The City of Vancouver has received an application to rezone 800-876 Granville Street from DD (Downtown) District to CD-1 (Comprehensive Development) District. This proposal is non-compliant with respect to the policies noted below. We are seeking your feedback.

The proposal is to allow the development of a 17-storey mixed-use commercial building over four-partial levels of underground parking accessed from the lane. This proposal includes:

  • A building height of 79.3 m (260 ft.);
  • A floor space ratio (FSR) of 13.58;
  • A floor area of 60,527 sq. m (651,503 sq. ft.)
    • Retention of the Commodore Ballroom and Lanes (VHR category 'A');
    • Retention of the façades of the State Hotel at 876 Granville Street (VHR Category 'C') and three other heritage properties on site;
    • Approximately 100,000 sq. ft. of retail-in the first three storeys;
    • 50,000 sq. ft. of restaurant and cultural space at level 4 including a performance venue to be dedicated to the City;
    • Approximately 470,000 sq. ft. of office space; and
  • 98 vehicle parking spaces and 363 bicycle parking spaces.

The site is located in sub-area 'K1' of the Downtown Official Development Plan (DODP). The application requests consideration of height and density in excess of the existing policy. Sub-area 'K1' allows a maximum height of 27.4 m (90 ft.) and a maximum density of 3.5 FSR. Amendments to the Official Development Plan would also be required to enable this project.

The rezoning site includes a number of heritage properties, and as such, the City's Heritage Program and Heritage Policies apply. The application proposes primarily façade-only retention for four heritage properties on site, along with the complete retention of the Commodore Ballroom.

The site includes the State Hotel at 876 Granville Street, which is a registered Single Room Accommodation (SRA) building containing approximately 73 vacant units. The building is subject to the City's Single Room Accommodation By-law.

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