The owner of a Bells Corners property is proposing to build a five-storey apartment building with 51 rental units on a site now occupied by a former restaurant and surface parking lot.
In a recently filed application, the developer of the land at 42 Northside Rd., listed as 42 Northside Ltd., says it wants to tear down the vacant eatery and replace it with a new rental complex.
According to planning documents, the proposed development – located a few hundred metres southwest of the intersection of Baseline and Robertson roads – would include 59 parking spots, with 56 of those spaces in a two-level underground garage.

The property’s mixed-use zoning allows for apartment buildings, and the project’s height falls within the 18.5-metre limit under current zoning rules. The developer is requesting relief from current side- and rear-yard setback requirements.
