It looks like the Housing Agreement for this project will be before council today!
And what promises is that housing agreement alleging?
In a move Victoria residents should be getting used to, Victoria city council has moved forward two projects with plenty of housing but few places to park a car.
On Thursday, council gave three readings to bylaws for a 91-unit rental housing project at 1702 Quadra St. and 862 Fisgard St., with only four parking stalls instead of the required 60, and a 56-unit mixed-use project at 1055 Alston St. in Vic West that will have 17 parking stalls for residents and two for visitors, rather than a total of 55.
Adoption of the bylaws could happen as early as next week.
Mayor Marianne Alto said council is not concerned about having a lot of parking per unit.
“There have been a number of applications in the last year and a half which have had no parking, and then a number like the ones we did yesterday, which had significantly reduced parking,” she said Friday. “We’re constantly looking at what makes sense in the context and it isn’t an arbitrary thing.”
