Waive Presentation: 657-685 East 18th Avenue

Summary

• Council waived the staff presentation for the rezoning application at 657-685 East 18th Avenue, allowing the item to proceed without a formal verbal briefing.
• The site consists of three vacant parcels totalling approximately 1,118 sq. m on East 18th Avenue, currently zoned RS-1 (single-family residential).
• The applicant, Orrmoniz Projects Corp., proposes to rezone the site to RR-2A (Residential Rental) to allow construction of a four-storey market rental building under the City's Secured Rental Policy (SRP).
• The SRP supports this type of rezoning for sites in low-density zones that are close to transit and local shopping and located on or near eligible arterial roads.
• City planning staff assessed the application and concluded it meets the intent of the SRP, recommending it proceed to a Public Hearing for further public input before final approval.
