The City of Oshawa has announced it has passed a change in zoning requirements for a proposed 74-unit apartment building with ‘reduced’ sizes.
The property is located on the lands at 1251 Taunton Road East.
“The effect of By-law 107-2025 is to permit the development of a 74 unit apartment building subject to special zoning regulations related to increased density, reduced yard depths, reduced parking, increased lot coverage and to permit limited tandem parking,” said a city statement.
It pointed out that he effect of the “h-108” holding symbol is to ensure that appropriate arrangements are made for the provision of adequate sanitary, water, storm, and transportation services to serve this development, that site plan approval is obtained from the city to address such matters as parking, waste storage and collection, landscaping, lighting, fencing, snow storage and tree preservation, and that noise mitigation is implemented to the satisfaction of the city.
The lands to which this Zoning By-law Amendment applies are also subject to an application for an Official Plan Amendment (File: OPA-2024-05).
The amendment was passed by Oshawa City Council on the 29th of September.
