The subject property, known municipally as 386 Richmond Road is approximately 3,696 sq. f. (0.084 acres) or 343.36 sq. m (0.03 hectares) in lot area and has approximately ten (10) metres of frontage onto Richmond Road, a Traditional Mainstreet. Currently, the property is occupied by a vacant and dilapidated building and is abutting a one (1) storey Scotiabank building to the west and a two (2) storey commercial and office building to the east. The rear of the building is occupied by a two (2) storey office building. There is a small driveway between the two (2) storey commercial building and the subject property that provides access to a surface parking area used by the previous tenants.
The proposed development consists of a 1,207.7-square metre, six (6) storey building with a commercial unit on the ground floor, office at the second floor and four (4) floors of residential uses. The rental residential building will include a mix of studios and one (1) bedroom apartments for a total of sixteen (16) units. The building supports and will contribute to an active frontage with a two (2) storey podium along Richmond Road, while the remainder of the building is set back from the street edge. The proposed building features a separate apartment entry set back from the streetscape and near the entrance of the commercial unit.
The proposed building replaces a vacant and derelict one (1) storey commercial building with associated parking and removable carport used by the previous tenants. As proposed, the development will improve the public realm and the Richmond Road frontage by creating an active street edge and a built form within a compact-mixed use development. Further, the infill development will contribute to the building transition towards existing and proposed mid- and high-rise buildings along the Richmond Road Traditional Mainstreet.
