The City of Vancouver has received an application to amend the CD-1 (708) (Comprehensive Development) District By-law, which allows for the development of a 28-storey mixed-use building. The amendment includes:

  • Adding 200 “Temporary Accommodation for Medical Care” units;
  • Removing 200 market rental housing units;
  • Adding a childcare facility;
  • An increase in amenity area; and
  • A decrease of approximately 27.9 sq. m (300 sq. ft.) in retail area.

“Temporary Accommodation for Medical Care” units provide temporary accommodation for out-of-town individuals seeking medical care at local health facilities. The building will continue to provide 58 Moderate Income Rental Housing Units. No changes to the form of development, including height and density, are proposed.

The application is being considered under the Broadway Plan.

The previously approved application is linked here: Rezoning Application, 2538 Birch Street

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