Reminder: PPM Rezoning Request (Solterre)

Details
Published: Tuesday, 14 October 2025 16:37
  • When: Wednesday, October 15, 2025, at 6:00 p.m.
  • Where: Council Chambers, Town Hall (120 Townsend Street – back entrance)

The Town of Lunenburg will hold a Public Participation Meeting (PPM) to gather input on a rezoning request for two properties on Brook Street (PIDs 60703881 & 60703899).

The applicant, Solterre Inc., has submitted a revised proposal for a 3- and 6-storey multi-unit residential building with 48–52 apartments, including 16 affordable units, shared amenities, and about 50 parking spaces. To proceed, the project requires:

  • Use Rezoning: From Mixed Use Commercial to General Commercial (removes the requirement for ground-floor commercial space).
  • Form Rezoning: For PID 60703881, from Old Town/New Town 1 to Marine Form (allows more flexibility in building placement and design).

This is your opportunity to learn about the project, ask questions, and share feedback before any decisions are made. 

A note on livestreaming and recording: Council and staff are developing a new policy that will propose discontinuing the livestreaming and posting of Public Participation Meetings (PPMs) on the Town’s YouTube channel. Because the newspaper notice for this meeting was published before that direction was established, this meeting will be audio-recorded and archived on YouTube. However, this is expected to be the final PPM recording posted online.

Virtual participation will continue to be available upon request.
