About the site
The site sits between Taylor Creek Drive and Trim Road in the Orléans Corridor Secondary Plan area, which the City has targeted for compact, transit-oriented growth. Its generous frontage and depth allow a large building footprint, and the land could be split into up to four conforming lots, with more possible through a minor variance. A private road could serve new development behind the existing building.
Permitted uses
The INZ zone permits a retirement home, residential care facility, medical facility, school, recreation and athletic facility, community centre, place of worship, day care and library. Residential units, a theatre, a market and small-scale retail are also allowed alongside a permitted primary use, with no cap on the number of dwelling units, subject to the zoning provisions.
The existing building
The one-storey building was built as an elementary school and is now used as a place of worship. It has a gymnasium, five classrooms, a library, offices and change rooms, so it can be used in the interim, converted or removed.
