The report contained a revised staff recommendation to approve the applications, as modified by planning staff, for an 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 for 1200 King Road was to establish a planning framework for the development of The King Road as a complete, integrated, inclusive and cohesive urban village. 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 a table. Bill 162 reinstated modifications made by the Minister to the Region’s Official Plan through the Minister’s decision on ROPA 49. It stated that minor variations to specified targets would not require an Official Plan Amendment and that phased development of lands in the King Road Community shown on Schedule T would only be permitted once conformity to policy 77 (5) of the Burlington Regional Official Plan was demonstrated to the satisfaction of the City.
