This application was approved by Council at Public Hearing on April 9, 2024.

We would like your feedback on a rezoning application at 1749-1769 E 33rd Ave. The proposal is to allow for the development of a five-storey rental residential building fronting 33rd Ave and a four-storey rental residential building fronting the rear lane. The zoning would change from R1-1 (Residential Inclusive) District to CD-1 (Comprehensive Development) District. This proposal includes:

  • 109 secured market rental units;
  • A combined floor space ratio (FSR) of 2.2;
  • A combined floor area of 6,626 sq. m (71,329 sq. ft.);
  • A building height of 16.7 m (55 ft.) (south building) and 15.4 m (46 ft.) (north building) with additional height for a rooftop amenity space in the south building; and
  • 37 vehicle parking spaces and 170 bicycle parking spaces.

The application is being considered under the Secured Rental Policy.

The previous application proposing to rezone from R1-1 (Residential Inclusive) district to RR-2B (Residential Rental) district has been withdrawn. Key changes from the previous version include:

  • Rezoning to site-specific CD-1.
  • Addition of a four-storey residential building fronting the lane.

The new application proposes rezoning to CD-1, as the site’s irregularity in terms of depth and slope meant an RR District was not workable. The site’s depth and existing rear lane provide flexibility for an additional rear (north) building on site, in keeping with the Secured Rental Policy (SRP). The proposed rear (north) apartment building appears as 3 storeys from the internal courtyard and 4 storeys at the lane, given the site’s slope. The proposal meets the intent of the SRP Policy and generally complies with the accompanying Residential Rental Districts Schedules Design Guidelines.

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.
