Why not just dine on whatever you find in the basement?

Old White Man On A Canadian Island
Posted 18 October 2024 - 05:11 AM
Victoria city council voted unanimously Thursday to move forward a proposal to replace the landmark Turner building on Richmond Avenue with a six-storey rental project that includes a new public plaza.
Coun. Marg Gardiner called the design of the proposed 55-unit rental project, which would replace the derelict 1940s-era building, “outstanding.”
“It gives a nod to the old Turner building while reaching forward to design for today and respect of resident and neighbourhood needs,” Gardiner said.
https://www.timescol...backing-9674471
The building is asking for a parking variance to allow just 13 parking spots for the 55 housing units. The regulations would normally require 87 parking stalls.
Coun. Stephen Hammond said though he thinks the lack of parking is a problem, he’s almost given up fighting the trend to approve housing projects with limited and in some cases no residential parking.
“I like the design. I thought it was very creative,” he said. “I’m finding I’m having to say ‘uncle’ on not wanting to vote against places just exclusively because there’s not enough parking.”
