In the dog days of summer, Regina’s profile is about to
change dramatically, as several major development proposals march toward final
City Hall approval. Several related rezoning requests are scheduled for
council’s consideration at their Monday, Aug. 20 meeting.
Foremost is a rezoning request from the developers of
Harbour Landing, a commercial-residential proposal planned in southwest Regina.
Harbour Landing’s developers seek zoning to allow shopping
centres and “major arterial commercial” development west of the Lewvan
Expressway. This will require an amendment to Regina’s master development plan.
Further, Builder’s Development – an offshoot of
Toronto-based Dundee Realty – is requesting purchase of City-owned lands in the
area.
City council will also consider allowing a residential
development along Wascana Creek, between the second and third fairways of
Joanne Goulet Golf Course. The single detached homes will be surrounded on
three sides by the creek. The land is owned by Calgary-based HDL Investments, a
Paul Hill company.
Rezoning for the Qu’Appelle Diocese lands is on the blocks
in August, too, as is a proposal to re-develop Wascana Centre land south of 23rd
Ave., for townhouses and apartments. The latter development requires removing
the land from the Wascana Centre Authority master plan.
The full raft of rezoning and development plan amendments
was presented to the public in the Leader Post on Saturday, Aug. 4. Members of
the public have until 1:00 p.m. Aug. 16 to present cases for or against the
proposals. Anyone wishing to comment should contact the City Clerk’s office.
It is expected the proposals will be warmly received by
council members, many of whom are operators in the real estate and construction
industries. Below: The Harbour Landing rezoning request for commercial shopping centre development is indicated in grey. The numbers one through 10 show where housing will be imminently developed.
