Tiffany Developments plans large residential building at Juliana and Alberta
If all the world is a stage, there will be a one-time-only production of Woodstock August 8 Planning Meeting at City Council chambers on Monday, Aug. 8. Admission is free and you can attend.
The climax or the crescendo on the 3-act agenda will be an Alberta / Juliana discussion and it is the 3rd (or last) agenda item.
Monday's 7 p.m. show -- starring Woodstock City Council members, the planner from Oxford County, and participating developers -- also includes a proposal for a severance on Devonshire and another on Spencer. In both those cases, a hopeful retained lot will continue to include a single-family residence, while in each case the owners hope to sever off a lot to build another house. In recent years, there have been many examples of similar in-fill or minor intensification presentations that have passed.
By the way, the Monday planning meetings never include motions as these items will appear again on the Thursday, Aug. 11 City Council agenda at 1:30 p.m.
If you are intrigued by such debates, attend the Monday planning meeting for the full depiction.
If you are against a proposed idea, you should attend. If you simply want to make comment or ask a question, you should attend and be prepared to approach the podium with your position on the planning item.
A link to the full agenda is here:

Yes, up until now I have teased the readers as the most significant agenda piece on Monday is a planned 12-storey apartment building on the triangle parcel inside Alberta and Juliana, and directly east of the Cedarview Retirement Home.
Long-time Woodstock developer Tiffany Developments is proposing up to 142 apartment dwelling units in a structure to include underground parking and above-ground parking. It's an attractive picture (See below) with many intriguing concepts. Interested parties should read the agenda and understand Woodstock is most certainly in need of additional residential units in all styles -- single-family homes, townhouse condos, apartments, etc.
In a future writing and in an attempt to discuss my thoughts on the election issue of intensification versus boundary adjustments, versus additional residential units (basement apartments in R1 zoning areas), versus building up and not out, versus utilizing all available vacant resident land (such at this plan), versus the province's More Homes For Everyone Act, and developing brand new on brownfields (Former schools and commercial properties, etc).
In the meantime, here are maps that have appeared at City Council already pertaining to 3 subdivisions (phases) north of Pittock, and also the preliminary introduction of the subdivision in the former SouthWest Oxford lands north of Bower Hill Road and west of Canrobert.
On Oct. 24, vote for (re-elect):
