In 2018, Zoning By-law Amendment and draft plan of subdivision applications were received from Condor Properties Ltd. to build the first development block (Phase 1A) within the west Precinct area of the Langstaff Gateway community. The latter is the 47-hectare (116 acre) area of land bounded by Yonge in the west, Bayview in the east, Holy Cross Catholic Cemetery in the south and Highway 407 in the north. For development planning purposes, the area is divided into three precincts: west, central and east.
Applications for Zoning By-law Amendment and Draft Plan of Subdivision submitted by Condor to permit two residential towers of 50 and 45 storeys connected by a 10-storey podium at what is currently 25, 11, 9 and 5 Langstaff Road East were approved, with conditions, by Markham Council in February.
An application for an Official Plan Amendment has been submitted by Walker, Nott, Dragicevic Associates on behalf of 10 Ruggles Ave. Development Inc. The owner is proposing to amend the Official Plan to re-designate the creek valley from “Environmental Protection Area – Valleylands” to “Parks & Open Space” to enable the owner to channelize and cover Pomona Mills Creek. The owner proposes to use the covered creek as additional open space adjacent to Pomona Mills Creek Park. This would form a continuous public open space and park combination on the east side of the 50 and 45 storey buildings to be developed by Condor.
