iii)         internal driveways or local street connections should be established perpendicular to Wonderland Road South and Exeter Road for the full width of the development blocks, including through future mixed-use phases, to reinforce the organizing grid structure;

v)         commercial development shall occur in a “main street” format where retail and commercial uses are oriented toward the street, whether in standalone buildings or on the ground floor of mixed-use buildings to enhance and animate the pedestrian experience; vi)        ensure that continuous walkways are constructed between buildings as well as direct walkways connecting buildings to the sidewalk to provide for continuous pedestrian connections across the site;

iv)       the requested amendment includes special regulations which would allow for 4-storey residential housing forms whereas the Wonderland Road Community Enterprise Corridor Designation policies outlined in Section 20.5.6.1 vii) state that building heights for residential development shall not be less than 6 storeys;   d)         pursuant to Section 34(17) of the Planning Act, as determined by the Municipal Council, no further notice BE GIVEN in respect of the proposed by-law as the prescribed notification requirements have previously been met, a statutory public participation meeting was held on July 22, 2014, and no changes to the by-law have been proposed;
