Refer Rezoning 807–847 East 33rd Avenue

Motion 27 · Council Meeting, January 17, 2023

On Consent Location 807-847 East 33rd Avenue

Summary

A rezoning application for four properties at 807–847 East 33rd Avenue proposes to change zoning from RS-1 (single-family residential) to RR-2B (residential rental) to allow a five-storey purpose-built rental building.
The site comprises four parcels totalling approximately 2,460 sq. m, currently occupied by four single-detached homes built between 1929 and 1946; there are four existing rental tenancies, meaning the Tenant Relocation and Protection Policy applies.
The proposal aligns with the City's Secured Rental Policy (SRP), which supports up to five-storey residential apartments on arterial-adjacent sites in low-density zones near transit and local shopping.
The site meets all SRP locational eligibility criteria, including being 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, concluded it meets the intent of the SRP, and recommend approval in principle subject to conditions, including a Housing Agreement to be enacted before the zoning amendment by-law.
The application is being referred to a Public Hearing, where the community will have the opportunity to provide feedback before any final decision is reached.
