This will ensure a better planning of one\u2019s property space as the 1 meter setback creates in most cases an unused space, or space used for storage of various items that might create visual pollution, between the garage and the property line.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Addressing the setback on properties adjacent to the main train tracks that hinder the possibility of development projects.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>These proposals are in line with similar ones approved by the City of Montreal and other municipalities including Cote St. Luc and Hampstead. The proposed modifications would eliminate the 30 meter setback if certain other landscaping conditions were met, such as the installation of berms, fences, sound walls, and trenches to attenuate the impact of the train tracks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Allow for the possibility of residential development projects on zones that are now zoned only commercial, industrial and public, specifically.<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Zone CL-2 (Commercial &#8211; retail &#8211; zone in Avon and Milton area) would now permit multi-family (i.e. apartments, condominiums) and group homes.
