HI THERE!
We are submitting an application for a Land Use Redesignation and we would love your feedback.
PROJECT LOCATION
Sketch of the old, proposed building envelope (shown in red dotted lines) and the new proposed building envelope (shown in black solid lines).
LAND USE REDESIGNATION
QuantumPlace has been engaged to apply to change the land use district (zoning) for the property. The purpose of the land use redesignation is to change the current designation from Multi-Residential Contextual Medium Profile (M-C2 f2.5 h16) to Multi Residential-High Density Low Rise (M-H1) land use district (M-H1 f3.5 h20.0). This change in land use district will enable one additional storey and FAR. This will make the development economically viable and allow it to progress.
The proposed redevelopment is envisioned to accommodate a six storey (20 m high) midrise building and up to 3.5 FAR (Floor Area Ratio). The proposed development will provide more housing choice and direct growth to a strategic location within walking distance of primary transit.
