Public Participation Meeting: Rezoning Request (Brook St.)

PUBLIC PARTICIPATION MEETING NOTICE: Proposed Rezoning - PIDs 60703881 & 60703899, Brook Street 

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.

What is a PPM?
A Public Participation Meeting allows residents to provide input early in the process. Feedback collected at the PPM is shared with Council before they consider the application. If Council chooses to continue, the proposal will also go to a Public Hearing before any final decision is made.
