On the Agenda:

A developer wants to tear down the existing house at 263 Oxford Street and build a small subdivision. The plan includes 2 single detached homes and 8 semi-detached homes, plus an extension of Direzze Court (a public road).


Zoning changes:

The land is currently zoned for low-density single homes (R2). The developer wants it rezoned to a denser category (R4) to allow semis and smaller lot sizes. They’re also asking for some exceptions (like narrower lot frontages, smaller lot sizes, higher lot coverage).

Location:

The property is just east of Bathurst Street, on the south side of Oxford Street. It’s surrounded by other single and semi-detached houses.


Planning context:

  • The City’s Official Plan allows single and semi-detached homes here.

  • The site is within a Priority Infill Area, meaning the City is paying closer attention to how new development fits with the existing neighbourhood.

  • Staff say the proposal generally matches the character of nearby homes but still needs a more detailed review.

Written correspondence must be submitted by 12 p.m. on the day of the meeting.
