Applications have been received to amend the Official Plan of the Town of Bracebridge and Comprehensive Zoning By-law 2016-088, as amended, for the subject lands located at 10 and 14 Douglas Drive.
The purpose of the Official Plan Amendment is to add a site-specific policy to allow for a maximum density of 78 units per hectare for a total of 199 dwelling units permitted on the subject lands. An Official Plan Amendment is required to permit the site-specific density requested as Section C2.1.9 of the Official Plan currently only allows for a maximum gross density of 42 units per hectare for medium density development.
The properties are currently zoned Residential Type 1 (R1), with permitted uses including Detached Dwelling or Group Home ‘A’ with permitted accessory uses of Home Occupation, Bed and Breakfast, Second Dwelling Unit and Backyard Hens.
The zoning amendment is proposing to rezone the subject lands from the current Residential Type 1 (R1) zone to Residential Type 3 Special – 33 (R3-33).

- That the total minimum lot area shall be 27,903 square metres (300,345.39 square feet);
- That the minimum front yard setback shall be 1.60 metre (5.24 feet);
- That the minimum front yard setback for balconies, decks and porches, steps, patios or ramps to the front lot line shall be 0.25 metres (0.82 feet);

- That the minimum rear yard setback shall be 7.65 metres (25.09 feet);
- That the minimum setback to the centreline of Douglas Drive be 10.85 metres (35.59 feet);
- That the minimum setback for parking be 1.45 metres (4.75 feet) from the front lot line and 1.50 metres (4.92 feet) from any side lot line;
- That the maximum lot coverage shall be 37%; and at the minimum setback to the centreline of Douglas Drive be 10.85 metres (35.59 feet);
- That the minimum setback for parking be 1.45 metres (4.75 feet) from the front lot line and 1.50 metres (4.92 feet) from any side lot line;
