Refer Rezoning 691 West 28th Avenue
Motion 30 · Council Meeting, January 17, 2023
Summary
- A rezoning application for 691 West 28th Avenue proposes to rezone the property from RS-1 (Residential) to RM-8A (Residential) District to allow for townhouse or rowhouse development, with a maximum floor space ratio of 1.20.
- The site is a single parcel on the northeast corner of 28th Avenue and Heather Street, approximately 657 sq. m in area, currently containing one secondary rental unit occupied by the previous owner.
- The application is enabled by the Cambie Corridor Plan, which identifies over 1,100 detached lots in the corridor as eligible for townhouse redevelopment, supporting the creation of approximately 8,200 units of ground-oriented family housing.
- The rezoning follows a simplified process, as it applies an established District Schedule (RM-8A) with defined heights, densities, and design guidelines — no architectural drawings are required at the rezoning stage.
- Staff recommend referring the application to a Public Hearing and support approval in principle, subject to conditions; the Tenant Relocation and Protection Policy does not apply as no lot consolidation is involved.
