Back to SearchThe Planning and Building Services Department received an application for an Official Plan Amendment for the lands located at 406 Lakeshore Road. The application was declared complete on October 29, 2021, pursuant to section 22 (6.1) of the Planning Act, based on the information submitted with the application and a preliminary review by staff.
Proposal
The Amendment has been requested to permit the construction of a future residential subdivision, which would include a mix of low, medium, and high-density housing, along with mixed-use, commercial and parkland uses. Based on the concept plan submitted by the Applicant, the future subdivision would accommodate 794 dwelling units and 585 m2 of commercial floor area.
The City’s Official Plan designates the subject lands for Employment, permitting a range of industrial uses. The Amendment would redesignate most of the land to Neighbourhood Residential in the General Land Use Plan (Schedule D1) and a variety of designations in the more detailed North Planning District (Schedule E2) to reflect the development concept. A strip of Employment lands would remain along the Seaway Haulage Road frontage.
The application materials are available for review and comment and may be found in the 406 Lakeshore Road folder at www.stcatharines.ca/development as well as at the Planning and Building Services Department, City Hall.
