Location of the Subject Lands
The lands subject to the proposed Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment are located at 207 Durham Street South and are legally known as Part of Lot 28, Concession 1
(Formerly Village of Colborne), Township of Cramahe (Assessment Roll # 14110120302032000000 and 14110120302030100000). A key map is attached showing the location of the Subject Lands.

Purpose and Effect of the Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment
The Official Plan Amendment is seeking approval to amend the designation of the subject lands from “Development” to “Village Residential” in order to permit the development of a 206 unit subdivision. The Official Plan Amendment also seeks a site-specific exception to permit a higher density. The Zoning By-law Amendment is seeking a site-specific Residential 2 Exception (R2-XX) and Residential 3 Exception (R3-XX) zone to implement the Official Plan designation and to permit a reduced lot size, frontage, and setbacks.
