Petrolia is currently considering a zoning bylaw amendment to potentially construct new townhouses on Eureka Street. A public meeting was recently held to discuss the development, which includes increasing the number of townhouse units and reducing the lot frontage. Each dwelling is planned to have a garage and driveway for on-site parking, and a greenspace play area is proposed for residents.

The development is not designed as a retirement facility but as market-priced units. Concerns about drainage and flooding have been raised, with assurances that these issues will be addressed during the planning process. If approved, the project timelines are expected to span a few months for site plan approval and objections.

Further details and discussions will take place at the upcoming council meeting on February 20. Stay informed about this potential housing development and other local news by signing up for our newsletter
