Map No. Chief Executive’s Response & Recommendation
of an enhanced mix of housing type and tenure in the North-west City
Recommendation: No change.
The proposed rezoning of lands to the north of the Apple Campus in Hollyhill allowing for further expansion of the established employment lands in the northwest of the city is welcomed. However, these lands (existing and proposed) should be rezoned from “Z O 10 Light Industry and Related Uses” to “ZO 11 Business and Technology” as this objective will better foster continued growth at Hollyhill.

The Draft Plan’s employment and economic strategy informs the scale and location of strategically important lands at different locations throughout the city. It is considered that the proposed rezoning would accurately reflect the existing, evolving use of the Apple campus and provide for expansion of the campus and / or complementary related industries. Recommendation: Change zoning of Apple Campus and lands to the north from “ZO 10 Light Industry and Related Uses” to “ZO 11 Business and Technology” . This site is currently zoned “ZO 18 Landscape Preservation Zone”, and this is proposed to continue in the Draft Plan. This is an elevated, prominent and sensitive site and the proposed rezoning would conflict with the City’s landscape strategy. Recommendation: No change. Site is zoned as ZO 18 Landscape Preservation Zones to protect the existing natural features and the River Bride that are in place. The NE 3 site specific objective seeks ‘to re-establish the river as a key element of the valley floor by providing a linear park with publicly accessible riverside walk with new tree coverage and linked spaces ’ . The partial removal of this zoning for a portion of the site to be zoned for residential development would result in the further erosion of natural open space areas in this part of the city.
Proposed rezoning of lands at the Commons Ridge from “ZO 18 Landscape Preservation Zones” to “ ZO 2 New Residential Neighbourhoods ”.
