    60 units are proposed in the apartment building. The City is not aware of how many bedrooms are proposed in each apartment yet. This will be outlined in the Heritage and Land Use Report prepared by the applicant. 

    A Townhouse in the Apartment 2 (A2) Zone is a single residential home. 

    The traffic impact is unknown at this time. As part of the resubmission requirements, the applicant is required to provide a trip generation memo to the City for review. Depending on the results of the memo, further study may be required. This memo is to be included in the Heritage and Land Use Report submitted to the City for review.
