Councillor Rick Craven has advised that the City’s Planning Department is having informal discussions with a developer about the 3 hectare piece of land bounded by Masonry Court, Waterdown Road and the GO station. The developer is interested in constructing 733 new homes in this area including 4 six storey apartment buildings and many townhouses. Staff tell Councillor Craven that such a proposal is allowed, and even encouraged under the City’s Official Plan and Zoning Bylaw, but there remain a variety of outstanding questions and concerns. There is no official application at this time. If and when this proposal becomes official Councillor Craven will host a public meeting in Aldershot to discuss it.
