LONDON — Domus Developments Inc. and 1000566345 Ontario Inc. have received the approval for the applications to the City of London to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law for the redevelopment of properties at 300 and 306 Princess Avenue.
The proposed project entails introducing two rear additions to the existing heritage buildings, accommodating a total of 18 units, with nine units per building.
Nestled on the north side of Princess Avenue, east of Victoria Park and Centennial Hall, these properties currently house two three-story, single-detached red brick homes.
Each building currently comprises six dwelling units, contributing significantly to the area’s historic fabric.
The lot area for 300 Princess Avenue spans 747.6 square metres, while 306 Princess Avenue occupies 738.5 square metres.
Each three-story building will feature three apartment units, with separate access to each floor via staircase and balcony.
Outdoor amenity areas will be incorporated into the rear yard by redeveloping the parking area, with each property featuring a Molok adjacent to the parking.
Existing pedestrian access along Princess Avenue will be preserved, with the principal pedestrian entrance to the additions accessible via Waterloo Street.
The Official Plan Amendment has received approval to add “apartment buildings” as a permitted use on the subject lands.
The Zoning By-law Amendment has also received approval to rezone the properties to a Holding Residential R6 Special Provision (h18*R6-5(*)) Zone and a Holding Residential R6 Special Provision (h-18*R6-5(**)) Zone, with tailored provisions to accommodate the proposed development.
For both sites, the same special provisions have been approved, including a front yard setback of 5.7 metres and a density of 129 units per hectare, among others.
Additionally, a new policy has been introduced to the Specific Policies for the Neighbourhoods Place Type.
The site receiving approval for the amendments enables the preservation of the heritage value of the existing buildings while addressing the growing need for residential units in the area.
The next step in the development process is the removal of the holding symbol on the approved zoning.
The developers are dedicated to creating a harmonious blend of heritage preservation and modern living, contributing to the vibrant fabric of London’s urban landscape.
