The Township of Uxbridge is holding a public meeting about the development of the Cemetery Road Neighbourhood.
The purpose of the Official Plan Amendment is to introduce a vision and related development policies for the lands in the Cemetery Road Neighbourhood in the Uxbridge Urban Area, said a township statement.
The Amendment is based on the results of the Cemetery Road Neighbourhood Study which examines issues related to the ongoing intensification/redevelopment of the Cemetery Road Neighbourhood including impacts on natural features and significant trees, servicing, and community character.
The Cemetery Road Neighbourhood is subject to the policies of the Uxbridge Urban Area Secondary Plan of the Township of Uxbridge Official Plan. Schedule ‘A’, Land Use and Transportation Plan Uxbridge Urban Area designates the majority of the area as ‘Residential Area’. The exceptions are the cemeteries which are designated ‘Cemetery Area’ and two areas at the south end designated “’Environmental Constraint Area’. In addition, the apartment site adjacent to Toronto Street is designated ‘Residential – Higher Density’.
The Cemetery Road Neighbourhood is located in the Uxbridge Urban Area. It takes the form of an elongated crescent connecting, at both its north and south ends, to Toronto Street South generally between the northern entrance to Campbell Drive and the boundary of the Uxbridge Urban Area to the south.
The statutory public meeting is to make available adequate information to the public regarding, and to consider, a proposed Township Official Plan Amendment pursuant to Section 17 of the Planning Act, R.S.O., 1990, to implement the Cemetery Road Neighbourhood Study. The statutory public meeting will be preceded by a public open house to allow for an opportunity for additional review of the Official Plan Amendment and the Neighbourhood Study on which it is based, said a township statement.
The public meeting and open house are being held electronically and will be livestreamed for public viewing at calendar.uxbridge.ca. The meeting and open house dates and times are as follows:
Public Open House: Wednesday April 6 from 7-8:30 pm.
Public Meeting: Monday, April 11 from 7 pm.
