    As part of the rezoning process, Engineering staff include a review of the application with respect to transportation impacts. The applicant (and nearby developments to this intersection) will be required to provide street improvements as conditions of rezoning approval.

    Prior to construction, the site is required to meet with and coordinate construction and street use impacts with our Engineering team. Appropriate permits are required to secure street space and any closures must be permitted in advance with proper traffic management plans approved. Traffic management plans are reviewed closely by Engineering staff to ensure there are safe vehicular, cycling, and pedestrian provisions during construction to provide access for the local residents and businesses.

    what is considered below market rent

    Margaret Martyn asked 6 months ago

    80% of the housing units in the new building will be market-rent units.  That is, they will be rented by the owner at rates in line with standard rental housing at the time of building completion.

    The below-market rental units are to be rented at 20% less than the average rents as published by the CMHC.  The rents of the below market rental units would be set at occupancy.  Were the building to complete today, the maximum starting rents are: $1,223 for Studio, $1,429 for 1-bedroom,  $1,969 for 2-bedroom, and  $2,395 for 3-bedroom or larger.  

  • Share Does the city even consider the residents of the westend in these processes? I have been drowning in construction from all sides of Bidwell and Comox for the last two years. The noise is such an assault I have to go into the office to work, and the joy I had working from home is no longer an option. It impossible to navigate the 20 construction projects during the week on the road our apartments are covered in black dust and I have to leave the neighbourhood I love just to get some quiet, I pay more than 50% of my income in rent and with all of the complaints about affordable housing options or lack there of- your priorities seem to be to just keep building on top of the problems. We should take some time to consider how we are overlapping projects and the impact it’s making on the animals, environment and psyche of the humans who have to pay to endure it. on Facebook Share Does the city even consider the residents of the westend in these processes?
