Victoria Watcher posted topic Fernwood, North Park and Quadra-Hillside density/housing push

lpoutine,

Victoria Watcher has just posted a new topic entitled "Fernwood, North Park and Quadra-Hillside density/housing push" in forum "Urban Design".

----------------------------------------------------------------------
The City of Victoria will consider adopting new neighbourhood plans for Fernwood, North Park and Quadra-Hillside to help create new and diverse housing options.

The committee of the whole voted Thursday to move forward with new plans for the three neighbourhoods, which could mean new housing options, new housing designation zones focusing on rental housing and affordability, increased density and new "village" areas.

The new plans paint a picture of increasing housing capacity in several zones, in some cases allowing more multi-family projects in traditional residential zones.

A staff report presented to council said there could be a significant increase in housing capacity along Bay Street, Finlayson Avenue and Quadra Street, and throughout Fernwood and North Park. There would also be enhanced village centres along Bay Street, Hillside Avenue and within Fernwood and North Park that would offer more opportunity for new shops and services to serve a growing population.
