Guelph Innovation District Block Plans 1 and 2

Council decision allows time for applicant to gather necessary information on proposed Guelph Innovation District development

Council has deferred a planning application for Blocks 1 and 2 of the Guelph Innovation District to allow more time for the applicant to gather additional information related to land-use compatibility between proposed housing and nearby industries.

Council emphasized the importance of staff, the applicant and nearby industries working collaboratively to address land-use compatibility matters as quickly as possible. The additional information will help determine what mitigation measures may be needed to reduce potential impacts associated with the proposed housing’s proximity to existing industries.
