Applicant:  1000444419 Ontario Inc - Sullnet Holdings Inc

Agent:  Vanessa Simpson, MORGAN Planning & Development

Application No.:  D14-954

Subject Property:  116 and 120 Bond Street

This meeting may be attended either in person at the Council Chambers, Orillia City Centre, 50 Andrew Street South, Orillia or electronically as set out later in this Notice.

The subject lands are designated “Stable Neighbourhood – Living Area” in the City’s Official Plan and is currently zoned under the City’s Zoning By-law 2014-44, as amended as follows:

Purpose and Effect:
The purpose and effect of the proposed Zoning By-law Amendment is to rezone 120 Bond Street from the “Residential Two” (R2) zone to the “Residential Four Exception Twenty-Six” (R4-26) zone to permit Stacked Townhouse Dwellings with reduced Lot Area per unit and to add the existing reduced parking requirements afforded to 116 Bond Street to 120 Bond Street as well. 

Proposal:
The applicant is proposing a comprehensive residential development on the lands municipally known as 116 and 120 Bond Street. The proposal is for a total of 34 stacked townhouse dwelling units to be developed in four (4) blocks (and in 2 phases) with a total of 43 parking spaces, including nine (9) visitor parking spaces.

In Fall 2025, Council approved a Zoning By-law Amendment for 116 Bond Street (Phase 1) to permit 18 stacked townhouse units with reduced parking requirements. Since that time, 116 and 120 Bond Street have been consolidated into one property, and it is appropriate to request similar land use permission for the proposed Phase 2 portion of the land (120 Bond Street).

Related applications:
At this time, there are no related applications under the Planning Act in process which apply to the subject property.
