On Oct. 27, 2021, City Council approved the new Official Plan that will take us into 2046. This plan comes with a lot of inevitable changes that will lead to revised zoning by-laws that will transform our neighbourhoods. Within 300 metres of an existing or planned rapid transit station (Baseline rapid transit bus route) minimum building heights of four stories and minimum lot coverage of 70 per cent are proposed. A secondary plan can help override this to protect our core character and values. The CVCA will be working with the city and other community associations on three secondary plans that we hope will improve our community and help with the transformation.
The Baseline Secondary Plan, the Merivale Road Secondary Plan and the City View Secondary Plan will all be written and/or refined. We have a lot of work to do and would be glad to have some community input and members on this team.
