A property directly across from the Steinbach Regional Secondary School may soon be the site of a new multi-family development. 

Steinbach City Council was recently presented with a rezoning bylaw and Councillor Michael Zwaagstra moved to give the request first reading. 

“The proposal here is to rezone 205 McKenzie Avenue from Residential Low Density to Residential Medium Density. This would allow for the construction of a four-unit multi-family structure.” 

Zwaagstra says the next stage is to learn more about the proposed project.  

“This is first reading and that means that if we approve this, we will get more information at the public hearing in regards to exactly what is being proposed and the neighbourhood will have an opportunity to comment as well so it makes sense to go to the public hearing.” 

Council voted unanimously to move forward with the proposal. 

205 McKenzie Avenue is just east of the pathway that leads from McKenzie Avenue to Cottonwood Drive.
