Victoria city staff will work with the developer to explore the possibility of adding amenities from a daycare to an event space, library, health clinic and play structures.
Victoria council has signalled it’s open to increasing density for the Roundhouse development in Vic West, but it’s likely to come with added cost to the developer.
The project envisions as many as nine towers ranging in height from 18 to 28 storeys with 1,900 residential units, 16 per cent of which are to be below-market rental units, 76,000 square feet of retail and commercial space, and 40 per cent of the site devoted to publicly accessible amenities. Alto said she expects when the project returns to council, it will hear what trade-offs will be required to make some of the amenities happen.
Council did make it clear it was willing to be flexible on density, however. Focus Equities had proposed a floor-space ratio of 4.75, while city planners had pushed for 4.0, which translates into a difference of about 400 housing units. Alto and a number of other councillors also tried to pass a motion to prioritize moving the project forward above all other city business. That motion was defeated.
