The City of Burnaby adopted the final draft version of their updated Official Community Plan, to be forwarded to public hearing and final adoption this fall.

The final version of the OCP is the culmination of a multi-year process that was most recently accelerated by the new Provincial legislation.

The final draft of the OCP can be viewed here:

The approval process:

The new OCP arrives concurrently with Burnaby’s new ‘Height Based Zoning Framework’ which removes the previous rezoning designations and replaces them with a new height based model.

Implications for rezoning and property values remain to be seen, but the new framework is expected to create more transparency in the overall process.

Onni has submitted a rezoning application for the next phase of their Gilmore Place project in the Brentwood area of Burnaby. The first two condo towers have received occupancy in 2024. The first phase includes three towers.

Phase 2 of the project also includes three towers. The first tower of this phase was originally envisioned as a highrise office tower, but has now been revised to residential.

Onni is proposing to deliver the non-market inclusionary units envisioned in the second and third phase in Tower 4, originally envisioned as a 30-storey office tower, and now a 65-storey, 759 unit residential tower.

The revised proposal for Tower 4 includes:

• 509 condo units;
• 250 non-market rental units;
• a 2-storey commercial podium;
• a 7-level parkade that will serve all of Phase 2 (three towers).

Charlie Hughes and I are pleased to introduce this 12,508 SF woodframe development site in the Edmonds area of Burnaby.

The site is located within the Edmonds Community Plan area which is expected to be finalized by Burnaby City Council in Spring 2025.
