Loon Call Markdale Subdivision

Background: In 2023, a subdivision commonly referred to as Loon Call (42T-2021-08) received draft plan of subdivision approval subject to detailed conditions to be satisfied prior to final approval. Related site-specific Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendments were also approved at that time to permit the future development. 

Current Applications: New applications have been submitted to modify the draft plan of subdivision (also referred to as a redline revision) and a site-specific zoning by-law amendment to apply to a portion of the site. 

The new and revised applications include the following: Redline Revision to Draft Plan of Subdivision (42T-2021-08) and Zoning By-law Amendment (Z11.2025)
The purpose and effect of the revision to the subdivision is to convert 18 of the proposed single detached lots to 30 townhouse units (Lots 197 to 209 and 268 to 272 on the original draft plan of subdivision). The lots proposed to be changed are in phase 1 located at the southeast end of the development. If approved, this would result in a total of 483 residential units for this development and will increase the net residential density proposed by the entire development to 27.7 units per hectare. In order to implement this request approval is being sought for a redline revision to the current Draft Plan Approval. The proposed redline is within the current limits of development previously established, and there are no changes to the hazard lands, open space, or to the layout of the streets.

To implement these proposed changes to the Draft Plan of Subdivision, a Zoning By-law Amendment is required. The purpose and effect of the application is to amend the zoning by-law 2004-50 to rezone a portion of the subject lands from Residential with exception and holding provision (R-470-h) to Residential with exception (R-472-h) to permit the townhouse units.
