    All rezoning applications submitted to the City are posted publicly and application materials are posted as submitted by the applicant. Public posting does not mean the City supports the proposal. City staff will review the submitted materials and provide Council with a summary and analysis of the proposal and its potential impacts. City Council ultimately decides whether or not to approve a rezoning application.

    Thank you for your question.

    For the public consultation materials, staff post the content as it is submitted by the applicant. As part of the rezoning process, staff then undertake an independent technical review of all materials. The results of this review are summarized in the referral report that Council considers before making a decision.

    As part of this review, staff use the City’s own geographic data and modelling tools to verify view impacts and ensure that the public view analysis presented in the referral report accurately reflects the City’s established view cone locations and sightlines.

    The proposed public benefits for this application include providing 10% of the residential floor area as below‑market rental units. The developer will also be required to contribute through Development Cost Levies and a Public Art contribution. The proposed live‑work units are not considered a public benefit under the City’s policy framework.

    Is this tower in the protected view corridor and therefore under a height restriction?

    cjwolf asked about 1 month ago

    The rezoning application, as currently proposed, would impact the existing protected public view at Trout Lake (27.1).

     

    Furthermore, public view 27.1 is currently subject to a review process in which staff are recommending updates to the existing boundaries. If the recommended changes to 27.1 are adopted, the proposed tower at 2611 Victoria Drive would still impact the updated protected public view. You can learn more about the recommended updates by visiting the project web page (here).

     

    Council are scheduled to consider staff's recommended updates to the Trout Lake public views at a meeting on February 4, 2026. You can read the Council report for more details (here).

    gabs555 asked about 1 month ago

    This public consultation process applies only to the rezoning of 2611 Victoria Drive. Regarding 1883 East 10th Avenue, there is currently no Rezoning Application or Development Permit Application under review for this address. Any further questions about the property owner’s intentions should be directed to the property owner.
