Proposed Development

The Town is holding a Statutory Public Meeting for the proposed Zoning Bylaw Amendment for the subject property to consider a proposed development for 12875 Tenth Line.

What are the Proposed Changes?

The Rezoning Application seeks to rezone the property from Agricultural Exception Two (AG(2)), Flood Hazard (FH) and Environmental (ENV), to site-specific Residential New Four (RN4) and Residential New Five (RN5), Open Space (OS), Environmental (ENV), and Flood Hazard (FH) Zones. This would facilitate the proposed 475 residential units, in the form of:

  • 48 rear-lane townhouse units;
  • 18 back-to-back townhouse units;
  • 36 back-to-back stacked townhouse units;
  • 18 stacked townhouse units;
  • 127 units in a residential building;
  • 187 units in a mixed-use building; and
  • 41 units in a mixed-use building primarily situated on the northern adjacent property.

An associated Draft Plan of Subdivision application has been filed and is being processed concurrently. The Draft Plan of Subdivision would create 6 blocks.

This is a way for you to offer input and to get involved.

Any person may attend the Public Meeting in person or electronically and make written and/or verbal representation either in support of or against the proposed Zoning by-law Amendment application.

If you wish to speak, please contact the Town Clerk at clerks@townofws.ca for more information or to register to speak electronically before noon of the day prior to the Public Meeting.
