Zoning Changes – Innisfil Beach Road Lakelands Avenue

Open House

February 18, 2020

What we’d like to touch upon first

• What is a zoning by-law?
• Where are the changes coming from?
• What is proposed?
• Can feedback tonight change the plan?
• What comes next?

What is a Zoning By-Law?

• Set of rules that implement the Official Plan
• States what can be done on land and where
• Contains distinct “zones”

What is a Zoning By-Law?

• To lift the ICB à Staff are preparing new

zoning for the ICB lands that is in line with the Official Plan

What has spurred this change?

àConsultation from Our Place – Innisfil’s Official Plan 2018 àChanges to key streets àProvincial requirement towards intensification àPlacemaking focus à IBPMP: How could lands could work with the park.

Our objective

• Transition with neighbors
• Benefits of walkability
• Gentle density to

support new businesses

• Diversified housing
• ptions
• More “complete

neighborhoods”

• Aligning with park
• bjectives

Zoning is the tool to make changes

Creating the Base Mixed Use 3 Zone

• What is the Mixed Use Three Zone (MU3)?
• How will can we further tailor zoning for the

street?

• Captured in handout, Section 5.2 Zone

Regulations

One possible version of the MU3 zone

Set back farther from street at 3rd storey Two to four storeys Ground floor commercial Building comes close to sidewalk Minimal side setbacks

One possible version of the MU3 zone

Large rear yard setback to support rear parking area Deep landscape strip to support large mature trees Wide pedestrian boulevard

Further tailoring the MU3 zone

• Tailoring the

rules results in “zoning exceptions”

• Four are being

proposed

MU3-1 Zone

• 2-4 storeys
• Increased 10m

rear yard setback

• Setbacks to

properties on 25 Sideroad

• Rooftop

amenity uses

MU3-2 Zone

• 2-3 storeys
• 10 m rear yard

setback

• Allowed

rooftop amenity space

MU3-3 Zone

• 2 storeys
• 10 m rear yard

setback

• 6 m side yard

setbacks to residential

• Restrictions on

rooftop uses and patios

MU3-4 Zone

• 2 storeys
• 15 m setback from lake
• 75% naturalization of

waterfront per Our Shore

• 6 m side yard setback from

residential

• Rooftop and patio use

restrictions

• Other use restrictions

What does Our Shore have to do with it?

• Our Shore is a lot like a Zoning By-law
• We can’t have both sets of rules on the land
• The Zoning By-law is better fit for Mixed Use
