SAGE HILL CROSSING

Sage Hill Crossing will consist of 2 mid-market rental buildings targeting folks looking to downsize, younger families, and working singles. 290 total units range from ~590 sft 1 bdrm to ~800 sft 2 bdrm, and ~1200 sft 3 bdrm units. In-house amenities include a gym, office space, and bookable social space. This development will complement the original area vision as laid out in the Symons Valley Community Plan, by bringing in greater residential density to complement the surrounding uses and amenities.

DEMOGRAPHIC CONTEXT

Sage Hill is a growing community, experiencing 6-10% population growth over the past few years. However, this is still below the growth predictions for the community by the City of Calgary as depicted in the graph below:

GEOGRAPHIC CONTEXT

The site of Sage Hill Crossing is located within the designated Mixed-Use Area of Sage Hill, which is also intended to be accessible by frequent transit routes (such as a Bus Rapid Transit service) in the future. Therefore this area is intended for a mix of retail, commercial, office and residential uses, where each residential building can have a maximum height up to 10 storeys, and the average residential intensity is expected to be 150 people/jobs per hectare.

As shown in the map above, this area is moving toward one of:

• Higher general residential density
• Mixes of residential and commercial uses
• A mix of building forms, ranging from lower density forms (rowhouses) to medium-density forms (5-10 storey apartment buildings)
• Good connectivity to regional walking and cycling pathways
• Good access to higher frequency transit

PROPOSED PROJECT

The project requires a zoning change, for which B & A Planning group submitted an application, and a development permit for which S2 Architecture submitted an application. Both are currently under review.

ZONING CHANGE

We believe Sage Hill Crossing will be a welcome addition to north Calgary as it will benefit future and surrounding area residents by:

• Further diversifying the housing mix in the community;
• Generating demand, and thereby improving the viability of existing and future local
  commercial development in the area; and

• Supporting public investment in important amenities, such as Bus Rapid Transit, a public library, and other neighbourhood institutions. E.g. bringing in the minimum 10,000 community residents required to initiate the development of a local elementary school

The subject site is approximate 1.30 hectares (3.22 acres) in size and is currently zoned for multi-residential development of medium height and density (M-2). The maximum height permitted under this zoning is 16.0 metres which could accommodate 161 units, in a 4 – 5 storey buildings. Sage Hill Crossing is intended to be a 290 unit residential development on the subject site of up to six storeys, and 20-22 m in height for purpose-built rental. Therefore the site will be rezoned to allow for High Density, Low Rise multi-residential development (M-H1).

As shown in the figure above, the figure in red outlines what the basic blocking of the building on this site could look like, if built to maximum height and lot coverage, according to existing zoning regulation. Conversely, the figure in blue outlines the same, if built according to desired zoning regulation. Note these are simply basic outlines to scale, devoid of any specific design details, which will be laid out as this application progresses.
