Before things quiet down at the City during August, several rezoning applications are looking to be referred to their final review at public hearing:
The plan for this site on Fraser Street is to rezone from RT-2 to CD-1 to allow a 6-storey rental building under Rental 100 that includes 96 rental units and a total density of 2.61 FSR.
This tiny site is seeking rezoning to allow a 6-storey rental building that includes 27 rental units and a total density of 2.70 FSR.
The site is only 8,250 SF in size.
357, 375 & 391 West King Edward Ave
This Cambie Corridor site is planned for a residential development consisting of one 4-storey building and 2-storey townhouses along the lane with 41 market residential units and a total density of 1.88 FSR.
3503-3523 East Hastings Street
The plan for this site at Hastings and Skeena (near Boundary Rd) is to rezone from C-2C1 to allow a 6-storey rental building under Rental 100 with 87 units and retail at grade. The density is 3.95 FSR.
Morguard is indeed planning to move forward with their rezoning plan for 601 West Hastings Street (also referred to as 333 Seymour Street) to retain the existing office tower, and build a new 25-storey office tower.
The new tower would have a total area of 227,714 SF, which equates to a 24.34 FSR.
These applications will likely receive their public hearing after Council’s August break.

This project appeared a few weeks ago as a mystery development. It’s had an address in Mount Pleasant, a bit of a description: “To develop new mixed use building with artist studios and residential units” and a date for the Development Permit Board in September. Now it’s been to the Urban Design Panel, and we know the architects are IBI Group. As it’s proposed under zoning it can proceed reasonably fast.Source: Changing City
