RECOMMENDATION:
That a Public Meeting be held to consider the
applications submitted by Brawley Manor Corporation, Mattamy (Robinson Creek) Ltd.,
Wynberry Developments Inc. and Amber Plains Investments Ltd. for draft plan of subdivision approvals and
implementing zoning by-law amendments to permit residential plans of subdivision within the
Wismer Commons community.
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this report is
to provide background information regarding four applications for draft plan of subdivision approvals and implementing zoning by-law amendments in the Wismer
Commons Community, and to recommend that the Committee
authorize the scheduling of a public meeting.
Public meetings were previously held for the proposed plans of
subdivision. Due to the time that has
passed (over 2 years) since these public meetings were held, new public
meetings are warranted.
BACKGROUND:
Property and Area Context
The subject lands (Figures 1 and 2) are
located west of Highway 48, north of 16th Avenue within the Wismer Commons
community. The lands are part of
proposed plans of subdivision and do not have servicing allocation assigned to
them. The parts of the plans that were
previously granted servicing allocation and draft approval have been
registered.
Official Plan and Zoning By-law
The Town’s Official Plan designates the lands
Urban Residential. The Wismer Commons
Secondary Plan designates the lands Urban Residential – Low Density. The lands
are currently zoned Agriculture (A1) and Rural Residential (RR4) by By-law
304-87, and Residential Two [R2*99(H)] by By-law 177-96.
Servicing Allocation
On February 22,
2005 Council
adopted a resolution assigning servicing allocation for 4,732 residential units,
subject to Regional Council approval of Markham’s proposed flow control
option and the additional allocation to the Town. Based on guidelines for prioritizing
allocation, the proposed allocation was distributed amongst the Town’s
secondary plan areas. The distribution
of proposed allocation to the Wismer Commons Secondary Plan area was based on
the completion of development blocks (filling in the holes). The
proposed plans of subdivision comprise the development blocks for which
servicing allocation was proposed.
Confirmation of additional allocation from the Region to the Town is
required prior to draft approval.

The proposed plans of subdivision are
comprised of the following:
