Summary

This application proposes to construct a 2-storey (10.92 metres including mechanical parapet) institutional building containing a post-secondary institution and place of worship at 515, 519 and 521 Coldstream Avenue. The building proposes 1547.83 square metres of total gross floor area, resulting in a density of 0.68 times the area of the site. Vehicular access to the site would be provided by a driveway via Coldstream Avenue and parking is proposed at grade with 33 vehicular parking spaces and 8 short term bicycle parking spaces.

 

The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2020) and conforms with A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2020). The proposed development also conforms to the City's Official Plan.

 

This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-law; the application proposes a redevelopment of the site to provide an institutional development that utilizes existing infrastructure.
