BURLINGTON, ON

 

A pre-application community meeting for 1376-1382 Plains Rd E. will be held Wednesday, Jan. 14, 6:30-8 p.m.

Development would replace a number of used car dealerships along Plains Road W.

PRE-APPLICATION CONSULTATION MEETING
2731115 Ontario Inc., F. K Deals on Wheels Inc., 2731119 Ontario Inc., and Manor Care Homes Inc. (collectively, the “owner”) is considering the redevelopment of 1376-1382 Plains Road East.

This proposed development would consist of a 25-storey mixed use building with approximately 284 residential units, including a mix of 1, 2 and 3 bedroom units.

The current Official Plan designation of the site is Mixed Use Corridor – Commercial Corridor, and the current zoning is Mixed Use Corridor Commercial Corridor Zone “MXC”. The site also falls within the City’s Burlington GO Major Transit Station Area, an area where the Official Plan directs the greatest heights and densities in the city.

If the owner chooses to pursue this redevelopment, it will require an amendment to the City of Burlington Official Plan and Zoning By-law.

No development applications have been submitted to the City of Burlington at this time, and the City has not made any decisions on this proposal.

A pre-application community meeting has been scheduled by the owner to discuss this potential redevelopment so that public can provide feedback at this early stage. The meeting will be held in a
virtual format.

Room for even more development in this part of the City.

  • Lydia Thomas

    Notice should be sent to all within at least 1 km not 120 meters. People have a right to know about these plans and weigh in on how it will affect traffic and services in their neighborhood. I am unhappy that city council did not give notice to the Aldershot community about massive storey extensions for builds on plains rd west that were within 1-2 km of our homes. Another example of lack of transparency and poor communication by this council in order to further their agenda (in this case to meet new housing targets). Our ignorance is bliss for the Mayor.
