2015, 2009, 2003 - 22 ST SW

COMMUNITY: Richmond

CURRENT LAND USE: R-C1: Residential - Contextual One Dwelling. 

R-C1 is a residential designation seen in developed areas that is primarily intended to accomodate single detached homes.

PROPOSED LAND USE: DC: Direct Control

The proposed Direct Control land use follows site-specific policies that are similar to the Residential - Grade-Oriented Infill (R-CG) district, and will allow for a maximum building height of 11.0 metres and a maximum density of 75 units per hectare.

PROPOSED PROJECT: Fourteen (14) townhouse units and fourteen (14) secondary suites in four primary residential buildings grouped around a central landscaped open space. The development is proposed in two phases.

PROJECT VISION: We want to give more Calgarians the opportunity to live mere steps from local parks and cherished community destinations along the 17th Avenue SW Main Street. The proposed project seeks to add fourteen new and unique townhouse units in the established inner city neighbourhood of Richmond.

CITY POLICY ALIGNMENT: The proposed development is supported by the city-wide policy goals of Calgary's Municipal Development Plan.  The Plan encourages the addition of new housing options in established communities, better and more efficient use of existing infrastructure, and more compact built forms in locations with direct and easy access to transit, shopping, schools and other community services.
