The Subject Property

• Is located on a portion of the former Western Christian College lands, (Parcel B as shown on the attached aerial photo), which has been subdivided and sold to a private interest.
• Is currently zoned as I-Institutional, which does not permit residential uses.

The Applicant’s Proposal

• The applicant proposes to rezone Parcel B to R5-Residential Medium Density to accommodate townhouse development.
• In total there would be 35 dwellings on the site.
• Four dwellings would be oriented towards 2nd Avenue and the remainder would be accessed from a private road and oriented internally to the site.
• The buildings would be similar in appearance to the recently constructed townhouses to the west of the subject property on Connaught Street and 2nd Avenue.
• Each dwelling would include a parking space within an attached garage plus one tandem parking stall in front. Visitor parking would be provided for eight vehicles.
• A central open space is also provided.
• The development is intended to be sold as condominium units at market value.

Other Information

• A “Planned Group of Dwellings” in the R5 zone is a “Discretionary Use” according to the City’s zoning bylaw.
• Any Discretionary Use requires City Council’s review and approval of the specific proposal before any development can legally proceed.

The Review Process

• The City gathers comments from “interested parties” including nearby residents, which it addresses in a report to Regina Planning Commission.
• Generally, the role of Regina Planning Commission is to recommend that City Council approve or deny the proposal. City Council then considers the recommendation of Regina Planning Commission and makes a final decision.
• Any person is free to address Regina Planning Commission or City Council. If you wish to be kept informed about the date and time of these meetings, be sure to give the City your contact information as noted on the attached comment sheet.
