Application to amend zoning for 85-89 Columbia St. W. and 300 Hemlock St.

Changes to the Official Plan and 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.

MHBC Planning is proposing to build an 8-storey mixed-use building with a height of 27.5 metres.

Zoning bylaw changes requested include :

• build a tower set back 2.0 metres above the planned podium where a minimum of 3.0 metres is required
• allow balconies of the tower to extend and align with the podium façade
• allow parking around the building and not just behind it
