Minor Revision to Draft Plan of Subdivision - 41T-2016-02.46 and Zoning By-law Amendment - Z-2025-047 (Bluewater)

The purpose of the application is to facilitate the development of three apartment buildings with 245 residential units on Block 258 of the current Draft Approved Plan of Subdivision.

The purpose of this public meeting is to present the proposal to Council and to obtain feedback from Council and the community. At a later date, staff will present a recommendation report which will also address comments arising from this meeting.
