    With the low number of parking spaces for this development, will public transit be made more widely accessible on New Pennywell Road?

    humphrea asked about 1 month ago

    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.

    Has the local community been poled to ascertain their thoughts on this development. The current townhouse design may cause concerns for property values of the surrounding homes.

The applicant is responsible for conducting consultation with the adjacent property owners prior to submitting the report.
