NORTH DUMFRIES –- Hallman Construction, Ltd. and Brian Domm Farms Ltd. have unveiled plans for a significant land development project adjacent to the Cambridge/North Dumfries municipal boundary.
Situated north of the Blenheim Road/Roseville Road corridor and east of Cruickston Creek, the proposed development aims to create a vibrant community in an area designated as Built-up Area and Urban Greenfield.
The subject lands, spanning Part of Lots 13 & 14, Concession 11, and Part of the Road Allowance Between Concessions 11 & 12, Township of North Dumfries, are currently zoned agricultural and are slated for rezoning and subdivision to accommodate between 430 to 656 residential units.
The project is divided into two components: the Brian Domm Farms Ltd. subdivision and the Hallman Construction Subdivision.
The Brian Domm Farms Ltd. subdivision proposes between 119 to 152 dwelling units, including 114 to 134 single detached dwellings and up to 12 townhouse/apartment units.
This phase also incorporates three park blocks to enhance community green space. The Hallman Construction Subdivision outlines plans for between 311 to 504 dwelling units, comprising 200 to 242 single detached dwellings, 52 to 77 townhouse dwellings, and 59 to 185 townhouse/apartment units.
Additionally, a park block and wildlife corridor block are proposed to enrich the development further.
A Zoning By-law Amendment is proposed to implement the subdivision proposals.
The amendment aims to establish residential zone classifications, recognize various dwelling unit types, delineate open space corridors and parkland blocks, and set regulatory requirements for minimum lot frontage, building setbacks, and building heights.
The proposed rezoning for the development includes Environmental Protection 1 (EP1) for naturalized buffers, Open Space (Z12) for central green areas and parkettes, and Urban Residential (Z.4d) for the remaining portions of the sites.
Specific portions of the site require adding special regulations to address factors such as setbacks, building heights, and amenity space.
The Official Plan Amendment aims to provide a planning framework for the Westwood Village Phase 2 community, ensuring integration with Phase 1 while safeguarding core environmental features. Additionally, the site is identified as being located within Special Policy Area 2.5.2 b) iv).
The proposed development, adjacent to the existing Westwood Village – Phase 1 in the City of Cambridge, marks an extension of the planned community.
The Hallman and Domm lands, with a combined area of 25.30 hectares (62.51 acres), will contribute to the expansion of residential offerings in the region.
Pending approval, this land development project promises to shape a thriving neighbourhood that harmonizes with existing urban and environmental contexts.
