RESIDENTIAL ZONE REGULATIONS

Page 6.35
Medium Rise District
The Medium Rise District is to provide primarily for medium-rise
residential land use. It will provide for the retention and development of
buildings of a height intermediate between house-form buildings and
existing and future high-rise apartments.
(4)
High Rise District
The High Rise District is to provide primarily for high-rise residential land
use.
(5)
College Avenue
The College Avenue District limits the height of buildings to a maximum
of 8.25 metres to 15 metres under an inclined plane to conform with the
height of existing trees and house-form buildings on College Avenue, and
protects important vistas from the Transitional Area to Wascana Centre.
Residential accessory and service uses have been included in the zone to
serve the needs of neighbourhood residents.
(6)
Commercial Uses
The development of specific types of commercial uses in house-form
buildings, in particular those uses which tend to be small scale, low traffic
generating and compatible with the residential area, has been
accommodated in the Discretionary Use category as "House-Form
Commercial Buildings." These uses have been provided for in an effort to
preserve the existing house-forms which, in combination with sensitive
infill development, maintain the unique and often heritage-significant
streetscapes. Accordingly, the development of future commercial use in
this zone is to remain secondary to residential use. Commercial land use
within the Transitional Residential Zone shall occur only on the basis that
the proposed commercial use will be a benefit to the area and be
complementary to land uses in the area.
(7)
Apartments
Although apartment dwelling units and seniors assisted living apartment
buildings are discretionary uses in this zone, the form and massing of
buildings will be restricted in accordance with the provisions of this zone.
