Municipal Information

Project Description:
The 37.16 hectare Bridgewater development lies to the north of Highway 26 West and to the south and west of Bartlett Boulevard and Princeton Shores Boulevard.  The development proposes a zoning by-law amendment and revisions to an existing draft approved plan of subdivision for a medium-density designated portion of the property.  Existing approvals for this portion of the site support a 320-dwelling unit development consisting primarily of 71 singles, 87 townhouses, and 162 apartments (in 3 buildings) with a number of blocks to protect and buffer adjacent Provincially Significant Wetlands.

The Zoning By-law Amendment application proposes to rezone the existing medium-density development block as a Residential Third Density Exception (R3-X) zone in order to support proposed revisions to the draft plan of subdivision for a maximum of 655 dwelling units.  The dwelling types proposed would include groups or clusters of single-detached, semi-detached, townhouses, and apartment dwellings.  Apartment dwellings would also be subject to specific zoning setbacks and height limitations. 

The proposed revision to the draft plan approval would alter the dwelling unit description in the conditions of draft plan approval, for the affected medium density block, from the currently approved 320 dwelling units to the maximum of 655 dwelling units requested with the zoning by-law amendment.  The unit breakdown proposed is 539 townhouses and 116 apartment-type dwelling units.  The boundaries, dimensions, and configuration of the development area, and the adjacent environmental protection, buffer, and roadblocks would remain unchanged.  The essence of the proposal is to change what can happen inside the medium-density development block.  Zoning outside this block would also remain unchanged.
