NOTICE OF APPLICATION
The following applications have been received by the City of London. The Planning and Environment Committee will be considering these applications at a future public meeting, the date and time of which will be published in the Londoner. If you have any questions or would like to provide comment, please see “Providing Comment” below.
City-wide – Additional Residential Unit Review in response to Bill 23 (More Homes Built Faster Act, 2022). On November 28, 2022, the Province received Royal Assent on Bill. Among other changes, the changes to the Planning Act would still have the effect of allowing a total of three units on a lot containing a single detached, semi-detached, or street townhouse dwelling but all units could be located in the main building or have one unit located in a detached building. The purpose and effect of these London Plan and/or zoning changes is to implement these recent changes to the Planning Act made by Bill 23. In December 2021 Council approved London Plan and Zoning By-law changes as a result of the passage of Bill 108 (More Homes, More Choices Act, 2019) to allow a total of three units on a lot containing a single detached, semi-detached or street townhouse dwelling; however, the main building could only contain two units and the detached building one unit. Maximum size of units, number of bedrooms permitted, parking regulations and the need for site plan approval for detached structures were also included. Bill 23, besides allowing three units in the main building, may have the effect of removing the maximum unit size and number of bedroom regulations and need for site plan approval for any detached building. Additional changes to be considered include removing minimum dwelling unit sizes in Section 4.6 (2)(b) in Zoning By-law Z-1. File: OZ-9581/City of London Planner: Chuck Parker ext. 4648
h-5 – The purpose and effect of this zoning change is to amend the h-5 Holding Zone to exempt Public Site Plan Meetings for residential developments with 10 or fewer units in accordance with the provisions of Bill 23. Possible change to Zoning By-law to revise the wording of the h-5 Holding Zone to permit interim permitted uses. The City may also consider additional considerations such as additional special provisions. File: Z-9588 Planner: S. Filson ext. 4847
Street Width Policy Review – The purpose and effect of these Official Plan and Zoning By-law amendments is to add alternative street widths in The London Plan and clarify the planned street widths for the Main Street Classification and modify the requirements for alternative street widths. Additionally, a Zoning By-law amendment will delete Section 4.21, 4.21.1 and 4.21.2 of Section 4 General Provisions of Zoning By-law Z.1. File: OZ-9584. Planner: I. de Ceuster ext. 3835

The archaeological assessment must be completed in accordance with the most current Standards and Guidelines for Consulting Archaeologists. Engagement with the appropriate First Nations shall be completed consistent with the policies of The London Plan. All archaeological assessment reports, in both hard copy format and digitally in Portable Document Format (PDF), will be submitted to the City of London once MTCS has accepted them into the Public Registry. Significant archaeological resources will be incorporated into the proposed development through either in situ preservation or interpretation where feasible, or may be commemorated and interpreted on site. No demolition, new exterior construction, grading, or any other activity where soil disturbance will occur or might be reasonably anticipated shall take place on the subject property prior to the City of London receiving the MTCS compliance letter indicating that all archaeological licensing and reporting requirements have been satisfied.
