Refer Rezoning 5995-6015 Dunbar Street
Motion 14 · Council Meeting, March 7, 2023
Summary
- A rezoning application for 5995–6015 Dunbar Street proposes to change the zoning from RS-5 (single-family residential) to RR-2B (Residential Rental) to allow a five-storey, purpose-built market rental apartment building.
- The site consists of three parcels totalling approximately 2,048 sq. m, currently occupied by three single-detached homes built in 1946; one existing rental tenancy is present and tenant protection policies apply.
- The application is consistent with the City's Secured Rental Policy (SRP), which supports up to five-storey rental buildings on arterial roads that are close to public transit and local shopping.
- The site is located on Dunbar Street, an eligible arterial corridor, and meets the SRP's locational criteria for low-density residential areas being rezoned for rental housing.
- Staff from the General Manager of Planning, Urban Design and Sustainability recommend approval in principle and are referring the application to a Public Hearing where the public and Council will have the opportunity to weigh in.
- A detailed building design has not yet been finalized and will be reviewed through the development permit process following any rezoning approval.
