2155 Millcroft Green Application Resubmission
Dear Resident,
Just before my April Newsletter went out I was notified by Millcroft Greens that they had made an application resubmission to the City planning department. Details were not available until Planning staff had a chance to review the resubmission. The resubmission documents have now been posted on the City’s project webpage at Millcroft Greens, 2155 Country Club Dr.
It is typical for there to be at least one set of revisions or more, as City staff continue to review and assess a proposal.
When the subject applications were originally submitted to the City, the applications were circulated to internal departments, external agencies and the public for review and comment. All stakeholders are asked to share comments and identify if any additional information may be required from the applicants. In addition, these applications were brought to the City’s Community Planning, Regulation and Mobility Committee (CPRM) for a Statutory Public Meeting on March 2, 2021 to solicit feedback from the public and Committee members.
Following the statutory public meeting and receipt of comments, the applicants have endeavoured to make refinements to their development applications to respond to the public and technical comments. In addition, planning staff met with the applicants to discuss technical issues and comments received. The applicants have submitted a revised proposal in an effort to address the concerns and technical issues identified. This is where we are currently at in the process and we will continue to review and assess the revised submission.
The planner will continue to listen to and assess every comment and land use impact through changes to the plans and/or discussion in the final report and recommendations to Council. The City planner will eventually prepare a recommendation report which contains an independent, professional opinion about whether to approve, modify or refuse the development applications. At this point, timing for a future recommendation report is unclear as we continue to review and assess the revised submission.
