Two new proposed Transit Villages: Oxford-Richmond intersection and 100 Kellogg Lane
What is a Transit Village?
A Transit Village is a place type - Place types regulate the permitted uses, allowed intensity, and form requirements at a high level.
Transit Villages allow for some of the broadest range of uses and the most intense forms of development in the city within highly urban, transit-oriented environments. Second only to the Downtown in terms of the mix of uses and intensity of development that is permitted, Transit Villages are major mixed-use destinations with centrally located rapid transit stations. These stations will form focal points to the Transit Village neighbourhood. Transit Villages are connected by rapid transit corridors to the Downtown and allow opportunities for access to this rapid transit from all directions.
Why are Transit Villages needed?
London is experiencing unprecedented demand for new housing units, especially apartment units. As part of the Housing Accelerator Fund, the addition of new Transit Villages would focus new higher-intensity development within areas centrally located near rapid-transit and connecting to the Downtown. The addition of Transit Villages at key locations will support more housing overall with complementary uses ensuring efficient and appropriate development. The London Plan limits the enlargement or addition of Transit Villages in the city. Amendments to The London Plan and Zoning By-law No. Z.-1 will be required to move forward with these proposed locations.
