Rezoning sought for veterinary clinic

City councillors have a light agenda Tuesday night for their planning meeting.

The meeting is scheduled for Tuesday next week, due to the Thanksgiving holiday on Monday.

Here’s what councillors will be discussing:

Apartments for former St. Joseph’s Hospital

Councillors will consider giving final permission to allow construction of 33 more apartments in the former St. Joseph’s Hospital on Hunter St. E.

Earlier phases of development have already taken place. Councillors had given preliminary permission for this phase too, but they wanted to ensure there was enough parking in the plan before giving the final OK.

The plan is for 33 apartments and 42 parking spots. City staff says that should be sufficient.

New veterinary office on Lansdowne St. W.

Councillors will consider a rezoning to allow a new veterinary office in the commercial plaza at 1600 Lansdowne St. W. (at Kawartha Heights Boulevard; it’s the plaza that once housed the constituency offices of former MP Dean Del Mastro).

City staff recommends that councillors allow the rezoning.
