Title
Latimer Neighbourhood Plan Mixed-Use Exception
Recommended Action
Moved by Councillor Woodward,
Seconded by Councillor Richter,
Whereas mixed-use nodes spread throughout high-density residential neighbourhoods enable “vibrant, pedestrian-orientated areas where residents can access a variety of small-scale retail and other commercial services” (Latimer Neighbourhood Plan - Page 22);
Whereas mixed-use nodes are a fundamental component of quality pedestrian-orientated neighbourhoods and, therefore, should not be compromised;
Whereas within the Latimer Neighbourhood Plan’s Land Use Plan (LNP Page 68) properties 20115 and 20139 - 80 Avenue (5 Acres) are designated Apartment - Mixed Use; and
Whereas within the text definition of Apartment - Mixed Use (LNP Pages 22-23) these two properties are granted an unique exclusion from the Land Use Plan, an exclusion from the land use plan not granted to any other properties; and
Therefore be it resolved that staff be directed to bring forward a Latimer Neighbourhood Plan text amendment to remove the unique exclusion for 20115 and 20139 - 80 Avenue from the Apartment - Mixed Use definition and requirements.
REFERRAL
Moved by Councillor Woodward,
Seconded by Councillor Whitmarsh,
