Zoning Changes – Innisfil Beach Road Lakelands Avenue Open House February 18, 2020
What we’d like to touch upon first What is a zoning by-law? • Where are the changes coming from? • What is proposed? • Can feedback tonight change the plan? • What comes next? •
What is a Zoning By-Law? • Set of rules that implement the Official Plan • States what can be done on land and where • Contains distinct “zones”
What is a Zoning By-Law? • To lift the ICB à Staff are preparing new zoning for the ICB lands that is in line with the Official Plan
What has spurred this change? à Consultation from Our Place – Innisfil’s Official Plan 2018 à Changes to key streets à Provincial requirement towards intensification à Placemaking focus à IBPMP: How could lands could work with the park.
Our objective • Transition with neighbors • Benefits of walkability • Gentle density to support new businesses • Diversified housing options • More “complete neighborhoods” • Aligning with park objectives
Zoning is the tool to make changes
Creating the Base Mixed Use 3 Zone • What is the Mixed Use Three Zone (MU3)? • How will can we further tailor zoning for the street? • Captured in handout, Section 5.2 Zone Regulations
One possible version of the MU3 zone Two to four storeys Minimal side Set back setbacks farther from street at 3rd storey Ground floor Building comes close to sidewalk commercial
One possible version of the MU3 zone Deep Large rear Wide landscape yard setback pedestrian strip to support to support rear boulevard large mature parking area trees
Further tailoring the MU3 zone • Tailoring the rules results in “zoning exceptions” • Four are being proposed
MU3-1 Zone • 2-4 storeys • Increased 10m rear yard setback • Setbacks to properties on 25 Sideroad • Rooftop amenity uses
MU3-2 Zone • 2-3 storeys • 10 m rear yard setback • Allowed rooftop amenity space
MU3-3 Zone • 2 storeys • 10 m rear yard setback • 6 m side yard setbacks to residential • Restrictions on rooftop uses and patios
MU3-4 Zone • 2 storeys • 15 m setback from lake • 75% naturalization of waterfront per Our Shore • 6 m side yard setback from residential • Rooftop and patio use restrictions • Other use restrictions
What does Our Shore have to do with it? • Our Shore is a lot like a Zoning By-law • We can’t have both sets of rules on the land • The Zoning By-law is better fit for Mixed Use
