/ABOUT THE PROJECT
1000077448 Ontario Inc. (the developer) has acquired the site at 489 Upper Queen Street in London, ON. With the support of Siv-ik Planning & Design Inc. they are planning a low-rise medium density residential development project on the site.
We understand that change in neighbourhoods warrants conversation. This website provides an opportunity for those who are interested to learn about the vision for the site early on in the planning process and to share their thoughts. The project team is committed to engaging with local residents at multiple points in the process.
Learn More
In May 2022, the project team published and shared our "Project Backgrounder" to help residents learn more about the planning process and the preliminary vision for the redevelopment of the site.
Stemming from the preliminary design principles which we shared previously and considering feedback received through the first phase of our engagement program, we prepared a detailed Concept Plan for the project in July 2022. The Concept Plan was the next step in the evolution of the design for this development.
The Concept Plan included two 2-storey townhouse buildings with a total of 11 residential units. Most vehicular parking was provided by way of integrated/attached garages and individual driveways. The design included 4 visitor parking stalls in addition to the resident parking.
Through the Zoning By-law Amendment process, the application has been updated. To learn more about the updated site concept, download the Project Factsheet.
To learn more about the Concept Plan and the zoning By-law Amendment application that was submitted to the City of London, please download the reports, plans and studies below. Alternatively, click here to access the files from the City of London Planning Applications website and to provide comments directly to the City Planner assigned on the file.

/PROVIDE FEEDBACK &
STAY INFORMED
The community engagement portion of this project has now concluded as this project has been approved by City of London Council.
/HOW IS MY FEEDBACK USED?
Feedback received through our outreach program will be used to inform our understanding of the local context and, where possible, shape some elements of the design of the project. We acknowledge that change is difficult and that no outcome will satisfy all interested parties completely. As such, the project team cannot integrate everything suggested by our neighbours and the community at-large. However, we commit to:
-
Providing you with quality and up-to-date information about the project.
-
Helping you to understand how you can participate in the process.
-
Asking for your thoughts and perspectives.
-
Sharing what we have heard and our team’s response to it.
