Wawa Municipal Council's approved zoning by-law amendments meant to allow for a new multi-residential building on Broadway Avenue.
Council heard a request to rezone property at 25 Broadway Avenue from general commercial to multi-residential - while drastically reducing many of the usually required offsets from the property line - amid a proposal for a seven-unit residential building, though it was noted that an effort will be made to address a sewer line issue raised by a local resident, while Algoma Public Health made the only other comment submitted to the Municipality, stating no objection.
Chief Building Official Kevin Sabourin also spoke in favour, noting the property's current underutilization.
While the building would be located at the intersection of Broadway, Wawa, and Mackey - on the southern side of Wawa Street - parking would actually be located further south, at 39 Broadway, on a property currently being revamped across from the Municipal Offices.
