A rezoning application has been filed under the City’s interim Moderate Income Rental Housing Pilot Program for a new rental project in East Vancouver. The site at 1956-1990 Stainsbury Avenue lies just West of Victoria Drive in the Kensington-Cedar Cottage neighbourhood. The site lies just a few hundred meters from Nanaimo Skytrain Station.

The total site area is 23,005 SF, and the plan calls to rezone from RS-1A to allow for a 5-storey rental residential building. The proposal includes:

• 80 rental units with 20% of the residential floor area assigned to moderate income households;
  • 28 studios, 22 one-bedrooms, 18 two-bedrooms and 12 three-bedrooms; 
• a total density of 2.59 FSR;

• 34 underground parking spaces (including two carshare spaces);

The application describes the public benefits of the project: “This combined affordable and market rental building provides the unique opportunity to add to the social fabric of the surrounding community and exceeds many of the minimum requirements set forth in the MIRHPP policy requirements. Importantly, there is no impact on existing rental units or tenants and as such, the proposed Stainsbury Project is a pure addition of 80 units to the City’s existing rental stock.”
