FIGURE 1: SUBJECT LANDS

1.3 SURROUNDING LAND USE

The subject lands are surrounded by a mix of commercial, residential, and institutional uses (Figure 2). Single-storey, multi-tenanted commercial plazas are located immediately to the north and south of the subject lands along Lauzon Road, with institutional uses located further to the south. A financial institution and a restaurant are located across Lauzon Road to the east. Low density residential land uses are located to the west, with single and semi-detached units adjacent to the subject lands along St. Paul Avenue.

There are numerous examples of low, medium, and high-density apartment buildings along Lauzon Road with some adjacent to low density residential areas. This includes 1170 Lauzon Road; 1145 & 1175 Adair Court; 1350 Lauzon Road; and, 7890 St. Rose Avenue. The interface between higher density residential uses along a Class I Arterial Road set adjacent to lower density residential neighbourhoods in behind are common in the area.
