Feedback needed on development application at 1900 Appleby Line in Burlington’s Ward 4
An application for a temporary use by-law has been submitted by IBI Group Inc. for a development at 1860, 1880 and 1900 Appleby Line in Ward 4 and the City is looking for your feedback.What is Proposed?The private land owner has applied for a temporary use by-law that would permit the existing retail and service commercial uses on the property a temporary period of time, not exceeding three years.The property is developed with an existing retail and service commercial plaza that includes restaurants and office, commercial and retail uses. IBI Group had received approval for these uses through a variance application in 2014, which required the development of a four-storey office building on the property within five years.The office building has not been constructed and the owner is requesting the temporary use by-law to allow the continued use of the property and to extend the timeframe for development of the office use.There are no changes being proposed to the existing buildings or uses. The by-law would allow the current uses to continue while the land owner plans for the development of additional office use on the site.Written Comments:No decisions have been made on this yet and City staff are asking for public feedback before they make a recommendation to the Planning and Development Committee for refusal or approval.Written comments can either be mailed or e-mailed to the planner assigned to this file Lauren Vraets at lauren.vraets@burlington.ca or:Department of City BuildingP.O.
