Red-Line Revisions to a Draft Approved Plan of Subdivision and Zoning By-law Amendment in the Foster Creek North Neighbourhood, Newcastle

File Number: ZBA2020-0013
Address: Northeast corner of Rudell Road and Grady Drive and south of the Canadian Pacific Railway.

Lindvest Properties (Clarington) Limited is proposing to make red-line revisions to Phase 4 of a Draft Approved Plan of Subdivision (18T-89059). The red-line revisions include increasing the lot frontage of several lots north of Whitehand Drive and reducing the lot frontage of several lots south of Whitehand Drive. The road network north of Whitehand Drive has also been altered to eliminate cul-de-sacs. The proposal will result in six additional lots within Phase 4. The Zoning By-law Amendment is to permit the proposed changes to the lots and increase lot coverage from 40 per cent to 45 per cent for two-storey dwellings and from 45 to 50 per cent for one-storey and bungaloft dwellings.

Brief history of property or application: In March 2004, approval was granted for the Foster Creek North Neighbourhood Design Plan and two draft plans of Subdivision. Three phases of the subdivisions have been registered and are fully occupied. The remaining phases to be developed of Draft Approved Plan of Subdivision 18T-89059 are a former school block that was registered in 2020 and Phase 4, the lands subject to the current applications.

A public meeting is scheduled for October 5, 2020.

Date: Monday, October 5, 2020
Time: 7 p.m.
Place: Electronic Teams meeting by way of online device or telephone
