Notice of Public Meeting

File Number: D35-002-2020

Address: 999 Purdy’s Mill Road

Application Type: Zoning By-Law Amendment & Draft Plan of Subdivision

Applicant: Homestead Land Holdings Limited

Purpose and Effect of the Application: to rezone the lands and obtain draft plan of subdivision to create 117 residential lots consisting of 3 blocks for high-rise apartments 4 for mid-rise apartments, including one mixed-use building, and 110 residential lots, including one block for the Riley Farmhouse. The subdivided lands would be supported by a stormwater management block, 2 park blocks and a series of connective open space areas and pathways together with the extension of Old Mill Road which would connect with the City’s planned extension of Cataraqui Woods Drive.

Description of the subject lands: The site is identified as 999 Purdy’s Mill Road which is located at the northern terminus of Old Mill Road. The property has an area of approximately 18 hectares and is currently designated Residential in the City of Kingston Official Plan with a small portion designated Environmental Protection Area and is variously zoned R4-1, R4-3, R4-12, and R4-14 in the former Zoning By-Law Number 76-26; and, UR2 and OS1 in Zoning By-Law 2022-62.

The applicant is requesting the lands be rezoned to the URM2, UR5, and UR2 zones within the Kingston Zoning By-law with exception overlays to allow for the 14, 16 and 17 storey high-rise buildings (inclusive of penthouse mechanical and amenity area) and the 4 storey mid-rise buildings. The amendments would require ground floor commercial in the southern mid-rise building located on the east side of the proposed Old Mill Road extension, and would provide certain relief for the built form and programming of the planned buildings (e.g., setbacks, parking requirements) as well as enhanced requirements for setbacks and vegetative buffers.
