Due to the Canada Post Strike, we were unable to send out postcard notifications to inform the public about this upcoming Q&A scheduled from October 8th to October 21st, 2025. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding.

The City of Vancouver has received an application to rezone the subject site from C-1 (Commercial Inclusive) District and RT-5 (Residential) District to CD-1 (Comprehensive Development) District. The proposal is to allow for the development of a 33-storey mixed-use building with a 6-storey podium, and includes:

  • 352 rental units with 20% of the floor area for below-market units;
  • Commercial space on the ground floor;
  • A floor space ratio (FSR) of 13.3; and
  • A building height of 106 m (349 ft.) with additional height for rooftop amenity space.

This application is being considered under the Transit-Oriented Areas Rezoning Policy in the Grandview-Woodland Community Plan area. It requests consideration of density and height in excess of the existing policy.

The City’s Tenant Relocation and Protection Policy applies to this site. This policy provides assistance and protections to eligible renters impacted by redevelopment activity. To learn more visit: vancouver.ca/protecting-tenants.

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

Q&A

The opportunity to ask questions through the Q&A is available from October 8 to October 21, 2025. 

We post all questions as-is and aim to respond within two business days. Some questions may require coordination with internal departments and additional time may be needed to post a response.

Please note that the comment form will remain open after the Q&A period. The Rezoning Planner can also be contacted directly for any further feedback or questions.

    Thank you for your question. Please note that this request goes beyond the scope of the purpose of this public engagement, which is focussed on this particular rezoning proposal.

    Thanks for reaching out and sharing your concerns with us. Your opposition to this project is noted. However, the City strives to create a welcoming and safe environment for everyone. So for any future communication with City staff, please review the below moderation rules and terms of use. Threats, insults, intimidation and abusive language are not tolerated. Please also note that information about a building's future residents such as their race, gender, level of income, private healthcare needs, or sexual orientation does not factor into the staff's recommendations to City Council regarding the rezoning application.

    https://www.shapeyourcity.ca/moderation

    https://www.shapeyourcity.ca/terms

    Please also note that the City as per Council direction processes all rezoning applications submitted to the City and posts them “as is” on Shape your City. That does not imply staff support. Staff review of this project is currently underway. Please note that the City is also bound by Provincial legislation (Bill 47) and that the site therefore also falls under the Transit-Oriented Development Rezoning Policy (TOA). That said, the proposal exceeds the height and density anticipated in this policy.

    Thank you for your question. The proposed development is required to comply with the Parking By-law with respect to off-street vehicle parking spaces and well-sited to encourage reduced vehicle trip and parking demand. A Transportation Demand Management Plan will also be required which helps to further reduce development demand for vehicle trips and parking. As part of the rezoning process, Engineering staff include a review of the application with respect to 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.

    PB WOODWARD asked 1 day ago

    Thank you for your follow up question. This application is being considered under the Transit-Oriented Areas Rezoning Policy in the Grandview-Woodland Community Plan area. As the TOA is providing more height and density, it is considered under that policy but the Grandview Woodland build form guidelines still apply, as per TOA rezoning policy. 

    The project requests consideration of density and height in excess of the existing policy. The project is located in Tier 2 of the TOA, which allows up to 12 storeys or 4 FSR. Depending on the site, the Grandview-Woodland community plan either allows for courtyard rowhouses/traditional rowhouse (3.5 storeys) or apartments (6 storeys/3FSR), depending on the specific site. For this site, the Grandview-Woodland community plan also envisions commercial uses on the ground floor and office on the 2nd floor is encouraged. Staff review of the project is currently underway. Application materials are posted as-submitted to the City.

    Thank you for your question. The proposal includes a parcel with a community garden that was established on private land in partnership with garden operators. There is currently no policy that requires to replace gardens on private land that are lost to redevelopment. Replacing these gardens is solely up to the landowner.

    PB WOODWARD asked 1 day ago

    During the application process, staff inform the community in a variety of ways. First, we always put up a site sign so that folks can visibly see the proposal in person. Second, we create an online application page to allow people to comment from anywhere. Finally, we usually circulate postcards with Canada Post. Unfortunately, due to the Canada Post strike, the City is unable to send out the notification postcards in time for the Q&A. 

    Please note that even after the Q&A period, members of the public are welcomed to forward additional questions or comments to the rezoning planner via email. The comments tab stays also open beyond the Q&A period. All feedback; input and concerns will inform the review of the rezoning application. The staff referral report to Council on this application will include a summary of feedback (comments, questions, phone calls and emails received) the community provided for Council’s consideration. Prior to and during the Public Hearing the public will be able to again provide written and in-person feedback to Council.
