The Director of Planning approved this application, and a Development Permit was issued on August 24, 2023.


Architectural Collective Inc. has applied to the City of Vancouver for permission to alter and convert this existing one-family dwelling to a Multiple Conversion Dwelling (Building 1) containing four dwelling units and, to develop an infill one-family dwelling (Building 2) at the rear of the site, for a total of five dwelling units, consisting of:

  • A proposed height of approximately 30.85 ft. / 9.4 m for the Multiple Conversion Dwelling building
  • A proposed height of approximately 25.25 ft. / 7.7 m for the Infill building
  • A proposed Floor Space Ratio of 0.85 for the site (approximately 6,220 sq. ft./ 577.85 m²)
  • Four parking spaces (two spaces at the attached garage and two surface parking spaces) having vehicular access from the lane

Under the site’s existing RS-5 zoning, the application is “conditional” so it may be permitted. However, it requires the decision of the Director of Planning.
