Description: The developer is planning to demolish an existing commercial building on Des Meurons Street in Winnipeg’s Central St. Boniface neighbourhood to construct a six-storey residential building containing 120 rental units. The project includes 65 one-bedroom, 50 two-bedroom, and 5 three-bedroom suites, with 10% of the units designated as affordable under Manitoba Housing’s Affordable Rental Program. The 41,389-square-foot site, currently zoned M1 (Manufacturing – Light) and located within the Established Neighbourhoods – Mature Communities policy area, will feature a building measuring approximately 122 feet wide by 279 feet long and 74 feet tall. Parking will be provided for 105 of the required 120 spaces, including 53 enclosed and heated stalls (five accessible), with additional surface parking on both sides of the structure. The proposal exceeds minimum bicycle parking requirements with 36 spaces and includes access from Gaboury Place. While a 6-foot opaque wood fence is planned, the development falls short of several landscaping standards for street edges and parking areas. An Alternative Equivalence Compliance for semi-recessed waste bins has been requested and is supported by Public Service.
