning By-law 2009-141. The proposed amendment seeks to define the required Front Lot Line, increase the required interior side yard setback, and reduce the required first storey GFA coverage for commercial uses, drive aisle width, and parking to permit the proposed development in accordance with the following provisions:
