    Thank you for your feedback. The City is gathering feedback from this public consultation and it will be presented to Council prior to Council making a decision. A Municipal Plan amendment is required for the proposed development, so a Commissioner's Public Hearing will also be held at a later date.

    Thank you for your question. The applicant is currently working on the required Land Use Report. The Land Use Report will be made publicly available once it is complete, prior to public consultation and will state the proposed number of parking spaces to be provided. 

    From the City's Development Regulations for a Townhouse Cluster, a minimum of one parking space is required per Dwelling Unit and the maximum varies from 1.5 to 2.0 per Dwelling Unit depending on the number bedrooms in the Dwelling Unit. Should the applicant wish to provide a different number, a Parking Report and Council approval is required.
