LONDON — A comprehensive residential project has received approval for rezoning at 3637 Colonel Talbot Road in London, Ontario.
The proposal encompasses a blend of townhouse units and the preservation of an existing single detached dwelling, with a focus on zoning amendments and special provisions.
The site, spanning 15,342 square metres, is located within the Talbot Planning District, with a frontage of 91 metres and a depth of 158 metres.
Currently housing a single detached dwelling, a garage, and a vacant barn designated for demolition, the area is predominantly surrounded by low-density residential housing and planned future developments.
The approved development comprises five townhouse buildings, each containing between 5 to 8 units, totalling 30 residential units on the 1.5-hectare site.
The existing single detached house at the front of the site is preserved, with townhouse units allocated to the rear.
Parking provisions include approximately two spaces per unit, totalling 63 parking spaces, comprising driveway and garage spaces, along with visitor parking.
Private amenity spaces behind each townhouse unit are provided, while the natural amenity space of the adjacent ravine is preserved.
The development maintains a height of 2.5 storeys and a density of 27 units per hectare, with a gross floor area of 4,317.4 square metres.
The approved zoning by-law amendment involves rezoning the property from its current Open Space (OS4) Zone and Holding Residential (h-17*R1-16) Zone status to an Open Space (OS4) Zone, Residential R1 Special Provision (R1-14(_)) Zone, and Residential R5 Special Provision (R5-2(_)) Zone.
This rezoning facilitates the construction of the 30 residential units, accommodating townhouses and detached dwelling blocks.
For the townhouse block (R5-2 Zone), provisions include a maximum lot coverage of 32% and a minimum lot frontage of 10 metres.
Meanwhile, the retained single detached dwelling block (R1-14 Zone) adheres to special provisions concerning lot coverage, rear yard setback, and front yard garage specifications.
The special provisions include permitting a front yard depth for garages of 4.5 metres, whereas 8.0 metres is required, allowing accessory buildings in the form of detached garages in the front yard, and requiring that garage doors shall not face Colonel Talbot Road.
This approved development proposal marks a significant advancement in enhancing residential offerings within the Talbot Planning District, subject to further regulatory approvals and adherence to site plan approval.
