File Number: OPA-01-2025 and ZBL-03-2025

Owner/Applicant: Ricardo/EFI Engineering

Legal Address: Part of Southwest half of Lot 27, Concession 10, geographic Township of North Elmsley now within the Town of Perth

Municipal Address: 2000 Rogers Road, Perth ON

Location and Description of Property: The subject property is approximately 3.95 ha with a 6822.8m2 existing industrial building. The property is located in the southern employment area of the Town of Perth. To the north lies open space lands, to the east is an established residential neighbourhood, and to the south and west lies industrial and employment zoned lands.

Purpose and Intent of the Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment: The proposed amendments to the Official Plan and Zoning By-law are to prepare for the adaptive reuse of an existing 6822.8 m2 industrial building into a mixed-use business park.  The proposed development introduces a combination of employment, commercial, and community serving uses, including professional and administrative offices, personal service establishments, wellness facilities, indoor storage, café/snack bar, and a flexible use market square for seasonal programing.

The purpose of the Official Plan Amendment is to re-designate the property from its existing Industrial Designation to Business Park to allow for the proposed uses.

The purpose of the Zoning By-law Amendment is to re zone the property from M1-2 to C5-X to allow the proposed uses. A site-specific zoning amendment has been requested in order to increase the gross floor area for business and professional offices from 828 m2 to 3944 m2.
