“It’s gone undeveloped for some time and this would be an opportunity for the city to allow more residential inventory,” said community planner Conor Britton.

He says the location lends itself to this type of build.

“It’s a good area for that sort of development as it’s close to the downtown, highway commercial corridor and other high density residences,” he said.

The public hearing is scheduled for Mar. 24 at 6 p.m. in council chambers.
