948 Howe St rezoning application
The City of Vancouver has received an application to rezone the subject site from DD (Downtown District) District to CD-1 (Comprehensive Development) District. The proposal is to allow for the development of a 22-storey pod hotel building with:
- 408 sleeping units;
- A floor space ratio (FSR) of 18.5; and
- A building height of 62.4 m (204 ft.).
This application is being considered under the Downtown Rezoning Policy (Area H CBD Shoulder) and the Hotel Development Policy.
Application drawings and statistics are posted as-submitted to the City. Following staff review, the final project statistics are documented within the referral report.
The opportunity to ask questions through the Q&A is available from May 6 to May 19, 2026.
We post all questions as-is and aim to respond within two business days. Some questions may require coordination with internal departments and additional time may be needed to post a response.
Please note that the comment form will remain open after the Q&A period. The Rezoning Planner can also be contacted directly for any further feedback or questions.
