Revised Application (December 20, 2021)

We would like your feedback on a rezoning application at 1728 Alberni St and 735 Bidwell St. The proposal is to allow for the development of two residential towers (30-storeys and 39-storeys) including a six-storey mixed-used podium. The zoning would change from RM-5C (Residential) to CD-1 (Comprehensive Development) District. This proposal includes:

  • 387 strata residential units
  • A floor space ratio (FSR) of 10.47
  • A floor area of 37,856 sq. m (407,483 sq. ft.)
  • A building height of 90.9 m (298 ft.) for the east tower and 117.3 m (385 ft.) for the west tower
  • 476 vehicle parking spaces, 22 visitor parking spaces, 2 commercial parking spaces, and 848 bicycle parking spaces

This is a revised application from a previous proposal submitted on December 23, 2020. Key changes from the previous version include:

  • Reduction of east tower building height by five storeys, bringing the overall building height to 90.9 m (298 ft.)
  • Refinements to the overall massing and form of development to limit shadow impacts
  • Reduction to the number of strata residential units and commercial space
  • Removal of the childcare facility
  • Reduction to the overall proposed density (FSR)

The application is being considered under the Rezoning Policy for the West End and West End Community Plan.

Rezoning Application (December 23, 2020)

The original rezoning application, submitted on December 23, 2020, consisted of a development of two strata residential towers (35-storeys and 39-storeys) including a five-storey mixed-used podium (previously described as a 30-storey east tower and 34-storey west tower over a five-storey mixed-use podium) with:

  • 401 strata residential units
  • 24-space childcare facility
  • A floor space ratio (FSR) of 10.88
  • A floor area of 39,337 sq. m (423,428 sq. ft.)
  • A building height of 105.23 m (345.24 ft.) for the east tower and 117.30 m (384.8 ft.) for the west tower
  • 499 vehicle parking spaces, 20 visitor parking spaces, 3 commercial parking spaces, 2 childcare parking spaces, and 853 bicycle parking spaces

Application drawings and statistics on this webpage are posted as-submitted to the City. Following staff review, the final project statistics are documented within the referral report.

    The evaluation of a rezoning proposal in this part of the city is evaluated based on a number of policies and guidelines. It includes the West End Plan, the Rezoning Policy for the West End, the West End – Tower, Form and Siting Administrative Bulletin. The height for buildings and form of development are governed by those policy documents for this area. There is a checklist and there is a process for a rezoning application and enquiry.

    The development is well-sited to encourage reduced vehicle trip demand.  The site is in proximity to transit (transit routes along Georgia St, and Denman St), cycling infrastructure (bikeway on Alberni St),  and proposes to meet the minimum vehicle requirements of the parking bylaw, which includes provisions for visitor parking, loading, and bike spaces. 

    As part of the rezoning process, Engineering staff include a review of the application with respect transportation impacts and, if identified, may include development conditions for off-site requirements to improve transportation operations and safety for pedestrians, cyclists, and motorists adjacent to the site.

    The proposal provides open space on site. The landscape plan will inform the future development with regards to green elements on site. That landscape plan is reviewed by our landscape planner and it is very common for rezoning applications to contain conditions of development for intensified urban agriculture elements.
