There will be a public on Thursday, September 18, 2025 at the Burnhamthorpe Community Centre at 7pm.

Dear Resident,

I have arranged a Community Meeting on Thursday September 18, 2025 at 7 pm at Burnhamthorpe Community Centre (Fleetwood Village Room) – 1500 Gulleden Drive. The purpose of this meeting is to discuss a proposal located at 3150 and 3170 Golden Orchard Drive by Azuria Group Inc. The site is currently developed with two (2) ‘purpose built’ rental apartment buildings (14 and 16 Storeys, 238 units). The applicant proposes redevelop portions of the site with two (2) additional ‘purpose built’ rental apartment buildings (12 and 24 storeys, 480 units). Vehicular access will be provided by Golden Drive Orchard Drive. Vehicular parking will be provided in a combination of above and below grade parking structures.

I think I like this proposal, but the official city plan for this area says new buildings on this site should be no more than 7 storeys, among other restrictions.
16.2.4.11.1 The lands identified as Special Site 11 are located on the southwest corner of Golden Orchard Drive and Dixie Road.
16.2.4.11.2 Notwithstanding the provisions of the Residential High Density designation, apartment dwellings are permitted subject to the following additional policies:
  1. development will be restricted to apartment dwellings to a maximum of 328 units;
  2. the maximum density will be 134 units per hectare; and
  3. the maximum building height of new development will be seven storeys.
16.2.4.11.3 Townhouse development may be permitted subject to a rezoning application that addresses, among other matters, the location, number and design of units.
16.2.4.11.4 In addition to the other applicable policies, the site will incorporate the following design guidelines:

1. Built Form - the perceived building scale of all new construction will be minimized, by incorporating the top level of apartment units within a gable roof form with dormer window accents;​
  1. Site Layout - a landscaped forecourt will be provided at principal building entrances incorporating a vehicular drop-off, visitor parking and pedestrian areas;
  2. Architectural Integration - architectural details and materials of all new construction must complement the character of existing buildings on the site; and
  3. Landscaping - extensive landscape buffering will be provided along the westerly and northerly streetlines, in combination with a decorative fence. A 1.8m high privacy fence will be erected to provide privacy for the single family dwelling with a common property line to the west.
