Purpose, Effect & Location of Zoning By-law Amendment File No. Z2024-10

The purpose of this amendment is to rezone the subject lands to recognize a draft approved plan of subdivision known as County of Renfrew Subdivision File No. 47T-23007 Riverview Pointe Subdivision (previously referred to as TMM).  Lands being rezoned include the proposed Phase 1 of the subdivision with approximately 156 mixed types of residential dwelling units, parkland blocks, connecting pathways, internal roads, and stormwater management blocks, as well as, future development lands.

The effect of the amendment is to establish a new Residential Three-Exception Seven (R3-E7) zone to facilitate the construction of detached and semi-detached

dwellings on minimum 11.6 and 7.6 metre-wide lots, respectively; a Residential Three-Exception Eight (R3-E8) zone to facilitate the construction of townhouses with

minimum 6.1 metre-wide lot frontages; a Residential Three-Exception Nine (R3-E9) to facilitate the construction of townhouses that will be accessed from a private driveway or condominium road; a Residential Three-Exception Ten (R3-E10) zone to facilitate the construction of townhouses or apartments, while recognizing the fact that the

draft approved subdivision plan included this block as a “future development” block; and a Residential Three-Exception Eleven (R3-E11) zone to facilitate the construction of townhouses or an apartment building, on a parcel with a minimum frontage of 15 metres. The amendment will also amend Schedule A-3 to identify the draft approved subdivision on a new Schedule A-24 and then to rezone the lands as indicated on the approved draft plan from Urban Reserve-Exception Two-holding (UR-E2-h) as follows:  Lots 1 to 69 to Residential Three-Exception Seven-holding (R3-E7-h); Blocks 70 to 73 and Block 75 to Residential Three-Exception Eight-holding (R3-E8-h); Block 74 to Residential Three-Exception Nine-holding (R3-E9-h); Block 77 to Residential Three-Exception Ten-holding (R3-E10); Blocks 79 and 80 to Residential-Exception Eleven-holding (R3-E11-h) and Blocks 81 and 82 to Open Space-holding (OS-h).

The rezoning will establish the principle of development and a holding zone will remain in place with revised conditions for removal of the holding zone that will include the entering into of the subdivision agreement to be registered on title, that certain other matters as set out in the conditions of draft plan approval have been addressed, and any other matters to be set out by resolution of Council prior to passing the Amendment.
