Application to amend zoning for 251 Albert Street

Changes to the Zoning Bylaw for this location are required before a permit can be issued. This means that they submit an application that is reviewed by city planners and other agencies plus city council before anything can be built.

The applicant is proposing to develop a 7 storey mixed-use building containing residential dwellings (54 bedrooms), spiritual uses, child care centre and indoor amenity areas.

Zoning bylaw changes requested include:

• allowing a maximum 49% of the building to be within 5 metres of the street line;
• allowing only one entrance to the building;
• reducing the minimum required parking spaces to 26 spaced from 66 spaces;
• allowing structured parking to encroach 1.0 metre beyond the building floor area;
• exempt structured parking from covering the entire building frontage for a spiritual use;
• allowing a child care centre and spiritual uses to be located on the second and third storeys of a mixed-use building;
• exempt ancillary uses from locating along the building frontage; and,
• Remove the Holding Provision.
