Urban Development and Proposals Discussion

Yup, I went on the Jane's Walk in Sunnyside about affordable housing and Jaydan was there to speak to the group at Triangle. He touched on that, as well as the height being just right at 6 storeys to quickly and affordably get housing built. He sure seems really passionate about scaling up Attainable Homes and delivering more units with this ATCO setup.

6 storeys is a nice step down from the higher projects on 9A St to Palfreyville on 9 st.

None of the new projects on 9A St (Annex, Hive, Kit, Minto) have retail so it's hard to expect retail even further from the main commercial strip. And the city hung so many expectations on this property over the years that it stayed a weedy field.

At least this one has windows on both street-facing sides (unlike AHC's other modular project). Hopefully windows on the LRT side too.

What is happening with the lot across Cold Garden?

Close to the Crown Surplus. The poster for the mid rise is still on the fence but no action ever

The fire station? The city and RNDSQR couldn't make a deal and it fell through, so it's stalled out until the city figures out what they want to do.
 
A thread for that project:

Inglewood Fire Hall Development | 42m | 12s | RNDSQR | S2

Editing post to add rendering now that DP is submitted: Some initial materials for this development are going to CPC next week for preliminary feedback. For those not familiar, this is a project located at 1204 - 1216 11th Ave SE (Gopher Park) for a mixed use building, incorporating a new...

Got a pretty interesting one for that sliver of triangle directly west of the Lifesport site in Kensington.

Not sure if this has been posted yet, but there's a Land Use Redesignation just East of Chinook Centre for MU-1 on the Chinook Plaza strip mall.

It's directly West of the CF "slab towers" (61st Avenue Residential) proposal and calls for 8.0 FAR and a max height of 110m. Here's a bit of an overview of what we have so far for that area.

The 150m parcel is phase 2 of the CF 61st Avenue Residential proposal.

What were these amendments and would they have actually helped spur more development? Happy to see the Communities First people get called out since they seem to be the most hypocritical people on council as their speaking points are all about cutting red tape and building homes and yet the always vote against stuff that would actually help do that.

Council draws ire of Calgary developers after ‘housekeeping’ land-use changes defeated - Calgary | Globalnews.ca

In two letters sent to Calgary city council obtained by Global News, developers expressed frustration at the "introduction of politics to administrative housekeeping amendments."

Based on that article, it sounds like the Silly Six voted against based on all the recommendations being grouped together instead of individually. Normally it's not hard at all to vote on things individually...a councillor just has to ask for it (and then a quick vote on whether to do that or not)

However, the changes were defeated in a tie vote with councillors Sean Chu, Sonya Sharp, Dan McLean, Jennifer Wyness, Andre Chabot, and Terry Wong voting against.

I'm confused about this tie vote...it means two people were missing? It looks like the tie vote was earlier in the month, but then this week there was the reconsideration motion that need 2/3s and was defeated 9-5 (Chu voted for it...accidentally?)

Edit: Found it - May 6 Public Hearing Meeting of Council - Demong and Dhaliwal were absent (at least for that vote)
