Is it the norm for LPAT proceedings to move along that briskly?
They appealed in October 2019 because Council did not make a decision within the prescribed timeline. The second CMC is in August - still early in the process.
You're right, this stretch of Innes is destined to be Merivale part deux.
However, the only multi-unit building in the area is the retirement residence next door, and now you want to build a Campeau/William's Court-style multi-building Kanata complex..in Orleans?
Woah woah woah, lets pump the brakes here. We didn't build these curly cue-suburban traffic jams for large buildings! Who will make all the easy money building suburban-sprawl dwellings if Lepine sucks all the air out of the room building these towers?
Merivale is surrounded by mid rise apartment buildings and they are still building them.
Lepine has submitted a Site Plan Control application to construct three mid-rise apartment buildings ranging from 4 to 7 storeys in height and containing 283 dwelling units, ground-floor accessory retail space in one building, and a two-level underground garage and surface parking area to accommodate 386 spaces at 270 Lamarche Avenue.
The development is fully integrated featuring a two-level underground parking garage containing 354 spaces common to all three buildings and a centrally located surface visitor parking area accommodating 32 spaces accessible from the local street. The apartment building fronting Lamarche Avenue (Building/Pavilion C) is to contain approximately 280 square metres of accessory commercial and retail space on the ground floor. All service functions are to be from the local street. The development plan features a landscape buffer strip along the site’s southern and western yards ranging from 9.0 to 20.0 metres in width that separates the three buildings from the abutting low-rise residential properties. The form of the proposed buildings is multi-tiered from five to seven storeys beyond the noted yards to provide a transition in building mass from the neighbouring low-rise residential character.
This 'Lepinechitecture' is getting out of control. Look at those balconies! A little slice of New Orleans on Innes Road? I'm surprised NEUF would be into something that ornate.
I'm beginning to think we should give up on the Cumberland Transitway concept and plan for an elevated rail line along Innes instead. This would accelerate redevelopment of those big box power centres with their massive parking lots into dense TOD.

Wondering the same as well. Much of the future Cumberland Transitway corridor has already been developed into low density sfh and townhomes. Innes has the potential to be an urban tree lined boulevard, with bike lanes wide sidewalks and mid-rises with ground floor retail... in 50+ years...
