Belleville City Council is directing staff to release a portion of the former Queen Mary School property for an affordable rental housing development.
The package looks to maintain about an acre and a half for parkland, while moving more than three acres for housing.
Priority will be given to projects that utilize the former building.
Submissions will be scored on the following factors:
- Level of affordability;
- Number of affordable units and total units;
- Duration of affordability;
- Conformity with Zoning By-law 2024-100’s base zones;
- Construction completion timeline; and
- Adaptive reuse of the former school building.
Qualified submissions will be brought back for council’s consideration.
