Should a 6-Storey Apartment Replace Homes on Victoria Avenue in Nutana?
Official title: 702 & 706 Victoria Avenue
A developer wants to build a 6-storey apartment building at 702 and 706 Victoria Avenue in Saskatoon's Nutana neighbourhood. Right now, the zoning only allows buildings up to 4 storeys. The city is asking neighbours what they think before deciding whether to approve the rezoning.
Why This Matters
Live in Nutana? This building would go up on your street. A 6-storey apartment means more neighbours, more cars, and a different look for the block. If you care about how your neighbourhood grows, now's the time to speak up.
What Could Change
If approved, the zoning would change from RM3 to RM5, allowing buildings up to 6 storeys instead of 4. A Zoning Agreement would set specific rules for this site covering height, setbacks, and parking. The building would include underground parking and ground-level units facing Victoria Avenue.
Key Issues
- Should the height limit be increased from 4 to 6 storeys at this location?
- Is the proposed building design appropriate for the Nutana neighbourhood?
- What impact will this development have on the nearby heritage property (Marr Residence)?
