138 Robert Street East (PSSBP)

Status: The Zoning By-law Amendment application is currently under review for completeness and it is anticipated that a statutory public meeting will be scheduled for the next regular Council meeting on Wednesday, March 11, at 7:00 p.m.

Description of Proposed Development: 138 Robert Street East is currently subject to Official Plan Amendment (File No. OPA-2023-01), Zoning By-law Amendment (File No. ZA 3/2023), and Draft Plan of Subdivision (File No. PEN-SUB-2023-01) applications. The purpose of the new Zoning By-law Amendment application is to rezone a block within the proposed Draft Plan of Subdivision from the Rural (RU) zone to the Institutional (I) zone to permit a new elementary school. The new school would replace the existing Burkevale Elementary School at 39 Burke Street. The proposed Amendment includes a site-specific exception to permit a maximum building height of 9.5 metres (two storeys), whereas a maximum of 7.5 metres is permitted.

The proposed 4-acre school block is presently the subject of an executed agreement of purchase and sale and is planned to be acquired by PSSBP by May 2026 pending the successful completion of planning approvals. The block would be subject to a future Consent (severance) application to remove the block from the balance of the Draft Plan of Subdivision as well as a future Site Plan Approval application to manage the layout of the site.
