2325-2377 West 49th Avenue Rezoning Referral
Motion 25 · Council Meeting, May 9, 2023
Summary
- A rezoning application for 2325–2377 West 49th Avenue proposes to change the zoning from RS-5 (single-family residential) to RR-2B (Residential Rental) to allow a five-storey market rental apartment building.
- The site comprises four legal parcels with a total area of approximately 3,688 sq. m, currently occupied by four single-detached homes built between 1923 and 1985.
- The application is being made by Intracorp Homes on behalf of Westward Development Nominee Inc., and aligns with the City's Secured Rental Policy for five-storey rental buildings on arterial roads near transit and shopping.
- Two existing rental tenancies are present on the site, and both are eligible for protections under the City's Tenant Relocation and Protection Policy.
- Staff have assessed the proposal and concluded it meets the intent of the SRP; a Housing Agreement would be required prior to enacting the zoning amendment bylaw.
- Staff recommend referring the application to a Public Hearing, where the detailed building design would be submitted and reviewed publicly.
