PURPOSE AND EFFECT OF OFFICIAL PLAN AMENDMENT 948
AND ZONING BY-LAW 1059-2026
 

The purpose and effect of Official Plan Amendment 948 and Zoning By-law 1059-2026 is to permit the development of the lands at 20 Brentcliffe Road and 100 Vanderhoof Avenue with a 32-storey mixed use building.   The development would consist of 383 residential dwelling units, of which, six (6) units would be provided as affordable rental housing, 1,815 square metres of non-residential space at grade, and 2 levels of underground parking. A parkland dedication of 469 square metres at the northeast corner of the site is provided as part of the proposal.

Official Plan Amendment 948 (OPA 948) (By-law 1058-2026) modifies Site and Area Specific Policy (SASP) 568 to revise Maps 1-3, add a new Map 5 and a new site-specific policy that will have the effect of removing a midblock connection and establishing a new 32 story height permission. A site-specific policy establishes a minimum non-residential gross floor area and establishes other built from requirements involving podium heights and floorplate. SASP 827 is also modified by OPA 948 which establishes new non-residential gross floor area requirements, and affordable housing requirements.

Zoning By-law Amendment 1059-2026 brings the lands at 20 Brentcliffe Road and 100 Vanderhoof Avenue into Zoning Bylaw 569-2013 and creates site specific standards to permit the residential use, building height, density, and other built form standards proposed by the application.
