LDA21-0544 Woodcroft RF5 Rezoning

I am also opposed to people who do not live in the community add their 2 cents worth here. They are often friends of the developer rather than people who have to live with the results.

I am totally opposed to the rezoning app for this property. The type of infill suitable for this community can easily be accomplished using the current zone RF1. We have been burned by developers before. They convince the city to approve their rezoning application under the premise of building affordable infill housing. Instead, once the property has been rezoned, they sell it for an exorbitant price and leave the community with an inappropriately zoned property and no new housing (2 to date). The city has to start listening to the residents. We know better than anyone what works and doesn't work in our community. Note: Woodcroft already contains 50% affordable low income housing which far exceeds the 18% limit set by the city.

I am in support of increasing density in a central neighborhood. Building newer dwellings to replace older run down properties will improve the neighborhood. My concern lays in the lot size and how you’d manage to fit 5 units with parking into the lot. I could see a smaller number of units (perhaps a triplex) but I am not opposed to creation of row housing

I don't think this property should be rezoned to the RF5. I think a duplex size would be reasonable, but I don't feel the size of the property does not seem appropriate for the RF5 I'm not against infill, I just think this is too much for the property.

In order to decrease urban sprawl we need to have developments like this in the city. I could see this development working and being aesthetically pleasing if it looked similar to new row houses on 106 Ave 115st (single car garage under the house with a single car driveway). The concerns for parking on this Street are with merit. The lot doesn't seem like it would fit 5 units but possibly three? I'm always in support of infill especially when it's near public transit and alternative transportation routes.

I am in support of infill which will bring people and subsequently services to the neighbourhood. Concerned about the size though. 5 plus possibility for another 5 suites makes 10. Could this be downsized to 3 and 3? Parking is at a minimum on the street side of this property due to snow clearing in the winter. Looks like the CL will get some more members :)

As a very long term resident of Woodcroft, I’m am very opposed to the proposed rezoning. The lot is absolutely not suited for a five unit complex! I can’t see how it’s possible to put that many people into that small area. Keep the integrity of Woodcroft as is! No to the rezoning!

I strongly oppose the application to rezone this property. If the owner wanted to build a 5 dwelling Row House they should have purchased the property in an RF5 or appropriate zone, not in a single detached residential zone (RF1). I am certain that 5 dwellings is far too many for this lot, a duplex should be the maximum the City allows. They will need to a 5-10 car garage or parking lot because that is how many vehicles there will be. In the wintertime, cars are frequently not allowed to park on the street, especially since the property is right on a bus root that gets snowplowed often, But isn't enough space for 5-10 cars in the back! I guess the homeowners don't get yards either. This is one concern, unfortunately I am out of characters

Excellent idea -- Woodcroft is already a 15 min district with easy access to everything. We need dense neighbourhoods! This location has a bus stop steps away and is within a 5 min walk to a major transit centre. Also, parking has been considered and will be included in this design.

This is a great use of a high demand, transit adjacent property, please ignore any NIMBYs and proceed.
