APPLICATION BY MASKEEN (HAMILTON) PROPERTIES CORP. FOR REZONING AT 4651, 4671, 4691 SMITH CRESCENT, 23301, 23321, 23361, AND 23381 GILLEY ROAD FROM THE “SINGLE DETACHED (RS1/F)” ZONE TO THE “RESIDENTIAL/LIMITED COMMERCIAL (ZMU53)– NEIGHBOURHOOD VILLAGE CENTRE (HAMILTON)” ZONE

Proposed amendments to the Hamilton Area Plan are intended to provide additional residential floor area in recognition of the developer voluntarily agreeing to construct the City-owned community amenity facility on-site. More specifically the amendments to the Hamilton Area Plan to secure the community amenity facility include:  Redesignating a portion of 4651 Smith Crescent from “Neighbourhood Residential (Stacked Townhouse 1.00 FAR)” to “Neighbourhood Village Centre (Retail and Office with Residential above 4 Storey 1.50 FAR)” to match the designation of the majority of the subject site (Attachment 2).  Clarifying provisions for additional density and building height on sites that provide City- owned facilities community amenities (as identified in the plan) in the village centre.  Providing flexibility to allow the creation of a development lot that exceeds 10,000 m2. These proposed amendments to the Hamilton Area Plan together result in allowing an additional approximately 1,069 m2 (11,506 ft2) of residential floor area on the subject site, helping to offset the additional cost of providing the turnkey City-owned community amenity facility (e.g. Community Policing Office) beyond the value of the required community amenity cash contribution. The development has been designed to fit within the existing site context with the taller portion of the development located at the south edge of the site fronting High Street Gilley Road and turning the corner onto Smith Crescent, and with Garripie Avenue providing a separation between the proposed development and the existing single-family lots to the north. For these reasons, staff support the proposed amendments.
