Why a New House is Being Built Here

The original home on this property was severely damaged by a fire and was deemed beyond repair. As a result, the building had to be demolished and a new home will be constructed in its place.

What is Being Proposed

A development permit for a new single detached house with a front-attached garage has been approved by the City.

Downtown city street with tall modern skyscrapers and buildings under a clear blue sky.

Height and Design

The proposed two-storey home is similar in size and placement to the previous house on the lot. The design includes architectural elements intended to complement the surrounding homes and fit comfortably within the existing streetscape. The development also complies with the provisions of the Carruthers Caveat.

Variance

Under the Small Scale Residential (RS) Zone, vehicle access is typically required from the rear alley. A variance has been requested to allow continued use of the existing front driveway onto 130 Street. The attached garage is designed to be flush with the front wall of the house, and the home is set back from the sidewalk to remain consistent with the character of the street.

Landscaping & Transitions

The proposed house meets or exceeds the required setbacks from the rear alley, 130 Street, and the adjacent properties, maintaining space between buildings and roads. In addition, the Zoning Bylaw requires a minimum of four trees, eight shrubs, and at least 30% soft landscaping on the site.

Project Stage

The development permit for this house has been approved by the City, including a variance related to vehicle access.
