The recommended extension would also provide time for completion of the subdivision application required to register the proposed development agreement. This extension would have no impact on the development rights held within the agreement, and the agreement could be executed in a shorter period of time if the situation permits. Mix of Residential Uses A maximum of 374 residential units is enabled under the Open Space Design policies. Residential units are generally clustered on common condominium parcels to maximise retention of open space ...
