Developers of a controversial four-storey apartment at Wilkinson Street and Springfield Road will be back before council Monday seeking a development permit for their project.
Numerous residents in the area spoke out against the project during a public hearing a year ago, arguing it was too dense and too high for the single-family neighbourhood.
Staff disagreed, offering support for the development. Council voted 7-1 in favour with Coun. Gord Lovegrove recusing himself and Coun. Ron Cannan providing the lone dissenting vote.
Council will be asked to give the rezoning final approval before turning its attention to the development permit which provides details on unit makeup, parking, layout, amenities offered, landscaping and building materials.
The development would include 107 units with 15 ground oriented units facing onto both Springfield and Wilkinson.
It would include 72 one-bedroom, 31 two-bedroom and four three-bedroom units across the four floors.
There would be 105 parking stalls provided along with car share and 145 bike stalls.
The building would have a rental sub-zoning meaning it would remain a rental property in perpetuity.
