Part 1 — The Preamble
1.1 Purpose
The purpose of this Official Plan Amendment is to amend the wording in Section
C14.3.6 Horseshoe Valley Medium Density Residential designation and to
amend Schedule D Horseshoe Valley Land Use Schedule in the Township of
Oro - Medonte Official Plan.
The intent of the Official Plan Amendment is to amend Section C14.3.6 of the
Official Plan, as identified for lands shown on Appendix A to this amendment, to
permit townhouse dwellings and a maximum density of 23 units per hectare, on
lands identified as Plan 51 M -1035, Lots 45 to 48 inclusive and Lots 9 to 13
inclusive
1.2 Location
The subject property legally described as Part of South Half of Lot 3 and Part of
Lot 4, Concession 4, Geographic Township of Oro, Township of Oro - Medonte,
being Plan 51 M -1035 is a registered Plan of Subdivision and approved for
residential development.
1.3 Basis
The current registered plan is designated for a mix of low and medium density
residential uses. Currently approved within the registered plan is 57 single family
lots and 27 townhouse lots. This Official Plan Amendment requests to re-
designate a total of 9 single family residential lots within the plan to permit a total
of 19 townhouse lots.
Lots 45 through 48 and lots 9 through 13, as shown on Appendix A to this
amendment, are proposed to be re- designated from Horseshoe Valley Low
Density Residential to Horseshoe Valley Medium Density Residential to permit
eight (8) and eleven (11) townhouse lots, respectively.
1.4 Justification
The subject property is located within the Horseshoe Valley Settlement Area and
is designated in the Township of Oro - Medonte Official Plan as Horseshoe Valley
Low and Medium Density Residential. The Horseshoe Valley Low Density
Residential designation is intended to accommodate single family residential
0
uses while the Horseshoe Valley Medium Density Residential designation
permits a variety of uses including townhouse and midrise development.
The proposal to re- designate the subject lands as shown on Appendix A to
accommodate medium density residential uses on the lands represents
residential intensification within a settlement area through an efficient and orderly
use of infrastructure. The medium density designation will allow for the lands to
be developed with a wider range of housing opportunities, providing the
opportunity for a greater townhouse mix on lands identified as a growth node by
both the Township and the County.
The proposed land use conforms to the policies of the Growth Plan, the
Provincial Policy Statement (2014), the County of Simcoe Official Plan, and the
Township of Oro - Medonte Official Plan. Accommodating a medium residential
density and allowing for a wider range of housing types to accommodate the
changing market on the development lands represents an appropriate form of
intensification within an existing serviced area that demonstrates ongoing growth
potential.
