RBA Planning Consultants Ltd. on behalf of Floradale Parkview Non-Profit Manors Inc. has submitted a Zoning By-law Application for the property at 30 Florapine Road, Floradale. The 6.73 hectare (16.63 acre) property is irregularly shaped and currently contains a retirement residence with 41 units and 2 detached parking garages for 8 and 6 parking spaces, multiple sheds, a play structure and gardening opportunities. The property includes 2 dry stormwater management facilities, multiple parking areas, a large open area at the front of the property and a large open area at the rear of the property, where a portion is regulated by the Grand River Conservation Authority.

The property is designated within the Township Official Plan as Urban within the Settlement Area Boundary of Floradale and is zoned Residential R-1 with site-specific regulations in Section 16.145.

The applicant is proposing an additional 20 residential units in the form of 10 semi-detached dwellings. The dwellings would be primarily located between the exiting retirement residents and Florapine Road along lanes to access the dwellings. It is proposed that the existing and proposed units will be serviced with a communal water and sanitary treatment system that would expand upon the existing system.

To facilitate the additional 20 units, the applicant is proposing to amend the site specific regulations to include the provision of the additional dwellings. At this time, no requests are being made to modify the setback, parking or other zoning provisions.

A public meeting to discuss this Zone Change application will be held on Tuesday, April 1st at 7 pm in the Council Chambers, Township Administration building. You can view the Public Meeting notice and additional application material in the Documents folder below.
