LONDON — Shanti Developments has submitted an application to the City of London seeking amendments to its Official Plan and Zoning By-law to facilitate the construction of a cluster townhouse development at 179 Meadowlily Road.
The proposed site, situated at the northwest corner of Commissioners Road East and Meadowlily Road South, covers approximately 0.62 hectares (1.53 acres) of vacant land.
The envisioned development will feature a three-story cluster townhouse complex comprising 21 units, with gross floor areas ranging from 158 metres square to 160 square metres each.
Access to the site will be provided via a driveway from Meadowlily Road South, approximately 75 metres from the intersection of Meadowlily Road South and Commissioners Road East. Each unit will have access from the internal driveway.
Key features of the proposed development include road dedications, a small wetland area proposed to be zoned Open Space (OS5), a wetland setback proposed to be zoned Open Space (OS4), and retaining walls along Commissioners Road East and internally at the west side of the site.
Additionally, footprints of patios and balconies, visitor parking, and sidewalks connected to Meadowlily Road are outlined in the concept plan.
Currently zoned as an Urban Reserve (‘UR’) with a holding provision (h-2), the subject lands require rezoning and an Official Plan Amendment to proceed with the development.
Shanti Developments aims to navigate these regulatory processes to realize their vision for a cluster townhouse community in London.
To accommodate the development, several site-specific regulations are requested, including a minimum front yard depth of 1 m, a minimum exterior side yard depth of 1 m, and a minimum interior side yard depth of 4.7 m.
An Official Plan Amendment is also required to change the designation of the subject lands from Urban Reserve Community Growth to Low Density Residential and Open Space.
The proposed zoning amendments would designate the area as Low Density Residential, with a maximum density of 50 units per hectare.
Special regulations for the proposed Residential (R6-5(_) and Residential (R5-6) zones include minimum setback requirements and maximum density provisions.
In conclusion, the proposed cluster townhouse development at 179 Meadowlily Road represents a significant step towards addressing the housing needs in London.
If approved, it will not only provide much-needed residential units but also contribute to the city’s urban landscape and community growth.
