I don't think so.
It looks like it's still MR-25, which only allows a very limited set of non-residential uses.

However, now that the new Official Plan is in place, it looks like city staff are supportive of zoning changes requesting "ancillary commercial uses". King St between Lodge and Elgin is MR-25, but K2 is going up with commercial, and there are more zoning changes to support commercial on the way:

The commercial aspect does not appear to be an issue for either of those.

That said, it's still an extra hurdle that some developers may not wish to bother with.
