Emshih Developments Inc. wants to build an 8-storey building with 275 homes at 800 Burloak Dr., with 967.02 square metres of shops or other non-residential space at street level.
To go ahead, the project needs changes to two sets of rules: the Official Plan, Burlington's long-term blueprint for where and how the city grows, and the Zoning By-law, which sets what can be built on each property and how big it can be.
The plan calls for 285 parking spaces. Cars would come and go through the existing driveway.
Among the studies filed with the application is a geotechnical report on a rail safety berm and retaining wall. A berm is a raised earth barrier that helps protect homes built near railway tracks.
It isn't the first proposal for the property: an earlier application is posted on a separate City page under Emshih Developments - Prince William Drive. Michael Barton of MB1 Development Consulting Inc. represents the developer.
The City lists the application as under review. No public meeting on the proposal has been scheduled yet.
