Rezoning updates – Sarnia Road

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.   

Rezoning at 279 Sarnia Road

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.

ReThink Rezoning

The City is changing the city wide zoning by law to be consistent with the London Plan. In the London Plan, our area, like many in the city, is now called Neighbourhood. What the zoning will be is to be set out in the Rethink Rezoning project. There is a meeting coming up where you can learn more about it and provide your thoughts.
