A total of 118 residential units is proposed, consisting of 74 apartment units within the former hospital building, 12 back-to-back stacked townhouse units (Harriet Street), and 32 back-to-back townhouse units (Jeffery Street).

    The purpose of the proposed Official Plan Amendment is to remove the Future Study Area policy overlay from 25 Jeffery Street (former Penetanguishene General Hospital). This overlay requires that a number of studies or other requirements be met prior to development. The removal of the policy overlay would enable the development of the lands. Note that the County of Simcoe is the approval authority for Official Plan Amendments in the Town of Penetanguishene.

    The purpose of the proposed Zoning By-law Amendment is to rezone the lands from the Institutional (I) zone to the Residential Three Special Provision (R3-X) zone. The Amendment would establish site-specific zoning standards including minimum lot frontage, minimum lot area, minimum front yard, minimum side yard, maximum lot coverage, and other technical standards to facilitate the proposed development.
