This petition requests a site plan amendment to the R-12MF(CD) and NS districts to allow for the addition of 16 multi-family attached units, increasing the total to 111 units. The amendment also increases the site area by 0.91 acres for tree save and open space requirements. The development is located near W.T. Harris Boulevard and Shorthorn Street, in an area identified as a housing gap by the city's Equitable Growth Framework. The site is adjacent to major arterials and offers proximity to amenities like the Lynx Blue Line and the Toby Creek Greenway.
This decision provides much-needed housing diversity and adds to the middle-density housing stock, addressing a critical housing gap. The site’s location near major transportation and recreational amenities further enhances the livability of the area.
