Refer CD-1 Rezoning 396 Southwest Marine Drive

Motion 29 · Council Meeting, January 17, 2023

On Consent Location 396 Southwest Marine Drive

Summary

  • A rezoning application for 396 Southwest Marine Drive proposes to rezone the property from I-2 (Industrial) to CD-1 (Comprehensive Development) District, increasing the floor space ratio from 3.00 to 4.63 and maximum building height from 30.5 m to 79 m.
  • The development would consist of an 11-storey and a 19-storey building above a three-storey podium, containing a mix of light industrial, commercial uses, and a 37-space childcare facility to be turned over to City ownership.
  • The site is located on the southeast corner of Marine Drive and Yukon Street in the Marine Landing area of Marpole, currently occupied by a car dealership, with the Canada Line station one block to the west.
  • The proposal is supported by the Marpole Community Plan, the Vancouver Plan, and the Marine Landing Policy Updates, which encourage high-intensity employment uses in this area at densities beyond what the existing community plan allows.
  • Staff recommend referring the application to a Public Hearing and support approval in principle, subject to conditions outlined in the report.
