109 East 40th Avenue Rezoning Referral
Motion 24 · Council Meeting, May 9, 2023
Summary
- A rezoning application for 109 East 40th Avenue proposes to change the zoning from RS-1 (single-family residential) to RR-3A (Residential Rental) to allow a four-storey mixed-use rental building.
- The site is approximately 2,654 sq. m, located on the northeast corner of East 40th Avenue and Quebec Street, and currently occupied by a church built in 1956.
- The application is being made by GMC Projects Inc. on behalf of 40th Avenue Apartment Holdings Inc., and aligns with the City's Secured Rental Policy (SRP), which encourages purpose-built rental housing near transit and local amenities.
- There are no existing rental tenancies on the site, so the Tenant Relocation and Protection Policy does not apply.
- Staff have assessed the proposal and concluded it meets the intent of the SRP; a Housing Agreement would be required to secure the rental tenure before the zoning bylaw is enacted.
- Staff recommend referring the application to a Public Hearing, where the final building design would also be reviewed.
