About the Planning Application:

Name: Block Plan Area 9 (Stage 3A) - Lockbridge Development Inc.; Judy Hendler; and TEK Corporation

Files: 4000-001-24 (Block Plan); 1601-008-24 (Zoning By-law Amendment); 2000-93-24 (Draft Plan of Subdivision)

Applications for Block Plan, Zoning By-law Amendment and Draft Plan of Subdivision have been submitted by Arcadis (Consultant-Agent) on behalf of Lockbridge Development Inc.; Judy Hendler; and TEK Corporation (Owners) for an assembly of multiple parcels of land within the new urban expansion lands of the Municipal Community Plan (MCP) and associated Official Plan Amendment (OPA) 62 and 63. The subject lands are referred as Block Plan Area 9 – Stage 3A consisting of approximately 12.5 hectares of land.

The applications consider a proposal for 154 single detached lots, 12 semi-detached lots, 30 townhouse dwelling units, with blocks dedicated for stormwater management ponds, new public road network, block dedicated for open space and trail, and block dedicated for the existing Westover Oil easement that runs west-east through the subject lands.

The Block Plan application represents the high level conceptual land use plan that details the private and public design elements including residential, employment and commercial areas, neighbourhood parks and open spaces including trails, natural heritage and protection areas, restoration areas, road network, and general locations of the stormwater management and sanitary servicing (e.g., pumping station) infrastructure.

The Zoning By-law Amendment and Draft Plan of Subdivision applications are intended to implement the approved Block Plan and MCP. Through the completion of numerous technical studies, the assessment and justification of the preferred layout of the development is being represented in the applications with the intent of the MCP and policies of OPA 63 including the associated master plans. These applications are being processed simultaneously.
