Explanatory Note - Explanation of the Purpose & Effect of By-law Number 145-2024
The purpose of By-law 145-2024 to change the zoning for the lands located at 13, 15 and 29 Charles Street from UGC-B to UGC-B(5).
The effect of By-law 145-2024 is to permit the development a new 25-storey mixed-use building containing 408 purpose built student rental apartment units and 3,323 square metres (35,770 sq. ft.) of commercial floor space with site specific regulations related to increased residential density, maximum building height and gross floor area of retail floor space, and reduced minimum interior side and rear yard depths and reduced parking for student housing.
The effect of the “h-94” holding symbol is to ensure that the proposed development will not proceed until such time as site plan approval is obtained from the City, a noise study is completed that addresses the implementation of noise mitigation from adjacent stationary noise sources to the satisfaction of the City, the City is satisfied that the design and layout of the building reflects a purpose-built student housing project, and a Record of Site Condition has been provided to the satisfaction of the City. While the “h-94” holding symbol is in place, only uses permitted in the FD (Future Development) Zone shall be permitted.
All written and oral submissions received by the City of Oshawa were considered in the making of this decision.
