A previous Notice letter was mailed out to residents on July 17, 2018, detailing the application the City of Burlington received from GSP Group Inc. to re-designate and rezone the area at 1497, 1499, 1505 and 1511 Old Plains Road West as seen on the sketch.
The application is looking to allow a self-storage facility of five buildings for storage and one office building to be developed. The property is currently zoned North Aldershot Commercial, which allows small scale retail, service commercial and personal uses, and offices.
What is proposed for change:
The City’s Official Plan and Zoning By-law 2020 to allow self-storage facility uses and an increase in the floor area ratio on this site, but keeping the current and underlying North Aldershot Commercial designation and zone.
There is also a part of the site that includes lands the developer hopes to buy from the City.

No decisions about this application have been made yet. The staff report prepared for this public meeting does not include a recommendation, but a recommendation report will be presented to the Planning and Development Committee at a future date.
