A residential development on the old CJ Houston School property is a step closer following the passing of two motions by Yorkton Council at its regular meeting Monday.
In accordance with the requirements of the Planning and Development Act, 2007 and Subdivision Bylaw, Council approval is required for a subdivision application where it proposes to re-align or create property line boundaries where two or more properties are legally altered or created.
As part of the process the roadway to be built as part of the development was named C.J. Houston Place by Council motion Monday.
As for the overall project, Michael Eger, Planner with the City explained, "The City is partnering with a private developer to provide housing to the entry-level ownership market as part of the Headstart on a Home provincial program. The proposed lots are smaller than has been typically provided in the past with the goal of reducing costs for land. A new zoning district is currently being drafted that will promote higher density development for single-detached dwellings."
