The city needs to start thinking outside the box to address the housing crisis Whitehorse is in, says Coun. Steve Roddick.
Roddick said last week he’s been talking recently with a lot of people who are affected in different ways about the housing shortage.
“Some posters have been put up around town,” he told his colleagues on council at their July 19 meeting.
“One of them said, ‘I had to put my dog down because I could not find a place that accepts pets.’”
That is just one of the many stories you hear, Roddick said.
He said the posters are being put up to make the point the housing situation is really bad, and it affects a lot of people in different ways.
Under the current zoning regulations, the city allows only one caretaker suite per lot.
The city has received an applicatioan to allow three more on the same lot with the development of a second commercial building on the same
lot, says the administrative report presented to council last Monday.
City administration is recommending that city council bring forward a bylaw to amend the zoning to allow for the additional suites. Council is
scheduled to vote on that recommendation this evening.
The existing building is a multi-unit building on a double lot with offices, light industrial shops and one caretaker suite, otherwise referred to as live/work units.
The City of Whitehorse has spent about $460,000 so far on placing small and large sandbags and on general preparation for flooding, senior officials explained at a briefing Thursday.
Mayor Dan Curtis emphasized the city is not currently in an emergency situation but is taking steps to prepare out of an abundance of caution.
Officials noted they have established five priority areas:
• The Robert Campbell Bridge;
• The low-lying areas in the Marwell area;
• Wickstrom Road, which runs along the river between the river and Whitehorse General Hospital;
• The Millennium Trail in general.
Sandbags have already been placed below the Robert Campbell Bridge to Riverdale.
