Clarington Council has approved the Official Plan Amendment and the Zoning By-law Amendment to permit a 10-storey building and 44 townhouses at 1465 Highway 2 in Courtice.
The proposed 10-storey building would have 140 residential units, plus the site will add 200 square metres of commercial floor space in a place easily accessible by residents of these developments and others nearby, said a council statement.
It said the proposal also includes indoor and outdoor common amenity spaces and an outdoor patio on the west commercial unit to enhance the public realm along Highway 2.
The lands needed to be zoned from General Commercial Exception Zone to a Residential Mixed Use Exception Zone to enable the proposed development. The new zoning will better align with the approved vision for the Courtice Main Street area.
The townhouse units will be situated in five separate blocks.
The site is approximately 1.1 hectares, producing a housing density of approximately 170 units per hectare. The site plan details and tenure will be addressed through future Site Plan and Plan of Condominium applications, said a council statement.
