Planning Applications

Applications for Official Plan Amendment (D09-2026-001) and Zoning By-law Amendment (D14-2026-001) have been received proposing to redevelop the current racetrack use into a self-storage facility with parking. The proposed development includes a total of 1,243 self-storage units in 18 buildings, across a land area of 10 hectares. Additionally, an 8,309 square metre outdoor storage area is proposed towards the southwest corner of the facility. Vehicular access to the site would be achieved through a single two-way driveway from Yonge Street with one-way stop control. Two 5,824 square metre and 3,008 square metre future development blocks are also included for future complementary commercial uses. In order to facilitate the proposed development, the Official Plan Amendment (OPA) proposes to redesignate all developable lands outside of the woodlot and woodlot buffer from “Agricultural Area’ to a site-specific ‘Rural Commercial’ designation. While the woodlot on the western portion of the Subject Lands is intended to be preserved, the Official Plan Amendment also seeks to refine the limits of the ‘Key Natural Heritage Features and Key Hydrologic Features’ (KNHF & KHF) designation consistent with the findings of fieldwork and the submitted Natural Heritage Evaluation. The Zoning By-law Amendment (ZBA) proposes to rezone the developable portions of the Subject Lands outside of the woodlot and associated buffer from the current ‘Open Space Exception 4’ (OS-4) and ‘Agricultural General’ (AG) Zones to a site-specific ‘Commercial Business Park’ (CBP-X) Zone. The ZBA also proposes to rezone the entirety of the woodlot and its associated 30 metre buffer from ‘Agricultural General’ (AG) to the ‘Environmental Protection’ (EP) Zone.

A Public Meeting has been scheduled for Wednesday April 15, 2026 to be held in the Council Chambers at 6:30pm. Please see the below links to the Notice of Complete Application and Public Meeting and supporting materials for more information.

Application for Zoning By-law Amendment (D14-2022-017) has been received proposing to recognize and permit the existing aggregates and landscape supply yard business occupying the front portion of the lands and a recreational vehicle storage area occupying the rear portion of the property. The aggregate and landscape supply yard will occupy approximately 2,851.2 square metres of the subject property; including several storage areas for materials such as mulch, topsoil, stone and landscape supplies. The landscape supply yard is supported by retail space, administration office and a garage, private services and parking. 

The outdoor storage of recreational vehicles is proposed to be accommodated in a parking area measuring approximately 3,057 square metres and is to be used for the parking of recreational vehicles such as boats, recreational vehicles, and trailers. The subject lands are accessed by a private driveway onto 20th Sideroad.  

The Zoning By-law Amendment (ZBA) proposes to establish site-specific zone provisions to address existing use and site and building design. The proposed ZBA would establish site-specific use for the exiting aggregates and landscape supply yard business.

Applications for Official Plan Amendment (File No. D09-2023-002) and Zoning By-law Amendment (File: D14-2021-014) have been received to facilitate a proposed development consisting of 45 three storey residential townhouse units at 1065 7th Line, to be accessed by a private condominium road. Since the Public Meeting held on May 15, 2024, the Town's CPPS By-law 058-25 was passed which replaces Zoning By-law 080-13 in Alcona therefore the Zoning By-law Amendment application is now required to proceed as a CPPS By-law Amendment application. 

The subject lands are proposed to be re-designated from the 'Residential Low Density 1' designation to the 'Residential Medium Density' designation and re-zoned from the 'Residential Low Density 1 (RL1)' Precinct to two site-specific Residential Medium Density Hold (RM-22(H) and RM-23(H)) Precincts to permit the proposed townhouse units.

Applications for Official Plan Amendment (D09-2025-002), CPPS By-law Amendment (SL-2025-026) and Redline Revision to a Draft Plan of Subdivision (D12-2000-003) have been received to revise Phase 3 of the SanDiego 2 Draft Plan of Subdivision to include 153 residential lots (30 single detached dwellings, 123 townhouse units) and a 3 storey mixed-use building with main floor commercial and 30 apartment units on upper floors within the south portion of the subject lands. Approximately 85 single detached dwellings are currently draft approved in this area. A future development block is proposed on the north portion of the subject lands and an open space block along the length of the Metrolinx rail corridor to the west. The current draft approval permits 466 residential units on the entirety of the subject lands (37 townhouses, 215 units in a mixed use block and 214 single detached dwellings). To facilitate the proposed revisions, the Official Plan Amendment application proposes to re-designate a portion of the subject lands from 'Residential Low Density 1' and 'Residential Low Density 2' to 'Residential Medium Density', 'Neighbourhood Commercial Area' and 'Parks and Open Space'. The CPPS By-law Amendment proposes to re-zone the lands to the Residential Low Density 2 Exception (RL2-XX), Residential Medium Density Exception (RM-XX), Neighbourhood Commercial Exception (NC-XX) and Open Space (OS) Precincts to permit the proposed single detached dwellings, townhouse dwellings and mixed-use building on the south portion of the lands. Any future development of the north portion of the property will require future planning applications. 

A Public Meeting has been scheduled for Wednesday November 19, 2025 to be held in the Council Chambers at 6:30pm. Please see the below links to the Notice of Complete Application and Public Meeting and supporting materials for more information.
