Should a Six-Storey Apartment Building Replace Nine Homes on Clarence Avenue?
Official title: 400 Block Clarence Ave S
A developer wants to build a 163-unit apartment building on Clarence Avenue South in Saskatoon's Nutana neighbourhood. Right now, nine single-family homes sit on the land. The proposal needs a zoning change to allow a taller building—six storeys instead of the current four-storey limit.
Why This Matters
Live in Nutana or nearby? This building would change the look and feel of your neighbourhood. More residents means more traffic, but also more housing options in an established area. If you're looking for an apartment close to downtown, this could be for you.
What Could Change
If approved, nine homes would be demolished and replaced with a six-storey building. The zoning would change from RM3 to allow the extra height. A binding Zoning Agreement would lock in the specific design—167 parking spots, 78 bike spaces, and the exact building layout shown in the plans.
Key Issues
- Should the height limit be increased from four to six storeys?
- Is 167 parking spaces enough for 163 units?
- How will the building fit into the existing neighbourhood character?
