Yorkton Council gave unanimous support to the second and third reading of Zoning Bylaw Amendment at its regular meeting Monday to facilitate a new apartment development in the city.
The decision was made after receiving only one letter opposed to the development.
The amendment effectively enlarges a parcel of land on Balmoral Street to facilitate the development.
"The applicant/owner is proposing the development of a three-storey, 21 unit apartment dwelling. The current R-5 zoning allows for the permitted use of an apartment dwelling, but limits the maximum height to 2.5 storeys. The proposed Amendment would establish R-3 zoning, which allows for the permitted use of an apartment dwelling while accommodating a maximum height of up to four storeys," detailed material circulated at the meeting.
"The applicant has produced preliminary plans which demonstrates that the proposed Apartment dwelling and minimum parking facilities can be accommodated on the area proposed for rezoning. The remnant portion of 88 Seventh Avenue North would be approximately 19.35 metres (63.5 feet). The owner has indicated that the remnant parcel would accommodate a semi-attached dwelling (side-by-side, two-unit dwelling)."
