LONDON – Southside Construction Management Limited has submitted a Final Proposal Report for the development of lands located at 3095 Bostwick Road, in the southwest quadrant of Southdale Road West and Bostwick Road.
The subject lands, which cover approximately 11.2 hectares (26.7 acres), are part of the ongoing Talbot Village subdivision and will serve as Phase 8 of the project.
Currently designated as ‘Neighbourhoods’ under London’s Official Plan (The London Plan) and zoned as ‘Urban Reserve (UR3)’ under the City’s Zoning By-law Z.-1, the proposal seeks to rezone the subject lands for low- and medium-density residential use.
The rezoning aims to implement new designations of ‘Residential (R2-3(6))’ with special provisions for single detached dwellings, ‘Residential (R4-4(2))’ for street townhouses, and ‘Open Space (OS5)’ for a dedicated open space block.
The development will consist of 74 single-detached lots, 38 street townhouse units, one open space block, and the extension of Raleigh Boulevard and Jack England Drive. Two new municipal right-of-ways will also be introduced.
The lots are designed to accommodate setbacks and lot frontages that are compatible with the surrounding community.
Special provisions for the zoning include a minimum lot frontage of 11.0 metres, a front yard setback of 3.0 metres for the main dwelling, a garage setback of 5.5 metres, and a maximum lot coverage of 45%.
Additionally, interior side yard depths will be a minimum of 1.2 metres, with a 3.0-metre setback required on one side for lots without an attached garage.
A significant portion of the site, covering 4 hectares, is designated as an open space block. This area will consolidate the site’s natural heritage features, including woodlands and relocated wetlands.
The open space will be dedicated to the City of London as parkland, in compliance with ecological standards.
The proposed development complies with the London Plan’s ‘Neighbourhoods’ Place Type designation, which permits the proposed residential uses, including single detached and townhouse dwellings. No amendments to the Official Plan are required.
The development’s road network, with connections to Raleigh Boulevard, Jack England Drive, and Mersea Street, aligns with the plan’s Neighbourhood Connector roadway designations.
