City-Led Community Consultation on a Rezoning Application (REZ00235)

Comment Period: July 4 – July 25, 2023

REZONING APPLICATION FOR 926 FIRST STREET

A Rezoning application has been received to allow construction of a duplex at 926 First Street, consistent with the Duplex, Triplex and Quadraplex: Interim Development Review Policy. The proposed side-by-side, ground-oriented residential units would have an overall Floor Space Ratio (FSR) of 0.61. Both of the proposed units would be family-friendly, containing four bedrooms. Secondary suites and/or a laneway house would not be permitted. Two off-street parking spaces are proposed at the rear of the site, accessed via the lane.

The proposal would be to rezone the property from Single Detached Residential Districts (RS-1) to a Comprehensive Development (CD) District to facilitate the project.

Images of the proposed development are available on Be Heard New West. This is the opportunity for public comment on the proposal prior to the application being forwarded to Council for consideration.
