Refer Rezoning 1977 West 41st Avenue and 5688 Maple Street

Motion 26 · Council Meeting, January 17, 2023

On Consent Location 1977 West 41st Avenue and 5688 Maple Street

Summary

A rezoning application for two properties at 1977 West 41st Avenue and 5688 Maple Street proposes to change zoning from RS-3A (single-family residential) to RR-3B (residential rental) to allow a six-storey mixed-use rental building.
The site comprises two parcels totalling approximately 1,646 sq. m, currently occupied by two single-detached homes built in 1925 and 1948; there is one existing rental tenancy on the site.
At least 20% of the residential floor area would be secured as below-market rental units, qualifying the project for six-storey height under the Secured Rental Policy (SRP).
The site meets SRP eligibility criteria: it is in an RS zone, close to public transit and local shopping, and on the first full block beside an eligible arterial road.
Staff assessed the application and concluded it meets the intent of the SRP; they recommend approval in principle, subject to conditions including a Housing Agreement to secure the below-market rental units before rezoning is enacted.
The application is being referred to a Public Hearing, where residents will have the opportunity to provide input before any final decision is made.
