LONDON — The Ironstone Building Company Inc. has submitted a Planning Justification Report to support a Zoning By-law Amendment application for 613 Superior Drive in London.
The site spans an area of 3.43 hectares (8.48 acres) with an irregular shape and approximately 160.82 metres of frontage.
The proposed development entails 28 blocks comprising 142 two-storey townhouse condominium units.
Presently, the subject property holds NF*R1-3(7) zoning on the northern part of the block and NF*R1-2 zoning on the southern portion, permitting neighbourhood facilities or single-unit detached residential development.
To facilitate the proposed townhouse development, the Ironstone Building Company seeks a Zoning By-law amendment to apply the (R-5) residential zoning designation.
The new zoning would permit cluster townhouse dwellings and cluster stacked townhouse dwellings, permitting the proposed development.
The proposed zoning amendment aims to enable medium-density residential development in townhouses, aligning with the area’s objectives and complying with Provincial and Municipal policies.
The proposal includes parking spaces for each townhouse: 142 garage spaces, 142 driveway spaces, and 22 visitor parking spaces.
The proposed parking creates a parking ratio of 2.15 spaces per unit. Access to the site will be facilitated by two access points situated along Superior Drive.
The development plan requests an increase in density to 42 units per hectare, requesting 94 additional units compared to the current zoning regulations.
If rezoning the site is approved, the new (R-5) zoning permits 45 units per hectare. Therefore, rezoning the site will allow the requested density.
The proposed development by the Ironstone Building Company at 613 Superior Drive presents a significant shift towards medium-density residential living in London.
With its strategic location and adherence to municipal and provincial policies, this development promises to contribute positively to the city’s housing landscape.
