Should a 15-Bed Care Home Replace a House on Clarence Avenue?
Official title: 2212 Clarence Avenue South
A developer wants to demolish a single-family home in Saskatoon's Queen Elizabeth neighbourhood and build a residential care home for up to 15 people. The facility would provide 24-hour care for residents who need help with daily living. Because this isn't a typical use for the residential zone, the city needs to approve it as a 'discretionary use.'
Why This Matters
Live near 2212 Clarence Avenue South? This decision affects your neighbourhood directly. Care homes can change traffic patterns and parking availability. They also provide essential housing for people who need daily support—something every community needs.
What Could Change
If approved, the existing house would be demolished and replaced with a licensed care facility for 6-15 residents. The city may require a minimum number of parking spaces. This approval would apply to the property itself, so any future expansion would need a new application.
Key Issues
- Is a 15-bed care home appropriate for this residential neighbourhood?
