A development application has been submitted for a 24,341 SF site at the Northeast corner of Oak Street and West 52nd; an assembly of three single family lots.

• maximum heights of 36 ft. for front building facing Oak Street, and 37 ft. for buildings facing rear lane; and
• one level of underground parking containing thirty (30) stalls, having access from the rear lane.

The site is subject to council enactment of the proposed rezoning from RS-1 to RM-8AN By-law, the application is “conditional” so it may be permitted; however, it requires the decision of the Director of Planning.
