• Parcel Abstract 

A Plan of Subdivision, Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment application were submitted in 2018 by Teromi Inc. and Alyange Holdings Inc. on lands legally described as Part of Lot 26, Concession 11 and known municipally as 3275 25 Sideroad.  A 231 unit residential subdivision consisting of 79 single-detached dwellings, 18 semi-detached dwellings, 13 townhouses and 121 apartments, a commercial block, public park and stormwater management pond is proposed.  A Public Meeting was held on September 19, 2018.  See Staff Report DSR-139-18 for more details.  

Subsequent to the comments heard at the Public Meeting, the applicant proposed a land exchange with the Town of Innisfil intended to preserve a large swath of lands in the southernmost portion of the proposed development in exchange for development rights on undeveloped Town-owned lands zoned as open space.  Staff Report DSR-144-19 has more details.  This Staff Report was considered by Council on September 25, 2019, and was deferred to a future date as more information from the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority (LSRCA) was requested about both parcels of the land exchange.  Ultimately the land exchange was rejected for reasons described in Staff Report DSR-180-21.  

The applicant is working to respond to LSRCA comments and requirements at this time, including confirming any natural heritage features and functions on the lands.  Once the LSRCA and Town Staff are satisfied with submitted responses by the applicant, Staff will prepare a Staff Report to Council with further recommendations on proposed directions for development, as described in DSR-180-21.  Notification of any future Staff Report will be provided to all who wrote/spoke or signed the guestbook at the previous Public Meeting, or otherwise requested notification, as well as those who reach out through the Town’s getinvolvedinnisfil.ca website.

Official Plan Amendment (D09-2021-004) and Zoning By-law Amendment (D14-2021-022) applications have been received to apply a site-specific Agricultural Area policy on the subject lands (2241 and 2229 Innisfil Beach Road and 7352 Yonge Street) to permit commercial uses that serve the traveling public. The Zoning By-law Amendment application seeks to rezone the properties at 2241 and 2229 Innisfil Beach Road from "Residential 1 (R1)" Zone to "Commercial Highway Exception Holding (CH-9(H))" Zone to facilitate the expansion of the adjacent commercial highway uses to permit the below uses. The Holding (H) provision can be lifted once sewer and water capacity is confirmed, Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority (LSRCA) requirements are met, and a Site Plan Agreement is executed.

• Motor Vehicle Service Station;
• Motor Vehicle Gas Bar;
• Motor Vehicle Repair Garage;
• Restaurant;
• Restaurant, Take Out;
• Drive-Through Facility, Accessory to a Restaurant;
• Accessory Convenience Store;
• Accessory Motor Vehicle Washing Establishment; and,
• Accessory Service and Repair Establishment provided not more than 15% of the lot area is used for outside display and storage purposes.

The property at 7352 Yonge Street is currently split-zoned CH-8 and CH-9(H). The application proposes to consolidate these two zones into one revised CH-8(H) Zone to permit the above uses (which are currently permitted uses on the property, save and except for the drive-through facility accessory to a restaurant). The CH-8(H) proposes to include a Holding Provision for the execution of a Site Plan Agreement.
