This application was approved by Council at Public Hearing on February 24, 2026.

The proposal seeks to amend CD-1 (566): East Fraser Lands Town Square District and CD-1 (567): East Fraser Lands Waterfront Precinct of the East Fraser Lands. Consequential amendments to the East Fraser Lands Official Development Plan will be required. The application proposes to:

  • Permit above-grade parking on Parcels 19.1, 33/34 and 35/36;
  • Transfer the affordable/social housing obligation from Parcel 34 to a stand-alone site on Parcel 30;
  • Transfer rental density from Parcel 33/34 to Parcel 19.1;
  • Update the maximum building height:
    • Parcel 19.1, increase from 18 to 26 storeys
    • Parcel 30, decrease from 22 to 6 storeys
    • Parcel 33/34, increase from 23 to 34 storeys
    • Parcel 35/36, increase from 16 to 22 storeys; and
  • Correct the 'live-work' use provisions in CD-1 (567).

No changes to the overall permitted floor area is proposed; however, the density will be redistributed between the sites, with the floor area allocated to below-grade parking being accommodated within the podium levels and additional height proposed for some towers to accommodate the permitted residential floor area. Please see the 'Application documents' for more information.

This application is being considered under the East Fraser Lands Official Development Plan (EFL ODP).

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