Should 2401 Broadway Avenue Be Rezoned for Affordable Housing?
Official title: 2401 Broadway Avenue
A developer wants to rezone an empty lot at Broadway Avenue and Ruth Street in Saskatoon. Right now it's zoned for low-density housing. The proposal would allow a 25-unit affordable housing building instead. This is part of the City's plan to build more affordable homes on city-owned land.
Why This Matters
Looking for affordable housing in Saskatoon? This project could add 25 units to the market. Live near Broadway and Ruth? The building would change the look and feel of your neighbourhood. This is one of several city-owned sites being developed for affordable housing.
What Could Change
If approved, the zoning would change from R2 (low-density residential) to RM4 (medium/high-density residential). That means a multi-unit apartment building could be built where only single-family or duplex homes are currently allowed. The 25 affordable units would be part of the City's Housing Action Plan.
Key Issues
- Should the zoning change from low-density to medium/high-density residential?
- Is this location appropriate for a 25-unit affordable housing building?
- What impacts would the development have on the surrounding neighbourhood?
