LONDON — Auburn Developments Inc., on behalf of Colonel Talbot Developments Inc., has submitted a proposal for a residential subdivision at 3849 Campbell Street North.
The proposed development, located on a 4.426-hectare site, includes the creation of one medium-density residential block with a total of 207 cluster townhouse units.
The subdivision will be served by a new public road, an extension of Savoy Street, and a future extension of Hayward Drive, providing essential access to the development.
The application seeks a Zoning By-law Amendment to change the zoning of the subject lands from Urban Reserve (UR4) to multiple residential zones, specifically Residential R5/R6 (R5-4/R6-5) for the west portion of Block 1, and Residential R5/R6/R8/R9 (R5-4(*)/R6-5(*)/R8-4(*)•D100•H32/R9-3(*)•H32) for the majority of Block 1.
These zoning changes would permit the construction of approximately 375 dwelling units, comprising 350 apartment units and 25 cluster townhouse units.
The proposed zoning includes various residential designations with specific provisions for increased building height, density, and coverage.
For instance, the R8-4(*)H32 and R9-3(*)H32 zones would allow a maximum building height of 32 metres and a residential density of 100 units per hectare, permitting up to 375 units.
The development is expected to align with the Southwest Area Secondary Plan (SWAP), which envisions medium-density residential uses with building heights not exceeding nine storeys and a density not exceeding 100 units per hectare.
The subject lands are currently used for agricultural purposes and are situated west of Bostwick Road, north of an existing development, and south of the Forest City Community Church.
The site’s eastern limit coincides with the future alignment of Bostwick Road, as per the Bostwick Road Environmental Study Report (ESR) approved in 2019.
Until the realignment of Bostwick Road is completed, the lands east of the draft plan will remain as “Additional Lands Owned by Applicant.”
The surrounding zoning includes Environmental Review (ER) to the west, Neighbourhood Facility (NF) to the immediate north, and various residential zones, including areas designated for apartment buildings with a maximum of eight storeys and a density of 100 units per hectare.
The proposal aims to develop the entire parcel between the wooded area to the west and the existing Bostwick Road to the east in accordance with the intent of the SWAP.
The development’s compliance with these regulations will be critical in determining its alignment with the city’s planning framework and its impact on the surrounding area.
The application is currently under review by the City of London, and further analysis will determine if the proposed amendments meet the city’s zoning and planning requirements.
