LAND USE DESIGNATION

• Height: up to 6 storeys.
• FSR: Up to 2.5*.
• Residential use permitted.
• 100% rental residential required in existing RM zones (rate of change) (see policies in 8.0 Housing**).
• Provide 2 and 3 bedroom units for families (see policies in 8.0 Housing**).
• Minimum 60 foot site frontage required for 6 storey developments.
• On sites 130 feet or deeper, 2 storey townhouse buildings may be constructed at the lane.
• Upper storeys massed/set back to minimize appearance of scale and to reduce shadow impacts.
• Provide public realm improvements that include increased sidewalk width (on some sites), street trees and amenities such as seating, bike racks, etc.
• The proposed floor space ratio (FSR) is an estimate based on intended urban design performance with respect to site size, form/typology, height and scale appropriate for respective locations and transition to adjacent properties. The development potential for each site may fall within, below, or, for anomalous sites, above the FSR range given and will be determined by careful analysis of individual proposals based on urban design and public realm performance and quality.
