What's being proposed?
A Heritage Revitalization Agreement (HRA) has been received for 328 Second Street, a property in the Queen’s Park Neighbourhood. The HRA would protect and restore the existing 1889 house while allowing subdivision and construction of a new 208 sq.m. (2,243 sq.ft.) house on the new lot. The proposed lots would be approximately 341 sq.m. (3,678 sq.ft.) for the heritage house and 416 sq.m. (4,487 sq.ft.) for the new infill house. The heritage site would front Second Street and the infill site would be located behind with a panhandle, which would be used as a shared driveway.
The primary Zoning Bylaw relaxations proposed through the HRA include smaller lot sizes, setbacks, lot width, shared vehicle parking/access, and higher density for the heritage house. In exchange for development, the principal benefits proposed by the project include restoration and legal protection of the heritage house, provision of two family-friendly dwelling units, inclusion of a rental secondary suite, retention of on-site trees and enhancement of the Second Street frontage streetscape.
