A Plan of Subdivision, Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment application were submitted in 2018 by Teromi Inc. and Alyange Holdings Inc. on lands legally described as Part of Lot 26, Concession 11 and known municipally as 3275 25 Sideroad.  A 231 unit residential subdivision consisting of 79 single-detached dwellings, 18 semi-detached dwellings, 13 townhouses and 121 apartments, a commercial block, public park and stormwater management pond is proposed.  A Public Meeting was held September 19, 2018.  See Staff Report DSR-139-18 for more details.  

Subsequent to the comments heard at the Public Meeting, the applicant proposed a land exchange with the Town of Innisfil intended to preserve a large swath of lands in the southernmost portion of the proposed development  in exchange for development rights on undeveloped Town-owned lands zoned as open space.  Staff Report DSR-144-19 has more details.  This Staff Report was considered by Council September 25, 2019 and was deferred to a future date as more information from the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority (LSRCA) was requested about both parcels of the land exchange.

The applicant is working to respond to LSRCA comments and requirements at this time, including confirming any natural heritage features and functions on the lands to inform the details of a potential land exchange.  Once the LSRCA and Town Staff are satisfied with submitted responses by the applicant, Staff will prepare a Staff Report to Council with further recommendations on proposed directions for development, including any proposed land exchange and a future Public Meeting will be conducted. Notification of any future Public Meeting will be provided to all who wrote/spoke or signed the guestbook at the previous Public Meeting, or otherwise requested notification, as well as those who reach out through the Town’s getinvolvedinnisfil.ca website.
