Current Development Projects

The Deerhurst Resort is proposing an expansion on a portion of the lands known as the Deerhurst Village Centre - Plateau (the "Plateau"). Previous planning approvals granted by the Town of Huntsville and District of Muskoka for the Plateau include an application to amend the Town of Huntsville Official Plan to implement the Deerhurst Resort Village Secondary Plan, a Zoning By-law Amendment Application, and a Draft Plan of Subdivision Application. The owner proposes a refreshed vision for the Plateau site that includes a recreational resort residential development consisting of 447 recreational resort residential units in two (2) buildings connected via a shared entranceway and supportive commercial uses, including a restaurant, retail space, and a pool. The buildings will operate as a hotel, with owners able to participate in a tourist commercial accommodation rental program operated by the Deerhurst Resort. This proposed development is being referred to as the Deerhurst Modern concept.

OPA#2 Application has been made for an amendment to the Town Official Plan to permit the proposed Deerhurst Modern development concept on the Plateau site.

Z/28/2022/HTE Application has also been made for a Zoning By-law Amendment to permit this proposed development.

A revised application has been submitted to permit the construction of a four-storey multiple dwelling development known as 20 Cairns Crescent.

The site is located on Cairns Crescent and Kitchen Road South and is 2.1 hectares in area.

The original application was submitted in September 2024. In response to comments received, the proposal has been updated. The second submission aims to address critical comments without impacting on the overall development proposal as a four-storey housing development with affordable potential.

Key revisions include:

• Building relocated - the building has been shifted westward to allow for a wider landscaped area along the east side of the linear driveway from Cairns Crescent.
• Improved setbacks - where the building is closest to an existing single-detached dwelling a portion of the building has been cut back, enhancing the separation between the mid-rise building and the adjacent low-rise home.
• Enhanced parking - to better accommodate larger vehicles 20 percent of all parking spaces have been widened to a minimum width of 3 metres.
• Reduced unit count - total unit counts have been revised from 184 units to 176 units.
• Landscaping element  - landscaping has been added around and in front of the loading space to provide a visual and vegetative buffer.

The development is within the Urban Residential - High (UR3) precinct which generally applies to high density residential uses including low and mid-rise apartments.

CPP/124/2024/HTE application has been made to permit this proposed development.
