(Illustration by @jribdesign) New Development Proposed for Northeast Area (from Whitby Staff Report - Planning and Development - PL 53-19) A public meeting on the following proposal will take place on Mon., June 3, at 7 pm in Council Chambers at Whitby Town Hall. A Temporary Use Zoning By-law Amendment Application has been submitted by Brooklin Northeast Developments CR Inc. to permit a residential sales office at the northeast corner of Columbus Road East and Thickson Road North. The sales office will serve the residential development proposed by Zancor Homes at 300 Carnwith Drive. The subject land is located at the northeast corner of Columbus Road East and Thickson Road North. The subject land is approximately 1.2 ha (3 acres) in size and is currently vacant. The proposed sales office is approximately 315 sq. m. and includes 38 parking spaces, 2 of which are accessible. The purpose of the Temporary Use Zoning By-law Amendment Application is to permit a residential sales office on the subject land for a period of 3 years. The sales office will serve the residential development proposed by Zancor Homes at 300 Carnwith Drive. The subject land is located in the Brooklin Secondary Plan within the area of OPA 108 that is under appeal. If approved by the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (LPAT), the subject land will be designated as "Special Purpose Commercial". No development applications can be submitted on the subject land at this time as the Brooklin Secondary Plan in this location is under appeal and a comprehensive block plan for the Brooklin north landowners group has not been endorsed by Council.
