An Official Plan Amendment application is proposed to add a Special Policy Area to permit the development of the subject lands with a stacked townhouse building with a residential density of 105 units per hectare. No other changes to the Official Plan are proposed. A Zoning By-law Amendment is also required to rezone the lands from “Commercial – CS5” to the “Residential – RM2” zone with site specific provisions in order to facilitate the development of the stacked townhouse units on the subject lands. Site specific provisions are being requested for a reduction in visitor parking, a reduction in the required common amenity area, a reduction in the southerly interior side yard, and to permit a density of 105 units per hectare.

R05/23 - 20 Ripplewood Road |

The City of Cambridge has received a development application for Zoning By-law Amendment and Plan of Subdivision for the development of 20 Ripplewood Road. The applicant is proposing a Zoning By-law Amendment to rezone 20 Ripplewood Road from (H)R4 to a site-specific RM4 zone consistent with the approved site-specific zoning on Block 123 of the adjacent registered subdivision (Hazel Glenn Subdivision). The applicant has also submitted an application for draft Plan of Subdivision on the subject lands. The proposed draft Plan of Subdivision consists of one block proposed for townhouse units. The proposed Zoning By-law Amendment and draft Plan of Subdivision would permit additional residential units to be developed in conjunction with the adjacent Block 123 as one cluster condominium development for a total of 185 townhouse units. The development on the subject lands and Block 123 will require a future Site Plan and a Plan of Condominium applications. The proposed Zoning By-law Amendment also requests removal of the current Holding provision on the subject property. The Holding is proposed to be removed since municipal servicing would be available and provided through the adjacent subdivision. A statutory public meeting has been scheduled for June 20, 2023. A Notice of Complete Application and Public Meeting has been circulated to property owners within a 120 metre radius of the subject property and has been posted in the Cambridge Times.
