A public meeting for the more than 200 homes planned for the former York Regional Police union property on Stonehaven Avenue in Newmarket is scheduled for Tuesday, Oct. 13.
Marianneville Stonehaven Limited — the same developer who built the subdivision on the former Glenway golf course in Newmarket — is seeking an amendment to the official plan and rezoning to build 60 single-detached houses and 142 townhouses on about half of the 40-acre property at 600 Stonehaven Ave., east of Bayview Avenue.
The remainder of the lands are protected from development as they are on floodplains and wetland.
The York Regional Police Association sold the property, which includes a new clubhouse built in 2000 and sports fields, as it is relocating to Aurora, closer to the YRP headquarters on Don Hillock Drive.
The electronic public meeting will be livestreamed on newmarket.ca/meetings on Tuesday, Oct. 13 at 1 p.m. The video will also be made available after the meeting and archived on the town’s website.
You can find out more information about the application and view the site plan in full size on the town’s website under current applications for Ward 1 or send an email to [email protected].
Council will not be making a final decision regarding these applications, but will refer all written and verbal comments to planning staff to consider and return with a report to a future committee of the whole or council meeting.
