Linksview, 780 Tenth Line

The purpose and effect of the proposed Zoning By-law Amendment is to rezone the subject lands from Residential Third Density Exception Forty (R3-40) to Residential Third Density Exception (R3-XX) to permit a reduced minimum lot frontage for a street townhouse of 7.0 m, a reduced minimum lot area for a street townhouse of 215 m2, and a reduced minimum lot area for a single detached dwelling of 315 m2. The R3-40 zone currently permits a minimum lot frontage of 7.5 m and minimum lot area of 225 m2 for a street townhouse, and a minimum lot area of 325 m2 for a single detached dwelling.

The existing draft approved plan of subdivision permits a maximum of 824 residential units, including 39 single detached lots, 2 blocks comprised of 8 townhouse units, 37 blocks for a mix of single detached, semi-detached and townhouse lots totalling 400 units, 1 apartment block of 117-190 units, 1 school or apartment block of 117-190 units, 2 blocks for future residential lots, and 2 parkland blocks. The draft approved plan also includes 3 blocks for emergency/walkway access, 3 blocks for buffering of an adjacent golf course, 7 blocks for road reserves, 2 blocks for road widening, 5 walkway block, and lands for future public streets.

The purpose and effect of the proposed revisions to the draft approved plan of subdivision is to permit a maximum of 880 residential units, including 299 single detached lots, 10 future single detached lots, 38 blocks comprised of 187 townhouse units, 1 high density apartment block with a density of 55-90 units per hectare (118-192 units), 1 school or high density apartment block with a density of 55-90 units per hectare (118-192 units), and 3 parkland blocks. The proposed revised draft approved plan of subdivision also includes 3 blocks for buffering of an additional golf course, 3 emergency exit blocks, 8 walkway blocks, 7 road reserve blocks, 1 road widening block, and lands for future public streets. 

The effect of the proposed revisions is to add a third park block, additional walkways and an additional street, realign the road network, revise the access block around the stormwater management pond, and reduce the amount of irregularly shaped corner lots. The revisions also propose an increase in the overall low and medium density unit count, and additional diversification of residential unit types. The overall density for the high density apartment block(s) remains unchanged.
