In January 2018, the MHBPNA formed a Development subcommittee to track new buildings and developments within and around the neighbourhood. Currently the committee meets once a month and includes 10 members from across the Mount Hope-Breithaupt Park area. To contact the development committee, email development@mhbpna.org.

Vision Statement

• Create neighbourhood engagement and monitor and respond to development proposals
• Establish a formal line of communication with the City of Kitchener Planning Department, the Regional Planning Department and City Council on building and development issues which impact the area
• Ensure that the PARTS and RIENS guidelines and proposed zoning changes (CRoZBY) are fully communicated to all residents and adhered to as new development occurs
• Design a communication strategy to 1) gather input from residents and 2) develop a formal line of communication with builders and developers in order to give feedback on proposed development.

Developments currently being monitored include:

• The Perimeter build at Wellington/Moore – on the Google property
• The Station Park Development
• The McDonald’s building lot on King/Breithaupt
• The old Staebler building/now vacant lot on King/Wellington
• The Regional Transit Hub
• The condo development at King/Louisa – added to the list because of construction/parking issues
• The residential build on Braun Avenue
• The Electrohome building (152 Shanley)
• Extend A Family building
• Sacred Heart school/convent
• The commercial development at Roger/Moore (City of Waterloo initiative but a traffic and neighbourhood impact)
