SW CORNER OF CONSERVATION DRIVE & BEAVER CREEK ROAD, NORTHWEST WARD 2 TAKE NOTICE that the Council of The Corporation of the City of Waterloo will hold an electronic Formal Public Meeting on Monday, May 30, 2022, during the electronic Council Meeting, to consider the above noted application to amend the Official Plan pursuant to Section 22 of the Planning Act. This Official Plan Amendment applies to the following blocks of land within Draft Plan of Subdivision 30T-17401, being an application involving a parcel of land located at the southwest corner of Conservation Drive and Beaver Creek Road: • Stage 1, Blocks 9 & 10 • Stage 2, Block 2 (partial) • Stage 3, Blocks 20 & 21 These blocks of land are proposed to be rezoned through Zone Change Application Z-17-14 to permit a range of mid-rise residential buildings, including terrace dwellings (eg. stacked townhouse buildings). The Beaver Creek Meadows District Plan, a land use document guiding development in this part of Waterloo, allows terrace dwellings to be built up to 4 storeys in height. However, within Low Density Residential areas such as this, the City's Official Plan only allows terrace dwellings to be built up to 10 metres in height. As the construction of a 4 storey building typically requires a minimum height of 12 metres, the Applicant is requesting to increase the maximum permitted height for terrace dwellings from 10 metres to 12 metres, to align the policies of the Official Plan with those of the District Plan. Please be advised, Draft Plan of Subdivision 30T-17401 and Zone change Application Z-17-14 have been appealed to the Ontario Land Tribunal. Information on these application can be found via the link below: https://www.waterloo.ca/en/government/zone-changes.aspx#beavercreek This meeting shall constitute the formal public meeting required under Sections 22 and 34 of The Planning Act, R.S.O., 1990, as amended.
