About the Proposed Development
Formerly 113 & 117 Bayfield Street and 6, 8 & 12 Sophia Street East
An August 16, 2023, staff report provides members of Council with information and a recommendation regarding the 115 Bayfield Development, in response to the applicants’ letter to Mayor Nuttall and CAO Prowse on July 12, 2023.
The purpose of the Zoning By‐law Amendment Application was to rezone the lands from Transitional Centre Commercial (C2‐1) to Residential Apartment Dwelling Second Density (RA2‐1) (SP‐XXX) with site-specific provisions, to permit the development of an eight storey apartment building that will contain 108 residential units.
The special zoning provisions requested by the applicant would permit a reduced parking ratio and permit limited tandem parking, permit reduced setbacks and an increased lot coverage and gross floor area, and permit a reduced landscape open space area and landscape buffer.
The development will result in the creation of 45 Affordable Housing Units, 27 of which are funded through the Community Improvement Plan, in support of the City of Barrie's Affordable Housing Strategy.
