Proposed Development at
16 / 18 Mill Street 

Current Development Proposal Concerns

• The proposal is to allow for a high density building in an area that is currently zoned for medium density

• The proposal is to build a 6 story building in an area zoned for maximum 4 story buildings 

• The proposal is to reduce the minimum required Greenland setbacks and the minimum required frontage at the road and from the side and rear of the yard, resulting in an oversized building for the size of the lot

• The proposal is to permit a reduction in the required parking spaces, which will result in more street parking and congestion

• The proposal is to reduce the number of loading spaces from three to one, which will result in congestion as people move into and out of the building

Proposed Development at 59, 61 and 63 King Street and 1 Elgin Street

Current Development Proposal Concerns

• The proposal to allow construction of medium density buildings inside a low density area.

• The proposed building's driveway and parking accesses Elgin Street which is a major access way to the Go Station. This will increase traffic congestion and create access problems into and out of the Go Station and proposed buildings

• The proposal exceeds the maximum lot coverage and reduces the green space available to the residents 

• The proposed Tap Room and Pizzeria will cause the following:

  • Tap Room customers will park in the Go Station thus reducing available parking for Go Transit Riders. 

  • Tap Room customers will park on surrounding roads increasing congestion problems on King Street and will impact the safety

  •  Increase noise which impacted residents’ quiet enjoyment of the neighbourhood.

  • The Furnace Brewery currently utilizes the residential waste collection and with this proposed Tap Room/Pizzaria this waste situation and eye sore will increase.
