LONDON — Auburn Developments Inc., on behalf of Colonel Talbot Developments Inc., has submitted a revised application for a draft plan of subdivision and Zoning By-law Amendment for 3849 Campbell Street North. The updated proposal incorporates changes to road layouts and increased environmental buffers to address community and ecological concerns.
Development Highlights
The proposed subdivision plan includes:
- Housing Types:
- 207 cluster townhouse units in a multi-family residential block.
- Approximately 375 total dwelling units, including 350 apartment units and 25 cluster townhouse units.
- Public Road Access: A revised Savoy Street extension, now terminating in a cul-de-sac, and a planned future extension of Hayward Drive.
- Environmental Buffers: A 10-metre buffer zone to protect adjacent woodland.
Requested Zoning Changes
The subject property is currently zoned Urban Reserve (UR4). The proposed amendments aim to accommodate diverse housing forms and increased density:
- Residential R5-5(*) Zone:
- Cluster and stacked townhouses.
- Maximum density: 60 units per hectare.
- Maximum height: 15 metres.
- Residential R6-5(*) Zone:
- Single-detached, semi-detached, townhouses, and apartments.
- Maximum density: 60 units per hectare.
- Maximum height: 15 metres.
- Residential R8-4(*)/H32/D100 Zone:
- Higher-density options, including apartments and stacked townhouses.
- Maximum density: 100 units per hectare.
- Maximum height: 32 metres.
- Residential R9-3(*)/H32/D100 Zone:
- High-density residential uses with the same density and height limits as R8-4(*).
These zoning changes align with The London Plan and the Southwest Area Secondary Plan, supporting medium- to high-density residential development with building heights of up to 32 metres.
Environmental and Planning Considerations
The revised plan includes:
- A 10-metre woodland buffer to minimize environmental impact.
- Review of municipal service adequacy and noise mitigation measures.
- Evaluation of land use compatibility with the surrounding area.
An Environmental Impact Study has been conducted to guide sustainable development practices and address potential ecological concerns.
Planning and Approval Process
The proposal will be reviewed by the City’s Planning and Environment Committee. If approved, the development will:
- Introduce a mix of housing options to the area.
- Support London’s intensification goals outlined in The London Plan and the Southwest Area Secondary Plan.
The revised design balances the need for increased housing density with environmental and community considerations, creating a sustainable and diverse residential neighborhood
