The Town of Ajax is considering a proposal to build a 19-storey residential mixed-use building on lands along Harwood Avenue.
The project is located immediately north of the lands municipally known as 1901 Harwood Avenue North (see map below).
To facilitate the development of the 19-storey tower on the subject lands, a public meeting was held last month on implementing by-laws for Official Plan Amendment Application OPA24-A12 and Zoning By-law Amendment Application Z16/24, prior to consideration of such by the town council
The purpose of Official Plan Amendment Application OPA24-A12 and the proposed implementing by-law is to redesignate the lands from the Prestige Employment designation to the Mixed Commercial Corridor designation and establish Area Specific Policy 6.41 for the subject lands to permit a maximum height of 19-storeys and a maximum density of 680 units per net hectare, said a town announcement.
The purpose of Zoning By-law Amendment Application Z16/24 and the proposed implementing by-law is to rezone the lands from the Prestige Employment (PE) Zone to Local Commercial (LC) Zone with a site-specific exception (Exception 227), to establish development standards that would implement the proposed residential mixed-use development of the subject lands.
The town said the proposed implementing by-laws were being brought forward under the authority of Section 284.11.1 of the Municipal Act and in accordance with Ontario Regulation 580/22, “Provincial Priorities”.
