A Mississauga-based developer wants to build an eight-storey condo on the site of a commercial plaza in Brampton.

Glen Schnarr & Associates applied to construct the high-density residential development, with commercial use, in April 2019.

The property, on the southeast side of Clarence Street, is currently home to a one-storey plaza, with businesses such as Ardglen Bakery and International Sports Bar & Grill.

The proposal includes 82 residential units and 112 above- and below-grade parking spots.

Resident Eloa Doner said the condo — along with another proposed townhouse development nearby, on Clarence Street — would create "traffic madness" in the area.

"No one is against building in the area," Doner added. "We just want sensible decisions."

Kevin Montgomery, resident of nearby Peel Villiage, said he's optimistic about the project's proximity to local businesses and its density.

"More property assessment is one of the few tools Brampton has to relieve upward pressure on property taxes," he said.

Brampton Wards 3 and 4 Coun. Jeff Bowman said he has received a number of calls from residents about the development since public notices were posted, and encouraged residents to express their concerns to the city.

Residents are invited to attend a public meeting about the property at Brampton City Hall on Feb. 10 at 7 p.m.
