LONDON — At 30 and 100 Villagewalk Boulevard, Cridon Investments Ltd, the developer for the project, has proposed developing three 9-storey apartment buildings.
Two apartment buildings with 202 and 213 units are proposed for the land at 100 Villagewalk Boulevard and one at 30 Villagewalk Boulevard with 256 units. Information on unit sizes or bedrooms has yet to be provided.
The application proposed to the city of London’s planning department conforms with the Ocial Plan of London, and the city has already approved minor variances, which permit increased lot coverage and minor setbacks for both properties.
The lands are currently zoned Holding Residential (R9) special provision. The current zoning allows for a maximum height of 12 storeys and a density of 300 units per hectare. Both properties comply with these regulations.
Located in the Upper Richmond Village subdivision and the Sunningdale planning district, the subjects are 2.25 hectares of land in total and currently vacant land.
Neither property is within London’s ‘built-up area’ nor a ‘primary transit area.’
The applicant proposes underground parking areas for all three buildings. For 30 Villagewalk Boulevard, 315 underground and 14 surface spaces have been proposed, along with 229 indoor bicycle spaces and 45 outdoor spaces.
For 100 Villagewalk Boulevard, 440 underground and 28 surface parking spaces have been proposed, along with 374 indoor bicycle spaces and 63 outdoor spaces for both buildings.
The subject lands are in the “Multi-Family, High-Density Residential” designation. City sta have reviewed the proposal and believe this site plan application conforms to the area plan policies.
City sta also believe the proposed site plan complies with the Z.-1 Zoning By-law. Besides the minor variances that have been approved, the proposal conforms with all other policies.
A separate application to remove the holding provisions will need to be submitted. Approval from the Upper Thames River Conservation Authority (UTRCA) is a requirement before the proposal’s final approval.
A public meeting was held on October 23, 2023, to inform the community of the updated proposal and allow a chance to ask questions.
