A proposed Manitoba Housing property is one step closer to becoming a reality.

City Council on Monday voted to approve a variance order that related to parking stalls at the property at 128 Hemlock Crescent.

The variance was requested due to the City’s zoning by-law, which would require the three-story 12-unit building to have 17 parking units. The variance shows six stalls on-site with overflow parking shared with a nearby location.

The City’s Director of Planning and Community Development Matt Boscariol has the details on what the proposed property will be.

“The development is to help lower income residence be transitioned. It’s not necessarily transitional housing; this is for people to live there in the long term, but it’s for those people who don’t really have that adequate income to afford normal rental markets.”

The motion passed with a 5-4 vote.
