About the planning application
175 Stone Road West, File: SP26-021 – Ward 5
The existing Walmart store and parking lot (herein referred to as the subject property) is located north of Stone Road West, south and east of the properties with driveway access to Chancellors Way (including the adjacent apartment building), east of Edinburgh Road and the adjacent retail plaza, and west of the Best Buy & Canadian Tire retail stores. An accessory outdoor storage area is being proposed within the northwest corner of the subject property, next to the existing loading area and within the west interior side yard.
The Subject Lands are designated Mixed-Use Corridor 1 in the City’s Official Plan, and it is located within the MUC-3(PA)(H12) precinct in the City’s CPP By-law. The subject lands are within the Community Planning Permit (‘CPP’) System for the Stone Road and Edinburgh Road area and within the ‘Strategic Growth Area’ of the Official Plan.
The Applicant has submitted a Class-2 CPP application to facilitate the proposed development of an accessory outdoor storage area for cardboard bales and empty pallets in the existing Walmart parking lot. The storage area is 13.9m x 12.9m in size with a proposed 2.4m high chain link fence. It is located near the rear lot line and west side lot line of the property. It is located east of the pedestrian walkway separating the area from the residential apartment property and located west of the existing Walmart building. The area is currently used for parking spaces.
The proposed outdoor storage area would be located within the existing development footprint, and it would be located on top of a portion of the existing parking lot. Therefore, no changes to grading or surface treatment are being proposed. The proposed outdoor storage area would result in a reduction of 7 parking spaces, not impacting the minimum parking requirements for Walmart.
For the proposed Class-2 CPP application, a public or council decision meeting is not required. If you wish to, you can provide your comments as noted below.
