    K.S. asked about 1 month ago

    Thank you for your question. The application is 100% market rental and doesn’t include any social housing or below market rental as proposed. The units will be managed by a private landlord. The Engineering Department will review the project to ensure it meets all technical requirements when it comes to pedestrian safety and site circulation. Transportation studies are not a requirement of rezoning applications.

    Can I participate in the public hearing?

    Yena Choi asked 29 days ago

    In 2024, the Province introduced Bill 18 that requires the City of Vancouver to create a single city-wide Official Development Plan (ODP). Council will be considering the ODP at public hearing on March 10, 2026. If approved, public hearings will be prohibited for rezoning applications that are consistent with the ODP and propose at least 50% residential use. This application meets that criteria, and if the ODP is approved, this application would be considered at a daytime Council meeting rather than at public hearing. Anyone is welcome to attend a Council meeting and submit comments, however Council will only hear from speakers for rezoning applications considered at public hearing.

    Thank you for the question. Staff are still reviewing the proposal. The mass timber proposal falls within Tier 3 of the Transit Oriented Areas Rezoning Policy which allows for up to 8 storeys and up to 3 FSR. Additionally, because it is mass timber the Mass Timber Policy for Rezoning also applies.

    Thank you for your input. The City protects views from public space - it does not protect private views from private residences. Built form and site design policies in the Cambie Corridor Plan apply. Your feedback has been noted and shared with Staff to inform their review of the project.
