Public Hearing

MONDAY, MAY 31, 2021 AT 6:00 PM
Meeting to be held electronically under Ministerial Order No. M192/2020
 

OFFICIAL COMMUNITY PLAN AMENDMENT BYLAW NO. 8261, 2021 and
ZONING AMENDMENT BYLAW NO. 8260, 2021 for 823-841 SIXTH STREET

WHAT ARE THESE BYLAWS ABOUT?

Applications for an Official Community Plan (OCP) amendment and Rezoning have been submitted on behalf of the Aboriginal Land Trust Society (ALT) for 823 – 841 Sixth Street. The proposal is a six-storey affordable rental apartment building with a mix of one, two and three-bedroom units for a total of 96 units and a floor space ratio (FSR) of 2.3. Vehicle and long term bike parking for the site would be located on one level of underground parking.

The OCP amendment would change the land use designation from (RT) Residential – Infill Townhouse to (RM) Residential – Multiple Unit Dwelling to allow the proposed land use. The rezoning would change the zoning from Single Detached Residential Districts (RS-2) to Comprehensive Development District (823-841 Sixth Street) (CD-75), which would include a 50% reduction in required parking.
