Mixed-Use Building Proposed to Replace Part of Burnt Down Kits Site
A development application has been filed for a 50 lot which was part of a multiple building fire in Kits in July 2018. The site, formerly occupied by Euro-Line Appliances, is the Western 50 ft. lot and has been sitting vacant since that time.
The new development, entitled ‘The Highbury’ envisions a three-and-a-half -storey mixed-use building with residential above retail under the site’s C-2 zoning, having vehicular access from the lane. The proposal includes the following:
- 4 residential units;
- 3,175 SF of retail in two CRUs;
- a total density of 2.33 FSR;
- a building height of 45 ft.
- four parking spaces at the lane.
Under the site ’s existing C-2 zoning, the application is “conditional” so it may be permitted; however, it requires the decision of the Director of Planning.
The architect for the project is BURO47 architecture inc.
