What's being proposed?
A Heritage Revitalization Agreement (HRA) has been received for 102 Seventh Avenue, a corner property in the Glenbrooke North neighbourhood. The HRA proposes retention of the 1941 heritage house with rental secondary suite and construction of a new stratified infill duplex. Through the HRA, the 6,017 sq. ft. (559 sq. m.) property would be subdivided: one building per lot, with access and parking taken from the lane at the rear of the site. The existing house would remain in place on the larger of the two new lots, fronting Seventh Avenue, while the duplex would be built on the rear lot fronting First Street.
The primary Zoning Bylaw relaxations proposed through the HRA include smaller lot sizes, construction of the duplex form (rather than a single-detached house), and higher densities, as density is measured as a ratio of square footage to lot size. No parking relaxations are proposed. In exchange for development, the principal benefits proposed by the project include restoration and legal protection of the heritage house, provision of four family-friendly units, retention of one rental unit, retention of all on-site and off-site trees, and enhancement of the First Street streetscape.
