Discretionary Use Application – Parcel Y (Proposed Mixed-Use Development)
Overview
The Town of White City has received a Discretionary Use Application for Parcel Y, Plan 102056093 Ext 1, located in the northeast portion of Town near the intersection of Highway 1 and Highway 48, along Gregory Avenue East.
The parcel is currently zoned Highway Commercial/Industrial (HCI). The proposed mixed-use development application includes discretionary components and therefore requires Council's decision to deny or approve the application.
- If a proposed development includes a discretionary use, Council is required under The Planning and Development Act, 2007 to review and make a decision on the application. Council cannot decline to consider a discretionary use once a complete application has been submitted.
- In accordance with provincial and municipal regulations, the Town must consider any discretionary use application it receives. This requirement does not indicate Council’s support or opposition to the proposal — it simply ensures that the application is reviewed in a fair, transparent, and legislated manner.
The proposed mixed-use development on Parcel Y includes discretionary components and therefore requires Council’s formal decision—either to approve (with or without conditions) or to refuse the application after completing the review and public consultation process.
Council will consider the application at the Regular Council Meeting on:
Monday, November 10, 2025
White City Council Chambers
14 Ramm Avenue East
Should you wish to comment on the proposed application, please forward your comments in writing to the Town of White City Municipal Office or to townoffice@whitecity.ca no later than 2:00pm on November 10, 2025.
