Explanatory Note

Explanation of the Purpose & Effect of

By-law Number 28-2025

The purpose of By-law 28-2025 (File: Z-2024-02) is to change the zoning for the lands
generally located at 121, 125 and 131 Bloor Street East from PSC-A (Planned Strip
Commercial) to PSC-A(22) “h-102” (Planned Strip Commercial).

The effect of By-law 28-2025 is to permit an 11 storey mixed-use building with 167 apartment
units and 90.95 square metres of commercial floor space on the ground floor with site specific
regulations related to increased height and density, reduced parking, and reduced front, side
and rear yard depths for those portions of a building above 13.0 metres in height.

The effect of the “h-102” holding symbol is to ensure that site plan approval is obtained from
the City for such matters as landscaping, fencing, noise mitigation, lighting and compatibility
with the C.N. Rail corridor. While the “h-102” holding symbol is in place only the existing uses
are permitted, together with all uses permitted in a PSC-A (Planned Strip Commercial) zone
within existing buildings and structures.

All written and oral submissions received by the City of Oshawa were considered in the making
of this decision.

The key map shows the location of the lands to which By-law 28-2025 applies.

The lands to which this Zoning By-law Amendment applies are also subject to an application
for an Official Plan Amendment (File: OPA-2024-02).
