SOLD & FOR SALE SOLD & FOR SALE

This is a list of properties in the proximity of King GO Station that are already owned by the Developers. Some of the transactions were done privately, without reporting the actual sale price, but some prices were recorded at the Land Registry Office. For example, the properties at 12750 and 12734 Keele St (which are much smaller than 35 Station Rd) were recently sold for a much higher price per square foot. It is also worth noting that the Developers' activity became more aggressive after the approval of the Official Plan in 2019.

This is a list of properties available for sale in the proximity of King GO Station. The property at 12870 King St. consists of two fifty-foot-wide lots and is listed on MLS.

This designation within King City By-Laws provides the policies and guidelines for developing the Transit Station Area in King City, which is an area near the GO Station. The policies aim to promote intensification and higher density residential and mixed-use buildings that can take advantage of the proximity to the station. The primary land use will be residential, with a limited amount of commercial and other uses allowed. The policies also prioritize compatibility with the surrounding low-rise residential areas and the rail line, as well as pedestrian connectivity with the King City Village Core. The permitted uses in the Transit Station Area include mixeduse buildings, residential uses, commercial uses, offices, institutional uses, parking structures, public uses, rail infrastructure, and accessory uses. The policies will be subject to the determination of density requirements and a review of delineation and supportive policies through the York Region Official Plan Review. Upon completion of York Region's policy guidance, the Township will amend the plan to implement the required Major Transit Station Area and update density and other requirements accordingly. density in the area and allow for a higher maximum

As per my conversation with the planner from King City, LPAT appeal PL 170869 is trying to implement higher density in that area and allow for a higher maximum height rather than as suggested in the current official plan. The Province is of the opinion that such strategic areas as subject properties should be put to better use and allow more people to live within walking distance of major public transportation. Please keep in mind that both lots are not only within a 5-minute walk to the King City GO station but are also within a 7-minute walk to Keel St, which is perfect for bus transportation.
