City staff is recommending approval of a six-storey apartment building on Gordon Street that has been over three years in the making.
The Carousel Estate Homes Ltd. proposal, which goes to the council on Aug. 10 for decision, calls for a six-storey, 32-unit building at 1300 Gordon St., on the east side of Gordon just north of Arkell Road.
It was first submitted in July 2017 before undergoing changes.
The 0.6-acre site is currently home to a bungalow that would be torn down.
The apartments would all be two-bedroom units and there are also 46 enclosed parking spaces.
The developer requires Official Plan amendment and a zoning bylaw amendment from the city to allow the development.
There were public concerns regarding height, intensity of the development and parking when the proposal first came to council in Oct. 2017.
Design changes were made to refine the design of the building to better suit the site, says city planning staff, although the height of the project remains the same.
The city would ganer an estimated $639,371 in development charges and estimated annual property tax revenue of $123,700.
