This notice is provided in advance of Council’s consideration of first reading of the proposed bylaw.

PURPOSE:

The purpose of this application is to add a new use to the existing R3-D1 - Low Density Multi-Dwelling Residential zone for 3 Blueberry Avenue to allow for the development of a single-storey 4-unit Terrace Dwelling (i.e. a ground oriented, attached four-unit residential building or fourplex).

Currently, single detached dwellings are the only housing type permitted in the R3-D1 zone. The applicant is seeking to amend the R3-D1 zone to add “Terrace Dwelling” as an additional permitted housing type at 3 Blueberry Avenue. The applicant is proposing to limit the maximum building height for a “Terrace Dwelling” on the site to one storey. Maximum density is proposed to remain at four units, and the off-street parking requirement is proposed to remain at two spaces per dwelling unit.
