“Onni Group has applied to the City of Vancouver to amend the CD-1 By-law at 1695 Main Street. The proposal is to increase the permitted residential floor space from 3.5 floor space ratio (FSR) to 4.08 FSR and increase the permitted height from 13 storeys (38 m) to 15 storeys (44.35 m). This zoning amendment is considered concurrently with development permit no. DE411865.”

955 East Hastings Street moves to public hearing next week. Wall Financial is proposing to rezone the site from M-1 Industrial to CD-1 for a 12-storey mixed use development including over 64,000 square feet of commercial and light industrial job space. The proposal would accommodate 352 residential units, 70 (20%) of which would be social housing units. The total density proposed is 6.15 FSR.

Staff and Council gave conditional approval on September 18 to move forward. A CAC of approximately $20.00 /SF was applied as an in-kind contribution towards the social housing component.
