URBAN PLANNING ADVISORY COMMITTEE – MINUTES – 359th meeting / Monday, August 18, 2025 at 5:31 p.m.
⭐ Notable items (7)
The committee recommends approving a special project (PPCMOI) to allow a six-unit residential building at 56 Charlevoix Street. The project was modified to reduce its height by one floor to better align with the existing 'matchbox house' (maison allumette) architectural style of the neighborhood. No parking spaces are included to maximize density and preserve green space in the backyard.
The committee recommends approving a special project to allow the reconstruction of the Auberge du Lac Beauchamp motel. The project requires several zoning variances, including reduced setbacks and fewer parking spaces, because the original building was completely demolished during renovations, causing it to lose its 'acquired rights' status. The owner emphasizes the motel's social role in providing affordable housing and emergency shelter.
This item involves site plan approval for the subdivision of 61 Principale Street to facilitate the construction of a new 96-child daycare at the adjacent 59 Principale Street. The work includes replacing wood siding on a shed with fire-resistant material and installing a guardrail on the roof of the existing heritage stone building.
The committee recommends approving the construction of a three-story mixed-use building featuring ground-floor commercial space and eight residential units. The project includes a variance to reduce the minimum distance between parking spaces and the building wall, as well as a reduction in the total number of required parking spaces.
The committee recommends approval for Phase 1 of the 'Cap-aux-Meules' residential development, which includes 456 housing units in various configurations. The developer will cede over 52,000 square meters of land for natural conservation and provide space for a neighborhood park. The project includes a minor variance to exempt certain parking areas from tree-planting requirements due to Hydro-Québec power line restrictions.
The committee recommends approving the extension of Europe Boulevard between Pink Road and Vernon Street. This infrastructure project is necessary to provide access and underground utilities for a new preschool, primary school, and a future municipal gymnasium.
The committee recommends a minor variance to reduce the required parking spaces from 13 to 9 for a new 17-unit residential building. The project supports active transportation by providing 30 bicycle parking spaces, including 18 in an indoor room, and places all vehicle parking underground to maximize green space.

The committee recommends granting a minor variance to allow a 2-meter-high fence in the front and side yards of 20 Broad Street. Although the fence was built without a permit and violates current zoning, the committee accepted the request due to the specific layout of the property where the front yard functions as a backyard.
