Two rezoning applications went before Burnaby City Council last night for 4-storey projects in the Hastings Heights area of Burnaby:

4295 Hastings Street

Developer: Citimark-Omicron

Site: Currently vacant and previously a gas-station. 14,994 SF. Zoned C-8 (Urban Village Commercial District) 3.0 FAR density.

Proposed Development: 4-storey mixed-use development with retail at grade and three and a half storeys of residential above. The development proposes to take advantage of the potential C-8 framework allowing an additional storey at the rear lane.

418 Gamma Avenue

Developer: Epta Properties

Site: Currently vacant. 23,141 SF. Zoned CD from 2010 – the previous rezoning included office space which has proven difficult in the current market.

Proposed Development: 4-storey mixed-use development with retail at grade and 3 storeys of residential above. The rezoning anticipates a redesign based on RM-3 and C-2 to scrap the office component.
