517-525 Fanshawe Park Road East 1536 Geary Avenue
299 homes proposed.
City staff are recommending refusal of a rezoning request (application Z-26039) for 517-525 Fanshawe Park Road East and 1536 Geary Avenue, which sought to change the site from R8 and R1 zoning (both types allow specific residential building forms and heights) to a new R9 category that would have permitted an eight-storey, 299-unit apartment building. Staff's reasons include that the building's actual height works out to nine storeys, which doesn't fit the growth plan for this area of the city, and that the proposed size doesn't match the surrounding lower-rise neighbourhood.
Where the 299-home figure comes from
8 storeys, excluding an enclosed rooftop amenity space (32.0m) • Residential units: 299 units • Density:
