Transcription

1 AMENDMENT TO THE CITY OF CAMBRIDGE ZONING BY-LAW The Cambridge West lands are located on the west side of the City of Cambridge and represent some of the last remaining greenfield lands within the City s designated urban. The Cambridge West lands are approximately 90 hectares (222 acres) in size and are situated between existing residential neighbourhoods and open space to the east, the rail line to the south, Township of North Dumfries to the west and north and low density residential to the north. The lands are currently designated to permit low/medium density residential development. An Official Plan Amendment has also been submitted to amend the Natural Open Space System designation, to redesignate a portion of the lands to High Density Residential, to demarcate the limits of the Cambridge West Secondary Plan boundary and to modify other maps in the City of Cambridge Official Plan to implement the recommendations in the Cambridge West Master Environmental Servicing Plan ( MESP ). Furthermore, the Official Plan Amendment also includes a new Secondary Plan for the Cambridge West lands. The subject lands are presently zoned R3 with a Holding Zone ( H ) and by the City of Cambridge Zoning By-law A schedule showing the proposed zoning is attached. The proposed zoning will implement the proposed official plan amendments and the proposed draft plan of subdivision. The following zones are proposed: Residential ; Residential RM3; Residential ; Commercial C2; Commercial CS5; Institutional N1 applied to the proposed school block; applied to the wetlands, stormwater management facilities and open space blocks; and OS4 applied to the park block. The residential and commercial zones are proposed to be subject to site-specific provisions that will include among other matters regulations for secondary dwelling units and allow a reduced minimum front yard setback for the habitable portion of a building. Some blocks are proposed to be assigned more than one zone category to provide for flexibility in terms of the land use and form of development permitted. The purpose of the Zoning By-law Amendment is to implement the Cambridge West Secondary Plan.
