  • Share Hi, I'm wondering what the rationale is in the Broadway Plan for not requiring below-market units in a 25-storey secured housing building in the KBAB area on the map.

    The policy for this area is intended to provide multiple rezoning options rather than a singular path for development. 

    There is a higher/denser option for up to 9.5 FSR where BMR is required, but there is also a market rental option at a lower density, but without the BMR requirement. There are also options for office, hotel, and strata ownership housing. In having multiple development options for the area, the intent is to achieve a variety of different building types, scales, uses, and tenures.

    Why does the proposal include insufficient setback from the lane?

    BrianPalmquist asked 11 months ago

    Mixed-use residential projects in the Broadway Plan do not have a minimum rear yard setback requirement. Policy 11.7.9 states: Rear yard setbacks should ensure a more pedestrian-friendly lane interface, allow for appropriate tower separation, support liveability of residential units, consider solar access to the surrounding public realm, and mitigate overlook. Staff are currently reviewing the proposed condition.

    The Broadway/Arbutus South – Area B policy area (KBAB) permits proposals for a secured rental housing tower that is 25-storeys and 8.0 FSR with no below-market rental units. Please see policy table 8.6.1 of the Broadway Plan.
