EXISITNG: “District Commercial” zoning permits retail, personal service, financial establishment, offices, restaurants, medical clinics, studios, places of assembly, and motor vehicle related uses (including gas). Residential uses permitted above commercial provided less than 50% of the total gross floor area of a building (max height 3 storey). UPSIDE POTENTIAL: To accommodate Hamilton’s forecasted growth part of the City’s plan is ‘Up Zoning of Urban Corridors and major and minor arterial roads to the missing middle which is considered 12 storeys or less. Subject property is on a major arterial road, adjacent to retail amenities, and residential only on 1-side, is an ideal candidate for up Zoning. Formal consultation comments back from City, if residential is pursued, encouraged a 6-Storey pedestrian oriented building.
