I was a bit premature thinking the subdivision plans were approved...well despite approval from city staff, councillors in Pickering have narrowly rejected the plans that I thought were approved (sadly, I am not an expert with City Hall procedures).
City staff noted while the application met the Duffin Heights neighbourhood development guidelines, it was felt it was more innovative before Mattamy revised it. But ultimately, staff suggested council accept it since it was accessible and pedestrian-oriented and will allow for development that "meets the intent of the City's sustainable development guidelines."
How long will it take Mattamy to re-do its plans? Who knows...maybe another year.
