More homes could be soon going up on Lily Lake Road.
Earlier this week, Peterborough city council supported a zoning change for a new residential development with 57 units in a mix of single-detached houses, townhomes, and a medium-high density residential block.
The subject property is 3.6 hectares in size and has frontage along Lily Lake Road, approximately 700 metres west of Fairbairn Street.
Currently, the subject property is vacant and its gravel driveway has been improved to serve as a temporary emergency access for the adjacent plan of subdivision to the east. Prior to 2018, the property contained a single detached dwelling that has since been demolished.
Staff say the plan will facilitate active transportation both within the neighbourhood and to destinations beyond the neighbourhood such as downtown via the Trans-Canada Trail.
