Ah, thanks!
Pertinent asks from the developer:
The reduction of commercial parking is a biggie! And it makes a lot of sense, because the kind of commercial that will ultimately end up here is convenience retail serving the people who live and work nearby. Not things that people will likely be driving to as much.
The building fronting Columbia will be 14 storeys tall.
Pertinent asks from the developer:
Quote:The applicant has since decided to keep these two properties separate, rather than consolidate the lots. This has resulted in a redesign of 145 Columbia Street. The applicant has applied for the zone change application to resolve deficiencies in parking and setbacks and allow greater building heights.
Request: The Applicant is requesting changes to the site specific zoning by-law for:
A reduction in the rear yard setback for 145 Columbia Street W from 3.0 m to 2.0 m
A reduction in the front yard setback for 145 Columbia Street W, both above grade and below grade, from 5.0 m to 2.8 m
A reduction in the side yard setbacks for 145 Columbia Street W, from 4.0m to 3.6m
A reduction in the residential visitor parking rate (as it relates to both properties) from 0.05 to 0.026 spaces per bedroom.
A reduction in the commercial parking rate (as it relates to both properties) from 4 to 1 space per 100 sq.m. of floor space
Building ‘C’ Height – from 55m to 79.3m
Building ‘D’ Height – from 40m to 47.4m
That the two properties be treated as one for the purposes of allocating and accessing parking spaces and loading spaces.
