ARTICLE EXCERPT:
A 34-unit rental project in the South Jubilee neighbourhood, initially conceived as student housing, will now head to public hearing as a mixed-use, purpose-built rental development after getting unanimous approval from Victoria council’s committee of the whole Thursday.
The project, proposed by Aryze Developments, would see a six-storey rental building with ground-floor commercial space replace an existing four-unit townhouse development at 1693-1699 Fort St.
The proposal requires rezoning and an amendment to the official community plan.
It also calls for only nine parking stalls for the building. There are plans for bus passes for all residents for three years, parking for a car-share vehicle and car-share memberships for each unit, 63 long-term bike stalls and six visitor bike stalls.
