The agenda included a motion regarding Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendments for 198 and 206 Plains Road East. Zoning By-law 2020.523 would rezone the lands at 198 and 206 Plains Road East from the existing RM1-346 and RM2-119 zones to a site-specific MXG-572 zone.

The agenda included a motion regarding Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendments for 1200 King Road and a confidential legal update on a litigation matter regarding 1200 King Road. The proposal was for a mixed use development consisting of a mixed-use node, entertainment node, campus node, and residential node at 1200 King Road. The report’s revised staff recommendation was to approve the applications, as modified by planning staff, for Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment submitted by Bousfields Inc. on behalf of Alinea for 1200 King Road. The purpose of the Official Plan Amendment was to establish a planning framework for the development of The King Road as a complete, integrated, inclusive and cohesive urban village, governing 49 hectares of vacant land identified for municipal purposes as 1200 King Road. The amendment included a new section to be inserted into the text of the Burlington Official Plan 2020 and new mapping to be added to the schedules of the Burlington Official Plan 2020, as described in the following table, and stated that minor variations to these targets would not require an Official Plan Amendment. It stated that modifications to the classification, location, and alignment of proposed streets shown on Schedule T: The King Road Community of this Plan might be permitted without amendment, provided that such modifications continued to meet the objective of delivering active transportation connections and City design standards were approved by the City and positive impacts on adjacent planned residential buildings. It stated that phased development of any lands in the King Road Community as shown on Schedule T: The King Road Community of this Plan would only be permitted once conformity to policy 77 (5) of the Burlington Regional Official Plan was demonstrated to the satisfaction of the City. The agenda included a by-law to amend Zoning By-law 2020, as amended, and to repeal Zoning By-law 4000-3 for 1200 King Road, and By-law 2020.524 permits the development of a mixed-use community in accordance with draft Official Amendment No. 9, as provided in Appendix D of staff report DGM-28-26. The amendment to Zoning By-law 09-2026 was approved.
