THE EAST Keith Road
special study area in North
to be
rezoned to a higher density.

The proposed changes,
discussed at a hearing at city

council’s mecting Monday night,

would raise the allowed floor
space ratio to 1.0 times the lot size
from the current 0.6 ratio. The
plan passed second and third
readings, with councillors Stella Jo
Dean and John Braithwaite op-
posed.

City planner Richard White said
the higher density would allow
about five units on a typical city
lot, compared with the current
limit of three units.

White said 51 out of 108 people
responded to a survey on the
change to the Official Community
Plan. Three quarters favored the
1.0-times floor space ratio, he
said. .

The rezoning will affect 54 lots
in an area bounded by St. Georges
and St. Andrews avenues, East
Keith Road and the lane between
Past 4th and Sth streets.

Coun. Braithwaite said the
neighborhood was being allowed
to decay in anticipation of rezon-
ing.

‘Some owners and some

absentee landlords are not putting
mGaey into their buildings because
they’re expecting an increase in
density in the area,’’ said
Braithwaite.

Councillors were also concerned
that future development would
block existing views in the study
area.
