Details

The purpose of this application is to amend the Municipal Planning Strategy and Land Use Bylaw, so that all properties that are a part of the application are designated and zoned Rural Comprehensive Development District (RCDD) and to enter into a development agreement to permit a 550 dwelling unit bare-land condominium development with 24.6 hectares of multi-use development (commercial & residential). The concept plan shows the 550 dwelling units and the multiple use lands divided into eight (8) different condo villages. The development includes two new public roads that run through the new development and that connect Nature Drive to East Uniacke Road. The concept plan also shows multiple private driveways running through the development. One private driveway in Village 5 connects to Long Lake Road. The concept plan shows open space for future park development in two locations. A small park with frontage on Moores Lake and a second future park location to be determined. Each condominium development also has an area for the common use of residents living in the condo development. Village 9A and 9B are proposed to be subdivided and sold as freehold lots and will not be incorporated into a condo development. The applicant has asked for a wide range of commercial uses to be permitted on the multiple use lands and staff will narrow down the uses as the application proceeds. The concept plan also shows wetland areas. Together with the existing Cottage Country development, there are proposed to be 951 bare-land condominium units as part of the development.
