3. PRELIMINARY REPORT
723187 ONTARIO INC.
APPLICATION FOR ZONING BY-LAW
AMENDMENT
TO PERMIT BUSINESS OFFICE,
RESTAURANT, RETAIL,
HEALTH/FITNESS FACILITY AND
RESIDENTIAL USE
180 MAIN STREET NORTH, MARKHAM
VILLAGE
FILE NO. ZA 15 109007 (10.5)
Report
The
Public Meeting this date was to consider an application submitted by 723187
Ontario Inc. for Zoning By-law Amendment to permit business office, restaurant,
retail, health/fitness facility and residential use at 180 Main Street North,
Markham Village (ZA 15 109007).
The Committee Clerk advised that 196 notices were mailed on April 6,
2016, and a Public Meeting sign was posted on April 5, 2016. Two written submissions were received
regarding this proposal.
Staff gave a presentation regarding the proposal, the location,
surrounding uses and outstanding issues, and explained the required parking for
the various proposed uses. Staff noted that two of the proposed uses (retail
and health/fitness facility uses) would require the submission of an Official
Plan Amendment by the applicant. Gary Heine of Johnson Sustronk Weinstein &
Associates, representing the applicant, was in attendance to respond to questions.
Tanya Holme, an area resident, supported the proposal for a restaurant
and suggested it would be good for the vibrancy of Main Street. Ms. Holme
considered that the houses in the area are undervalued for residential use.
Stephen Lough and Chris Rogers, adjacent property owners on Bullock
Drive, expressed concern for potential impacts on their home from the proposed
uses, particularly a restaurant: noise, garbage removal, traffic turning,
parking, privacy, and property values.
The Committee discussed restaurant uses, the policy of maintaining
retail uses in the commercial core area to the south, parking requirements,
permeability of the parking area, snow storage, and if this property was within
the BIA boundaries. Staff advised that the issues identified would be addressed
at the site plan stage.
