The proposed Draft
Plan of Subdivision seeks to enable the development of a 938 unit subdivision that includes: single detached homes (308 units), semi-detached homes (208), townhouses (266 units), back to back townhomes (156 units), parks/walkways (3.3 hectares), an elementary school (2.25 hectares), commercial uses (0.23 hectares) and storm water management ponds (3.12 hectares) with an internal network of roads. The lands included in the Draft Plan of Subdivision would implement the zone standards for the proposed subdivision. A key map showing the location of the lands is attached.
