Westwood Village Phase 2 - Official Plan Amendment, Plan of Subdivisions & Zoning By-law Amendment

The lands subject to the Official Plan Amendment, Subdivision, and Zoning By-law Amendment are located immediately adjacent to the Cambridge/North Dumfries Municipal Boundary situated to the north of the Blenheim Road/Roseville Road corridor, east of Cruickston Creek. The Lands are Situated in Part of Lots 13 & 14, Concession 11, and Part of the Road Allowance between Concessions 11 & 12, Township of North Dumfries.  

The Official Plan Amendment Application (File No. OPA -01/21) recognizes that the subject land have been designated “Urban Area” in the Township’s Official Plan. The proposed Amendment addresses the requirements of Policy 2.1.4 (c) of the Plan, which among other matters, proposes a hierarchy of residential and other land use designations, urban design, policies, open spaces and environmental and servicing as well as transportation policies. 

The general purpose of the proposed Official Plan Amendment is provide a land use planning framework to guide the detailed planning and development of the Westwood Village Phase 2 community that ensures the integration with the approved Phase 1 neighbourhood situated within the City of Cambridge located to the east, while respecting and protecting the Core Environmental Features associated with the adjacent Blair-Bechtel – Cruickston Environmental Sensitive Lands located to the north, west and south of the subject lands. The proposed Amendment considers the environmental framework of the Cambridge West Master Environmental Servicing Plan (MESP) and the planning that has previously occurred for the Westwood Village Phase 1development area. 

The two Plans of Subdivision Applications (File Nos. 30T-21301 & 30T-213020) are designed to establish the proposed lot and road fabric of the two development properties. The development will occur on the basis of full municipal services. 

Subdivision File No. 30T-21301 (Brian Domm) contemplates the creation of various lots/blocks that would establish a total of between 119 to 152 dwelling units, which would include:

• 114 to 134 single detached dwellings
• 0 to 12 townhouse/apartment dwelling units
• Three Park blocks are also proposed. The internal road network connects with the local road system proposed within the adjacent Hallman Construction Ltd. Lands.

Subdivision File No. 30T-21302 (Hallman Construction Ltd.) contemplates the creation of various lots/blocks that would establish a total of between 311 to 504 dwelling units, which would include:

• 200 to 242 single detached dwellings
• 52 to 77 townhouse dwellings
• 59 to 185 townhouse/apartment dwelling units 
  
  

A park block and wildlife corridor block are also proposed. The internal road network connects with Newman Drive, the mid-block neighbourhood north/south collector located within the Westwood Phase 1 area with the City of Cambridge.

Zoning By-law Amendment Application (File No. ZC-03/21) is proposed to implement the two Plan of subdivision proposals. The Zoning By-law Amendment will establish a hierarchy of residential zone classifications to recognize the various dwelling unit type, the open space corridors, and parkland blocks. The residential zone classifications will establish dwelling unit type, minimum lot frontage and land area requirements, building setback, building height, and similar regulatory requirements.
