Ridgecrest wants to build up to 239 units in multi-storey buildings between St. Lawrence and Vista Ridge
A proposed College Heights housing development is receiving a second public hearing at Monday’s council meeting.
While the total property size is 29.2 hectares, the application covers just a 1.91-hectare chunk of land. North Street near this property is already designated as a Neighbourhood Corridor under the OCP and further densification of the area could help with the Ospika expansion, staff say. The developer is also seeking to subdivide the property to allow for future housing construction as St. Lawrence Avenue is extended. A summary of the June open house is attached to the council meeting agenda. It says 12 to 15 members of the public attended along with four representatives from L&M Engineering. There were also comments sent in via email.
Other residents encouraged the extension of Ospika as soon as possible to provide the neighbourhood with secondary access and a relief valve for additional traffic. “Administration supports the proposed bylaws as they will facilitate the redevelopment and infill of an underused existing site while addressing a housing need,” Wasnik said.
