187.74 hectares of Airport Lands Proposed to be Developed
(Airport Employment Lands)
File No: OPA 177 (OPA/7118) & Z-0027/23 (ZNG/7117)
The City of Windsor has initiated amendments to the Official Plan and zoning by-laws 85-18 and 8600 to permit employment uses on 187.74 hectares of land located within the vicinity of the Windsor International Airport. The application requests a change to Official Plan Schedule D: Land Use from ‘Future Employment Area,’ ‘Airport,’ and ‘Open Space’ to ‘Industrial’ and ‘Business Park.’
The application also requests removal of the subject lands from Zoning By-law 85-18, which are currently zoned Institutional (I), and the amendment of Zoning By-law 8600 to apply a Manufacturing District 2.2 (MD2.2) and Manufacturing District 1.4 (MD1.4) to Phase 1 and H-Manufacturing District 2.2 (HMD2.2) to Phase 2. (See Conceptual Development Plan.)
The requested amendments would permit a wide range of employment uses (e.g. industrial, warehouse, office, and service commercial). The proposed amendments would also establish a special policy area to address development constraints and requirements related to airport operations (e.g. building and structure height limits, stormwater management requirements for dry ponds, required consultation with Nav Canada, etc.).
The conceptual development plan is subject to change. The proposed development is subject to site plan control.
