Rezoning of 279 Sarnia Road (the grey house behind the white fence) is moving ahead to permit two three story buildings. It is proposed to have 20 dwelling units in total, each with three bedrooms. Also, 14 parking spaces between the two buildings are proposed.
There is no date set yet for when this matter will be reviewed by City Council, but we anticipate it will be passed. This form of development is now permitted along Sarnia and similar roads in London. The owner had a community meeting earlier this year and indicated he will be both the builder and manage the buildings after they are built. Units will be marketed as rentals.
Further information and documents that explain the proposal in more detail are available on the City of London website.
If you wish to submit comments to the city planner working on the file, you should submit comments by September 9th. Contact Isaac De Ceuster, at ideceust@london.ca
We have no additional information at this point regarding the possible change in the zoning of 299-307 Sarnia Road (the old farm house and the adjacent property behind the metal fence). However, we do expect that a redevelopment application will come forward at some point in the near term.
