Appendix F - City of Oshawa

Kedron Planning Area Retail Demand Analysis
3.0 Locations
The ideal locations for the retail development include:
• Conlin Road East at Harmony Road North – this will be a high traffic corridor connecting the
entire City of Oshawa from Highway 401 to Highway 407. There is extensive retail
development, in particular at Taunton Road East. A proposed development that may include
a supermarket anchor at the SE corner of Conlin Road East and Harmony Road North will
make this road a stronger draw for residents. As such, another development on the north
side of Conlin Road East would complement the existing and proposed retail and build
critical mass. There are several examples throughout North Oshawa where there are two
major grocery stores or supercentres co-located that provide critical mass. This site can
accommodate a significant proportion of the demand of approximately 60,000 to 70,000
square feet of retail.
Retail uses may include a grocery store anchor combined with banking/financial institution,
pharmacy, wine and spirits store, beer store, small specialty food store, dry cleaner;
professional services such as a lawyer or insurance agent, family restaurants, quick service
eateries, beauty salon, optometrist or other medical services, pet store, gift store; recreation
such as martial arts studio, apparel and accessories store, card store, or a game store.
• Conlin Road East at Ritson Road North – Ritson is not as strong of a regional road as
Harmony Road North or the proposed developments at Simcoe Road North and Winchester
Road. There is limited retail opportunity at this site on the NE corner. A smaller retail plaza
of approximately 30,000 to 40,000 square feet may be planned.
Retail uses may include a pharmacy, banking/financial institution, restaurant, quick service
eateries, dry cleaner, hair salon, medical services, pet store, sporting goods store, specialty
food store, or other small retailers.
• The remaining 60,000 square feet of retail space should be allocated elsewhere in the Kedron
Planning Area and, in particular, the mixed-use planned areas. This ensures there is
neighbourhood-serving retail within easy access of the residents throughout the Kedron
Planning Area. These mixed-use areas may include:
- Harmony Road North at the high density intersection of the Britannia Extension—Type
C (approximately 9,300 square feet)
- Harmony Road North at the high density intersection of the Interface Road—Type C
(approximately 34,000 square feet)
- The medium density intersection of Wilson Road North and the Britannia Extension—
Type C (approximately 9,300 square feet)
