Noting it’s a “good infill project on a long-time vacant property” the city has approved a rezoning request for a six storey (75 ft.) 54-unit apartment building in a prominent downtown location. The proposal by Alta Nota Construction encompasses two current parking lots immediately across Goyeau Street from the Bell Canada building, also home to CTV and the adjoining Windsor Regional Hospital renal dialysis unit. There would also be 84 parking spaces, more than the 67 the city requires. The development encompasses two current parking lots bordering both Goyeau Street and Windsor Ave. immediately east. The rezoning changes land use in part from commercial to residential. The current neighbourhood is mixed-use with “low to medium profile residential uses, commercial and institutional uses (a hospital, school and religious institutions) as well as public parks,” a city report says. An open house was held a year ago with no one attending. Says the report, “The proposed development represents an incremental increase in density and provides an opportunity for residential intensification, while also supporting a complementary form of housing located near various transportation options and institutional uses.” While there is no street access now from Windsor Ave. new access would be permitted. During an earlier Development Committee meeting councillors had questions about future parking, especially for users of the hospital. Developer consultant Jackie Lassaline said the current parking lot is “rented by the hospital and typically empty but is not associated with the hospital.” A public alley between the two lots will continue to exist with the Windsor Ave. parking lot serving the new apartment building.
