Meadowlily Secondary Plan

The Meadowlily Area Planning Study is a City-initiated and funded project that will provide a comprehensive assessment of the opportunities and constraints for the planning and development of the study area. As set out in London's Official Plan (Sect. 2.6.8), an area study will provide the basis for an Official Plan amendment that will identify or refine environmental features, areas and natural resources; apply specific land use designations; and identify collector road alignments. Area studies are also intended to provide for the co-ordination of development among multiple land owners and provide direction for:

  • Community vision and urban design
  • The delineation, protection and management of natural heritage areas;
  • The location and size of parks, schools and other community facilities that may be needed;
  • Housing mix and densities;
  • Municipal services;
  • The phasing of development;
  • Pedestrian and bicycle routes;
  • Transit routing and supportive facilities;
  • Site and subdivision design criteria; and
  • Local road access to arterial and collector roads.

Previous area studies in London, all of which have been developer-led and funded, have covered areas ranging from 130 hectares to 525 hectares in size. The Meadowlily Study Area is much smaller at only 95 hectares in size and, as directed by Council, the Meadowlily Area Plan will be City-led.

If you require further information or would like to comment on the Area Plan, please contact Heather McNeely at (519) 661-4980.

Meadowlily Community Design Workshop - April 27, 2010

Residents, interested members of the public and stakeholders were given an opportunity to provide feedback and input on land use concepts for the Meadowlily Area. Break groups were given the task of reviewing and discussing three possible growth scenarios and to prepare a conceptual land use plan for the Southwest Area. Listed below is a compilation of the comments provided, as well as the Powerpoint presentation given at the meeting.

Component Studies for Gap Analysis

The following component studies will provide the necessary background for the preparation of land use concepts and strategies for servicing, development phasing, urban design and natural heritage protection. A substantial number of studies have been completed in conjunction with natural heritage planning (e.g. Life Science Inventory, Master Plan), previous development applications or uses (e.g. Jackson District Servicing Study, City-Wide Sports, Park Farm), and as a result of the recent planning application for 168 Meadowlily Road South, and also in conjunction with various uses in the area (i.e. Park Farm, City-Wide Sports Park). Proposals submitted by each proponent will include a gap analysis to, at a minimum, clearly identify: (1) a list of existing studies (or portions thereof) and existing materials which the proponent deems to be appropriate, correct, defensible and sufficiently rigorous to utilize in the area study; (2) what portions of required area study process and deliverables will be addressed through these existing materials; and (3) how these materials will be integrated into the area study process.

To the extent possible, component studies will utilize information available from previously completed studies, such as the following:
