PURPOSE AND EFFECT OF ZONING BY-LAW 355-2026

The purpose and effect of Zoning By-law 355-2026 is to implement a series of technical amendments to site-specific zoning by-law 642-2025 concerning the lands known as 60 Newcastle Street, 21, 23, 25 and 31 Windsor Street, 18 Buckingham Street and 95 Portland Street. By-law 642-2025 permits the redevelopment of the lands with a mixed use development incorporating residential and retail uses, as well as a public park and POPS. A number of errors have since been identified in this by-law, including reference to an incorrect Exception Number, application of erroneous or non-existent provisions in the parent by-law or Zoning By-law 642-2025 itself, and an ambiguously worded provision related to parking. The purpose of the by-law is to enact technical amendments to correct these errors, as well as replacing Diagram 2 as a result of the change in Exception Number.
