The Complete Application For 6461-6487 Main Street

 The purpose of this webpage is to keep concerned residents updated on this development application and to share information.  We are currently seeking clarification from the Town on a number of issues and will use this webpage to update interested parties. 

There has been a recent development application for the redevelopment of four existing residential properties in the community core located on the south side of Main Street between Park Drive and Pine Street (6461 to 6487 Main Street) which are directly across from St James church.  

• How will this development affect our entire community?
• What type of precedent will this set for future development in Stouffville?
• How will this development impact traffic on Main Street?

 The developer has submitted a site plan application for 106 contemporary design “stacked townhouse” units within six “stacked townhouse” blocks. The proposal includes an underground parking garage that will occupy the majority of the building site, and a stacked townhouse design that includes a raised basement level, three above ground floors, plus a roof top utility room and roof top patio.  

The builder is seeking amendments to the Town’s Official plan and changes to the Town’s current zoning on the following points:

• to permit stacked townhouse developments, plus additional intensification beyond the allowable zoning to build more than double what would be allowable within the higher density “stacked townhouse” zoning.
• to allow for maximum building heights of 13.5 metres which would result in structures that would tower over the adjacent residential uses. 
• to secure parking exemptions to allow them to provide fewer spaces than required by Town’s Parking By-Law because they are unable to fit the required number of spaces for the proposed number of units on the site. 

The RED area shows where the developer wants to put 106 homes. The YELLOW area shows 106 homes currently in place. Does that suit this neighbourhood?
