• Implement a draft plan of subdivision (S-O-2024-01) which proposes to create 8 single detached dwelling lots fronting Guelph Street and 2 semi-detached dwelling lots fronting Crerar Avenue; and,

• Rezone the lands from R2/CIN (Residential/Community Institutional) to an appropriate R2 (Residential) Zone to permit the proposed development, with site specific conditions to permit certain performance standards such as, but not necessarily limited to, reduced lot area and rear yard depth and increased lot coverage for the single detached dwellings.
