The Planning and Building Services Department received an application for an Official Plan Amendment for lands located at 226 Lockhart Drive.
The original submission was for a 5-storey apartment dwelling with twenty-two apartment dwelling units and twenty-six parking spaces. A revised application has been received that proposes a four-storey residential building with no changes to the number of units or parking spaces. The enclosed plan provides a conceptual site layout of the proposed development.
The City’s Official Plan currently designates these lands ‘Low Density Residential’ and ‘Natural Areas’. Apartment dwellings are not a permitted use in the ‘Low Density Residential’ designation. To facilitate this proposal, the Applicant is requesting that the portion of the subject lands presently designated as ‘Low Density Residential’ be redesignated to ‘Medium Density Residential’ through the Official Plan Amendment application, which permits an apartment dwelling use and a general density range of 25 to 99 units per hectare.
The application materials are available for review and comment and may be found at stcatharines.ca/development as well as at the Planning and Building Services Department at City Hall (50 Church Street).
