WHAT'S GOING ON HERE? New Shoppers Drug Mart proposed for Carleton Place's McNeely Avenue.

WHAT'S GOING ON HERE? New Shoppers Drug Mart proposed for Carleton Place's McNeely Avenue. The proposed development consists of a single-storey, 6.1-metre-high commercial building with a total floor area of more than 17,100 square feet. It will support a future Shoppers Drug Mart pharmacy and retail store. By Tara Gesner Carleton Place Almonte Canadian Gazette Tuesday, March 24, 2026 1 min to read Article was updated Mar 24, 2026 * Twitter * Email * Print * Save JOIN THE CONVERSATION (2) A development permit application was submitted to the Town of Carleton Place last month, with the intention of constructing a commercial building on the southwest corner of 455 McNeely Ave. - adjacent to the intersection of McNeely Avenue and Highway 7. Just the facts. ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW * Loblaw Companies Limited is the owner of the subject property. * The proposed development consists of a single-storey, 6.1-metre-high commercial building with a total floor area of more than 17,100 square feet. It will support a future Shoppers Drug Mart pharmacy and retail store. * Currently, the area designated for development serves as parking for the existing retail establishments on the premises, including Anderson's Your Independent Grocer. * Many people in the Ottawa Valley will identify this location as the venue for Carleton Place Cruise Nights, a charity-driven classic car exhibition held on Wednesday evenings between May and September. * The property is designated as Highway District in the town's Official Plan and Development Permit Bylaw (DPB). * The application necessitates three variations to the DPB: one commercial vehicle loading space is proposed, but section 3.25.1 requires a minimum of two loading spaces; five bicycle parking spaces are proposed, but section 3.31 requires a minimum of 21 spaces; and to permit a pharmacy as a permitted use in the Highway District. * A Shoppers Drug Mart is already located in Carleton Place at 315 McNeely Ave., roughly 1.5 kilometres from here. * "The elevations that have been provided to the town are specifically for a Shoppers on this site," Niki Dwyer, director of development services, told Inside Ottawa Valley. * Comments from the public on the proposal were welcomed by the town's planning department until March 16. * The Class 3 development permit application has not yet been brought before council for consideration and approval. * Additional information in relation to the proposed development can be found under "Current Applications" at carletonplace.ca/town/municipal-services-info/development-services.
