Victoria Watcher posted topic Sidney proposes capping building heights

lpoutine,

Victoria Watcher has just posted a new topic entitled "Sidney proposes capping building heights" in forum "Urban Design".

Seems to me they would want to leave some area to attract some towers with views, big tax base.

Sidney's upward trend in building heights might be coming to an end.
A staff report, part of the official community plan (OCP) review, is recommending Sidney cap the elevation of future buildings along Beacon Avenue east of Fifth Street to three storeys, and to four storeys elsewhere in the downtown core, with a more detailed height allowance map to be worked out for later public input.
The report leaves room for downtown buildings with five storeys, but only in the area from Highway 17 to the half block along Beacon Avenue before Fifth Street, and only by approval through a rezoning or variance request if a "significant public amenity" such as social housing is part of the proposal.
