Modified Secondary Planning Public Consultation Process
The process is now complete and a community option has been chosen. This option will be incorporated into the staff report to Economic Development and Planning Committee and will reflect the community’s position regarding the redevelopment of the brow lands.

Proposal:
Based on past meetings held by the developer, the lands are proposed to be developed for medium to high density residential purposes. City staff wish to advise that formal applications for amendments to the Official Plan and Zoning By-law have been received. The following studies have been submitted in support of the applications:

Location:

Functional Servicing study (water/wastewater)
Stormwater Management Plan
Heritage Impact Assessment
Archaeological Study
Environmental Impact Statement
Traffic Impact Study
Planning Justification Report
Urban Design Guidelines

Process:
The City of Hamilton is leading a modified secondary planning public consultation process. The consultation process will include 4 meetings open to the public with the goal of determining the community’s preferred development option for the subject area. This community option would then be considered in the evaluation of the development applications for the subject area.
