Ḱwaxdzi’dzas Affordable Housing Development Public Information Meeting, December 10
Posted on
The Village of Cumberland is proposing to amend the RM-4 – Residential Multi-Family Zone to permit an increase in height from three to four stories for an affordable rental apartment building at 3345 Second Street.
The primary purpose of the height increase is to strengthen the application to BC Housing to fund construction. To accommodate this height increase, the RM-4 zone will also be amended to increase the permitted number of units per hectare to allow for approximately 34 units on this lot to reflect the additional units on the fourth floor. The zone will set a minimum number of 8 onsite parking spaces for this lot. In addition, 14 public parking spaces will be constructed on Second Street for this development. One parking space will be reserved for a car share vehicle. The property is currently zoned to permit a three storey multi-family apartment building with 22 units. Most of the mature trees on the site will be retained.
This application also proposes to amend Development Variance Permit 2020- 08-DV to allow the reduction to the rear yard setback of 2.0 m for the fourth storey. The Village of Cumberland, in partnership with M’akola Housing, welcomes the community to a public information meeting held in an open house format on Tuesday December 10, 2024 from 5:00pm to 7:00pm at the Village Council Chamber, 2675 Dunsmuir Avenue to learn more about the application and ask questions.
