⭐ Notable items (2)
The committee recommends approving a project to build a 10-storey, 307-unit residential building at 720 Saint-Joseph Blvd. This project replaces a previously approved 230-unit plan. The proposal was reviewed for wind and shadow impacts, which were deemed acceptable, and it aligns with the city's urban planning objectives.
The committee recommends approving an increase of 22 units for the 'Champlain 2' building, bringing the total to 178 units. This modification does not change the building's previously approved volume or footprint and remains consistent with the overall 'Champlain Village Urbain' development plan.

The committee recommends allowing the operation of a funeral home and crematorium specifically for pets within an existing commercial building in an industrial zone. The proposal is considered compatible with the surrounding economic and commercial activities and requires no changes to the building's exterior or parking.
The committee recommends approval for the construction of a two-storey duplex at 15 Des Servantes St. The design was reviewed to ensure it harmonizes with the existing residential character of the Gare village sector.
The committee recommends approving the replacement of aging red terracotta cladding with architectural aluminum panels at 145 Lamennais St. This change is intended to improve thermal insulation and address structural weight concerns while maintaining the building's aesthetic appearance.

The committee recommends a minor variance to reduce the width of a circulation aisle from 7m to 6m for a new eight-unit residential project. This adjustment was requested by the committee to reduce the amount of paved surface area on the property.
The committee recommends a minor variance to allow a home expansion to be built 6m from the front property line instead of the required 7.75m. This allows for the construction of a functional vestibule while still meeting the minimum setback requirements for the zone.
The committee recommends a minor variance to allow a one-storey expansion to a home in a zone that now requires a minimum of two storeys. Since the existing house is only one storey, the expansion will maintain the current building's height profile.
