SURROUNDING LAND USES

Surrounding land uses consist of a range of commercial, light industrial, open space/public park, and residential uses (Figure 5). Commercial and light industrial uses are located to the north along Tecumseh Road East, including a grocery store, a bank, and a hardware store (Figure 6). A public park is located to the west between Troup Crescent and Urban Lane. Low density residential uses in the form of 1- and 2-storey single detached dwellings are located to the west, southwest, and southeast (Figure 7). Medium density residential uses in the form of 2-storey townhouse dwellings are located to the southeast, outside of the City of Windsor municipal boundary, within the Township of Sandwich South. A single-storey, long-term care facility (Banwell Gardens) is located directly across Banwell Road from the subject lands, which is also owned and operated by The Responsive Group.

This portion of Banwell Road is identified as a “Class II Arterial Road”. The long-term plan for Banwell Road includes reconstruction to accommodate four (4) lanes of traffic, which will require road widening to achieve a 30m right-of-way. This widening is accounted for in the proposed Site Plan, as discussed later in this report.
