Another rezoning proposal for the area.

This makes me think that things may actually be going ahead…

I don't think there has been anything done with this site since it was cleared.

On the other hand, next door beside the church there's a midrise (I counted six storeys?) that has gone up since the LRT was opened.

 

[fromyeg]

That is true. But there have been two recent rezonings approved for the site so *hopefully* that means that things are moving ahead.

Planner Description: The City has received a rezoning application from GEC Architecture. The current zone is a Direct Control Zone (DC2.1187) which allows for high-rise development in the form of towers. The purpose of the rezoning application is to amend the DC Zone to allow opportunities for smaller buildings in the form of mid-rise buildings as well. Specifically, the amendments will: - add wording to Appendix 1: Site Plan to reference both tower and mid rise opportunities; - minor adjustments to the configuration of buildings; and - the removal of Appendix 4: Elevations from the DC to allow for flexibility in building design. Changes are also proposed to the DC text, though these are administrative in nature; requiring uses, definition and references to align with the new Zoning Bylaw 20001.

Hey it's something!

 

[bodsbods9090]

Gotta start somewhere!

What was there that needs remediation?

I was wondering too. Google maps in 2007 shows just single detached houses on that lot.

Some of those houses may have had underground oil tanks...

To develop a Comprehensive Sign Design Plan for a mixed Use development (STRATHEARN).
8706 - 95 AVENUE NW

What exactly is a “Sign Design?”

Or should I make like a tree and “get out of here?”

 

[archited]

^ I think the joke is make like a tree and leave.

Comprehensive Sign Design Plan means a comprehensive conceptual plan for Signs that specifies the Use, size, type, illumination, Height, design, location, and number of Signs proposed on a building or Site.

A Comprehensive Sign Design Plan does not approve the development of a Sign.
