Explanatory Note Re By-law 2025-017:
By-law Number 2025-017 is a By-law to amend Zoning By-law 2017-66, as amended, being the Schomberg and King City Urban Areas By-law. Specifically, the Zoning By-law Amendment concerns lands municipally known as 12734 and 12750 Keele Street which measure 0.48 hectares with 73 metres of frontage and currently support two dwellings and a detached garage. The subject lands are currently zoned ‘Future Use’ (F) by the Urban Areas Zoning By-law for Schomberg and King City (2017-66), as amended.
The Zoning By-law Amendment proposes to rezone the lands to Core Area - King City Exception Section 7.5.2.21 Holding (CAK-21 (H)) to facilitate the development of a 6-storey building containing 144 apartment units together with two levels of underground parking to accommodate 144 spaces. The site exceptions under the by-law provide for a reduced front yard, an increased building height to a maximum of 6 storeys, the location and size of outdoor amenity area, increased floor space index, a decreased parking rate, an increased height for a mechanical penthouse and other amendments to the definitions and general provisions of the by-law to implement the development. A Holding Symbol (H) is also included on the zoning to ensure the timing of development is met with technical confirmations from Metrolinx and the Township with respect to Site Plan approval and servicing matters prior to construction.
