Referral – CD-1 Rezoning 4065 Victoria Drive

Summary

• The Association of Neighbourhood Houses of BC is applying to rezone 4065 Victoria Drive (Cedar Cottage Neighbourhood House) from RS-1A (single-family residential) to CD-1 (Comprehensive Development) to allow a three-storey replacement and expansion of the existing community facility.
• The proposed building would increase the floor space ratio from 0.60 to 1.41 and raise the maximum building height from 10.7 m (35 ft.) to 13.9 m (46 ft.), with a total floor area of approximately 1,934 sq. m.
• The new facility would include a 37-space childcare centre with indoor and outdoor play areas, an adult daycare with a commercial kitchen, multi-purpose community spaces, and administrative offices — all owned and operated by the Neighbourhood House.
• The site is located near the intersection of Victoria Drive and East 25th Avenue in the Kensington-Cedar Cottage neighbourhood, close to Brewers Park, Lord Selkirk Elementary, and Trout Lake Community Centre.
• The proposal is consistent with the Kensington-Cedar Cottage Community Vision (1998), which supports rezoning for non-profit institutional uses, and aligns with the Vancouver Plan and the City's 2022 Childcare Strategy.
• City staff recommend referring the application to a Public Hearing with a recommendation to approve in principle, subject to conditions outlined in Appendix B.
