How will the current C1.5 zoning districts be treated under the new By-law?
Because the lists of permitted and conditional uses were similar in the current by-law, the existing C1.5 and C2 zoning districts have been merged in the new By-law. C1.5 areas generally correspond to existing Business Improvement Zones. In addition, the majority of the C1.5 areas are located within the defined Urban Infill Areas, where new development or redevelopment will be required to fit in with the building setbacks and yards of nearby existing development. In the future, several of these areas, such as Osborne Village and Corydon Avenue, may be the subject of an additional planning study or a Secondary Plan, and the key provisions of those plans could be reflected in a PDO-1 Planned Development Overlay district in order to better protect the unique character of those areas.
