1015 Cumberland Street - Official Plan Amendment (D09-2024-006), Zoning By-law Amendment (D14-2023-006) and Draft Plan of Subdivision (D12-2005-007)

Applications for Official Plan Amendment (D09-2024-006), Zoning By-law Amendment (D14-2023-006) and Draft Plan of Subdivision (D12-2005-007) have been received to facilitate a residential subdivision consisting of 16 single detached dwelling lots, reduced from 23 lots since the Public Meeting held on January 22, 2025, and a flood storage and restoration block. The lots are proposed to be serviced by municipal sanitary sewer and private individual wells and will be accessed by private individual driveways from Emily Street which is an existing municipal road.  

The Official Plan Amendment proposes to re-designate the subject lands to a site-specific Residential Low Density 1 designation to permit the lots to be created on partial municipal servicing and to remove the Hazard Land Overlay on the subject lands.

The Zoning By-law Amendment proposes to re-zone the subject lands from the Future Development (FD) Zone to a site-specific Residential 1 Exception Hold (R1-55(H)) Zone and the Environmental Protection (EP) Zone to facilitate the proposed development. The Zoning By-law Amendment proposes to permit a site-specific increased height of 12.6m and lot coverage of 42% for the single detached dwellings.
