A new subdivision in Leamington has received a nod of approval to move forward.
Leamington council approved the rezoning of the land at 538 Bevel Line - just south of Mersea Road B - to allow for the proposed redevelopment.
The draft plan of subdivision by Sorichetti Bros Homes Inc. would create six semi-detached homes, 87 townhouse units, and a three-storey apartment building with 40 units for a total of 133 new residential units on over 14-acres of property.
The plan also includes a block dedicated to wetland protection and a block for stormwater management.
Most of the property was zoned for commercial use, but needed to be rezoned residential to permit the housing development.
This development is expected to provide a mix of housing types in an area that is largely characterized by lower-density residential development.
The proposal will be forwarded to the County of Essex for consideration, as they are the approval authority.
The report passed unanimously.
