Here are displays from the owner of Sherwood Forest Mall for the building they plan to build at the west side of the mall property (near the Beer Store). The City Council will review the proposal in the new year. If approved, the owners want to start building sometime in 2025 with completion likely to take until 2026.
At the information session, the consultant will go over the history of the project and the changes to the original application for everyone’s information. It is a different concept than we first heard about. The flyer with further information is available here.
REZONING AT 279 SARNIA ROAD FOR TWO – 3 STORY BUILDINGS
This application will be heard at a public participation meeting at City Hall this Tuesday, October 22, around 1:45 pm (the meeting is also on line. If you wish to speak on line, write pec@london.ca prior to the meeting). The two buildings will have a total of 20 units, each with 3 bedrooms. The full report is available here. Your Executive is supportive of this application because it will be managed by the builder who is a local builder, is not as tall as currently permitted and has fewer bedrooms than permitted.
REZONING AT 299-307 SARNIA ROAD
There will be an information session on the revised proposal for development of these two properties. The session will occur on November 13th starting at 6 pm at St. Ansgar Church, in the Church hall. St. Ansgar is at the corner of Lawson and Wonderland (with lots of parking). Members of your Executive are meeting with Councillor Trosow and the proponent’s consultants prior to the session. After our meeting, there will be more information as to what is proposed.
The city council is reviewing the ward boundaries due to London’s population growth. The four options prepared by the retained consultants and further information are available at: https://getinvolved.london.ca/ward-boundary-review There is an interactive map feature to show you the impact of the changes. For our neighborhood options 1 to 3 pretty much maintain the status quo. Option 4 divides the neighbourhood between two wards. There are a few opportunities for you to provide your opinion on the options. City Council will be making a decision on a new configuration by the end of the year.
