Project Update February 7, 2025: City-led Consultation for this project has now concluded. Feedback received from the community will be shared back here, and with Council as they consider this application for first and second reading later this year.

What's being proposed?

A Heritage Revitalization Agreement (HRA) application has been received for 318 Sixth Avenue in the Queen’s Park neighbourhood. The application proposes to subdivide the lot, protect and restore the existing 1912 Knott House, and construct a new 213 sq. m. (2,289 sq. ft.) ground-oriented infill house with secondary suite. There will be no changes to the size of the existing heritage house with 0.5 Floor Space Ratio (FSR) and the new infill house with a secondary suite will have an overall FSR of 0.7.

The existing 1912 Knott House, recognized for its historic and aesthetic value, would be retained in its current location and legally protected through at Heritage Designation bylaw. The existing building is in good condition, with only minor restoration necessary, and the primary focus would be retention, preservation and on-going maintenance. The Knott House would not include a secondary suite.

The new infill house, to be located on the newly created lot, would be two storeys in height and contain a secondary suite within the basement. The design for the new house is generally consistent with the Queen’s Park Design Guidelines for New Construction. Parking for both houses would be accessed from the rear lane. As part of this development, two trees, one of which is hazardous, are proposed for removal. Consistent with Tree Protection Bylaw requirements, three replacement trees are proposed. Review by the City arborist is currently ongoing.
