COMMUNITY: West Hillhurst

CURRENT LAND USE: R-C2: Residential - Contextual One/Two Dwelling. 

R-C2 is a residential district that is primarily intended for single detached, side-by-side and duplex homes.  Single detached homes in this district may include a secondary suite.

PROPOSED LAND USE: R-CG: Residential – Grade-Oriented Infill. 

R-CG is a residential designation that is primarily intended for rowhouses but also allows for single detached, side-by-side and duplex homes that may include a secondary suite.

PROPOSED PROJECT: Seven (7) attached rowhouse units. Detached garage structure with seven (7) individual garage bays. No provision for secondary suites.

PROJECT VISION: We want to give more Calgarians the opportunity to live mere steps from local schools, the West Hillhurst Community Centre, and great neighbourhood destinations like Dairy Lane Cafe and Vintage Caffeine Co. The proposed project seeks to add seven new rowhouse units in the established inner city neighbourhood of West Hillhurst.

CITY POLICY ALIGNMENT: The proposed development is supported by the city-wide policy goals of Calgary's Municipal Development Plan.  The Plan encourages the addition of new housing options in established communities, better and more efficient use of existing infrastructure, and more compact built forms in locations with direct and easy access to transit, shopping, schools and other community services.
