Another large Barrie development flying under the radar, near Allandale GO. Key stats bolded by me:
"Innovative Planning Solutions Inc. on behalf of Tonlu Properties, are seeking to amend the current zoning for lands known municipally as 41 & 43 Essa Road and 259 & 273 Innisfil Street from from 'Light Industrial' (LI) and 'Central Area Commercial' (C1-1) to 'Transition Centre Commercial with Special Provisions' (C2-2)(SP-XXX) to facilitate the development of four (4) buildings at 20, 29, 35 and 37 storeys in height intended for 1,276 residential apartments with ground floor commercial along the Essa Road and Innisfil Street frontages. The special provisions include, but may not be limited to, reducing the commercial use requirement to 5%, increase in height, decreased setback from the railway, reduced side yard setbacks and removal of the general requirement to comply with the residential zoning provisions for apartment dwellings.
The project is a collection of properties located in the Allandale Neighbourhood, generally bounded by Innisfil Street, the BCRY railway and Essa Road, both west and east of Innisfil Street and southwest of the railway tracks."
