Council Meeting – Highlights

Monday 25th July – Some Highlights of Interest

Development Permit for 2452 to 2496 Marine Drive

The site in question comprises six commercial lots in Dundarave Village, and the proposal is to construct a mixed-use building to provide retail space, office space, and residential units. The proposal design requires variances as part of the Development Permit, including allowance for a height increase of 3.8 metres. 

Staff provided a presentation outlining the proposal’s details, including three storeys at Marine Drive and, due to the sloped site, presenting as five storeys at the lane. The proposal also includes increased setbacks for wider sidewalks, public art, a public plaza, and bus stop and sidewalk upgrades.

Council approved the Development Permit.
