The Town of Lincoln values input from community members and encourages them to participate in opportunities for civic engagement. While all are welcome to attend the Committee of the Whole Meeting, due to seating capacity in the Council Chambers please note that seating is on a first-come, first-serve basis. There will be some overflow seating with the proceedings broadcast in a separate room; seating is also limited in this space. We encourage you to watch the Committee meeting via the livestream on the Town’s YouTube channel.
Proposed Change
Applications have been submitted by Landwise on behalf of the owners of the property municipally known as 4933 Victoria Avenue North, Lincoln. The lands are designated Mixed-Use and Natural Environment in the Prudhommes Secondary Plan (Official Plan) and are zoned as Future Development (FD-1) and Environmental Conservation (EC).
The purpose of the proposed applications is to permit a mixed-use building with commercial, hotel (130 suites) and residential (396 units) uses. The proposed building is comprised of four building sections of varying heights, up to 15-storeys, connected by a 4-storey podium. A total of 637 parking spaces are proposed in one underground level and four above ground parking levels.
A copy of the preliminary site plan is included with this notice. This along with supporting plans and studies can also be found at the Town’s website.
The Town is not making any decisions or recommendations on the development proposal at this time. The Public Meeting is an opportunity to have your say on the development proposal.
