EXPLANATION OF THE PURPOSE AND EFFECT OF
ZONING BY-LAW AMENDMENT (BY-LAW NO. 86 (2024))

ZONING BY-LAW AMENDMENT - BY-LAW 86-2024 is a By-law to amend Zoning By-law 4481(2022), as amended, to allow a block townhouse development as shown on the submitted site plan. The zoning change will change the rear portion of 717 Quaker Road from Residential One (R1) to a site-specific Residential Multiple 1 (RM1-133(H)) zone to allow block townhouse dwellings with site specific regulations. The remainder of the land (701 Quaker Road) will retain the RM1-133(H) zoning with revised regulations. The Holding symbol (H) will apply to all lands subject to the zoning by-law amendment and require a site plan agreement to be entered into with the Town to address servicing and drainage prior to lifting and obtaining building permits.
