Purpose and Effect of Z03-2025 (Zoning Application) The lands are currently zoned ‘Special Highway Commercial (HC-16-H) Zone’ in the Municipality of Brighton Comprehensive Zoning By-law 140-2002, as amended. The site is currently vacant but was previously contemplated for large-scale commercial uses which resulted in the site-specific zoning. The purpose of the subject application is to amend the Zoning By-law in order to allow for the maximum height of a Hotel to be 22.5 metres (from established finished grade) on the subject lands. The Zoning By-law currently allows for the Hotel use, but the Highway Commercial Zone only permits a maximum height of 12 metres. The proponent has also applied to the Municipality for Site Plan Approval (File No. SP01-2025) of a ‘TRU Hilton Hotel’ on the subject lands. For more information about this matter contact the Municipality of Brighton and refer to File No. Z03-2025. Further, more-in-depth development of the balance of the subject lands will require separate Planning Act applications and will be subject to separate Public Meetings and decisions from Council at that time.
