Full RecordingRezoning Application No. 2020/01 - 167, 169 and 171 Island Highway
Council received information on a rezoning application to build an 86-unit, five-story apartment building adjacent to Portage Park, noting the applicant reduced density and increased setback from the park since the initial proposal.
"Council debated the appropriate density for the site, especially its proximity to Portage Park. Councillors Lemon and Mattson felt the building was still too large and would detract from the park, while others generally supported the density given the proximity to transit and the housing crisis, pending confirmation of Transportation Demand Management (TDM) strategies."
