Citizens for Managed Development at Loafers Lake (CfMDaLL) Pages

A Task Force interested in the High-Rise Development Project in Heartlake 

Page 4

What is the reasoning for this kind of development here?

The Heart Lake Community is in a mature state with 98% of the area developed (only 4.45 hectares or 11 acres available for residential development) * City of Brampton March 2005 Density Tracking Report
No residential lands located immediately abutting the site
Proposed development is an infill project (one that has the ability to avail itself of existing services and facilities which are currently available in the area). 
Brampton Official Plan specifies Brampton as an Urban Place.  Section 4.1.1  allows for Density & Mix and Intensification of land use.  This site is located in the “High Density” Residential Density Category under Section 4.1.1.2. 
Seems to comply with the criteria outlined in Section 4.1.1.6 of Official Plan
Builder wants to maximize Return On Investment (ROI)

What is the current status of the Application/Proposal?

Developer has already filed revised site plan with City and is asking for current Zoning By-Law to be amended (adjustments on standards and land use permissions).

In addition to a completing a comprehensive Preliminary Planning Justification Report and Design Plans, they have also prepared assessments and studies that are required.  Some of these include an Environmental Impact Study (EIS), Traffic, Shadow, and School Studies.

All studies were completed and Application submitted (City File: C01E14.024) in August.  

Official Public Notice appeared in August 10th Brampton Guardian.  Application is currently under review by City and plan will either be approved, subjected to changes or rejected (Fall 2007).

If City rejects Application, the Developer will have right to “appeal” to Ontario Municipal Board (3-12 month wait) or present another proposal.
