What's being proposed?

Heritage Revitalization Agreement (HRA) and Special Development Permit (SDP) applications have been received which would allow for the development of a six (north side) to eight storey (south side) multiple unit residential building at 108 – 118 Royal Avenue and 74 – 82 First Street with 189 residential units with a total floor space ratio (FSR) of 3.29. The HRA would facilitate retention, on-site relocation, restoration, and protection of the Woods House (1890) at 82 First Street (within which 2 residential units are proposed), as well as the retention and off-site relocation of the Henderson House (1930) at 112 Royal Avenue.

The proposal provides:

  • a total of 25 three-bedroom units (13.2%) and 60 two-bedroom units (31.7%) which exceeds the family friendly housing requirements of 10% three-bedroom and 30% two - and three-bedroom units.
  • a total of 253 underground vehicle parking spaces as well as 236 long term and 12 short term bicycle parking spaces which meets bylaw requirements.

The proposed development would provide a dedication along the western property line to support the construction of a multi-use pathway from Cunningham Street to Royal Avenue, adjacent to Qayqayt Elementary School, and would also provide an enhanced sidewalk (2.5 metre) along Royal Avenue and a mid-block connection between First and Windsor Streets. The applicant has proposed to purchase a portion of Windsor Street which functions as a City lane. This land sale would allow the applicant to shift the building to the east, allowing space for the multi-use pathway adjacent to the school.
