LONDON — Corlon Properties Inc. is leading a transformative development project in North London, Ontario, on lands currently occupied by the Sunningdale Golf and Country Club, located at 465 Sunningdale Road West.
Branded as the “Neighbourhoods of Sunningdale,” this development is part of a broader initiative by Corlon, which has been active in the area for over two decades, reshaping former agricultural lands and a private golf course into a new community.
The proposed development spans 51.077 hectares, with various land uses planned across 13 blocks.
The breakdown includes:
● 15.317 hectares designated for multiple residential use,
● 5.031 hectares for open space,
● 8.101 hectares for a school, and
● 3.107 hectares reserved for parkland.
The draft plan of subdivision features 156 single-family lots, seven multi-family blocks, four parkland blocks, one open space block, and a school block.
Block 157 is proposed for a mix of grade-oriented housing forms, including 3-storey and 2-storey “rear-laned” townhouses and front-garage townhouses. This block will include 51 new dwelling units spread across 11 buildings, with a proposed density of 34 units per hectare (uph).
The majority of parking will be provided through integrated garages and individual driveways, supplemented by eight visitor parking stalls.
The R5-3(_) zoning proposed for this block will allow cluster townhouses up to three storeys with a maximum density of 35 uph. Special regulations will prevent further subdivision of the block and ensure street-oriented designs with context-specific yard depths.
Blocks 158 and 160 each propose two 4-storey apartment buildings, accommodating up to 76 units per building, for a total of 152 units on each block. The density for Block 158 is projected at 117 uph, while Block 160 will have a density of 119 uph.
The proposed R9-4(_) zoning for both blocks will permit high-density, mid-rise residential development with a maximum height of four storeys and a density of 120 uph. Special provisions include regulations on urban setbacks, parking locations, and minimum and maximum building heights.
Block 159 will feature a mix of 4-storey “back-to-back” style townhouses, 3-storey “rear-laned” townhouses, and 2-storey front-garage townhouses, totalling 108 units with a density of 39 uph. The block is designed to support street-oriented development while avoiding rear-lotting onto adjacent pathways and open spaces.
The R5-4(_) zoning for this block will allow for townhouses and stacked townhouses up to four storeys with a maximum density of 40 uph, with regulations similar to those in Block 157.
Block 161 is envisioned as a more intensive activity center with seven apartment buildings ranging from 4 to 6 storeys, totalling 152 units.
The tallest buildings, at six storeys, will be positioned at the intersection of Wonderland Road North and Sunningdale Road West, gradually stepping down in height towards the north and east.
The proposed R9-7(_) zoning for this block will allow high-density, mid-rise residential and mixed-use development with a maximum height of six storeys and a density of 150 uph. This zoning will also include special provisions for urban setbacks, parking, and the location and size of commercial uses within the block.
Blocks 162 and 163 will each feature a mix of 4-storey “back-to-back” townhouses, 3-storey “rear-laned” townhouses, and 2-storey front-garage townhouses.
Block 162 will include 108 units with a density of 45 uph, while Block 163 will accommodate 89 units with a density of 37 uph. Both blocks will be zoned R5-6(_), permitting cluster townhouses up to four storeys.
The zoning will include regulations for urban streetscape character, building separation, and form-based policy directions from the London Plan.
A public meeting to discuss this development is scheduled for Monday, August 26, 2024. Key aspects to be addressed include zoning and official plan amendments, site-specific regulations, and any compliance issues with city standards.
