Full RecordingMixed Residential Form and Character Development Permit - 9 Erskine Lane
Council reviewed the development permit application for 362 rental units, raising concerns about parking variances, affordable housing criteria, tree replacement, and materials for retaining walls, and deferred final consideration pending more information.
"Council questioned the parking variance, fearing it would create a 'Nursery Hill situation' impacting neighboring streets and hospital parking, and requested a parking study. Concerns were also raised about the high maximum income limits for 'affordable' units and the reduction in replacement trees. The developer, Sarah Alexander, agreed to investigate alternative retaining wall materials and provide funding for unplanted replacement trees."
Formal MotionPassed
"THAT the report dated April 7, 2021 from the Community Planner titled "Mixed Residential Form and Character Development Permit - 9 Erskine Lane" be received for information."
