Councillors voted unani- mously during the July 11 meeting of the planning and development council to re- ject requests by Graywood Developments for zoning changes that would permit the building of the nine-sto- rey condo at 2365-2377 Lake- shore Rd., W. The development would have featured 180 residen- tial units, 673 square metres of ground floor commercial space and 161 parking spac- es. The 0.37-hectare site is located on the north side of Lakeshore Road West be- tween Jones Street and Nel- son Street. In a report to council, town staff pointed out cur- rent site zoning on the site permits building heights of four-storeys with develop- ers able to achieve a maxi- mum of six-storeys through bonusing. Kate Cockburn, of the town's Planning Ser- vices Department, also not- ed a development of this size requires 200 parking spaces, not 161. The property is sur- rounded by a four-storey mixed-use building to the south, one storey commer- cial buildings to the west, detached dwellings to the north and one-storey com- mercial buildings to the east. Several area residents were not impressed with the proposal with five dele- gations speaking against it during the council meeting. Brad Hallowell took is- sue with the proposed height as well as the num- ber of new people the devel- opment would bring to the area. "The density will in- crease an already problem- atic stretch of Lakeshore Road West," he said. "That area during rush hour is already quite con- gested. There is no ability to widen Lakeshore Road in that area because the exist- ing mixed-use townhouses go directly to the side- walks." Hallowell went on to say he is not opposed to the revitalization of Bronte, but noted revitalization needs to maintain Bronte's histor- ic village character. Another resident voiced concerns about the number of parking spaces proposed for the development noting predatory towing practices at a local grocery store have already led to more street parking in his area. He fears street parking will get worse when shoppers, ten- ants and visitors to the de- velopment fail to find park- ing and take up spaces on surrounding streets. Other residents were concerned about shadows cast by the building while others said a building of this size would be greatly out of place in this section of the Bronte Village community. Oz Kemal, of MHBC Planning, spoke on behalf of the developer arguing the site is currently underuti- lized and located within Bronte Village, a recog- nized strategic growth area. He said shadows would not be an issue, and noted the design of the building is in- tended to help transition from the higher-density Bronte Village gateway ar- ea to the low-rise residential area. Kemal also said with the region recently voting against further boundary expansion, growth must be accommodated through in- tensification. He went on to say the town continues to top the list as one of the most expensive places to buy real estate because of a lack of housing inventory. Oakville Mayor Rob Bur- ton rejected this idea noting that Oakville has exceeded Halton's new annual hous- ing affordability targets. "We achieve our goals, we just don't necessarily do it in the way some developers may demand," said Burton. Ward 1 Coun. Beth Rob- ertson took issue with the small amount of retail space being proposed, arguing the development would take a considerable area of prime Lakeshore Road property away from local businesses. Ward 1 Coun. Sean O'Meara said the developer has said little about the is- sues the town has with their proposal. "In my eight years I have never had a lack of communication on a devel- opment proposal like I have with this. It's shocking," said O'Meara. "They want what they want, and they won't deal with anything. That's not how we work in Oakville."
