CD-1 Rezoning 855-865 West 10th Avenue Approval

Summary

• A rezoning application proposes to redevelop two lots at 855-865 West 10th Avenue (near Laurel and Willow Streets) into a 12-storey strata-titled office and commercial building.
• The proposal would dramatically increase the permitted floor space ratio (FSR) from 1.70 to 6.17 and raise the allowable building height from 10.7 m (35 ft.) to 46.4 m (152 ft.).
• The site currently contains two three-storey office buildings with no residential tenants, and is located adjacent to the Vancouver General Hospital campus.
• The application is supported by the Broadway Plan (2022), which encourages higher-density office and mixed-use development near the new Broadway Subway corridor.
• Staff from the General Manager of Planning, Urban Design and Sustainability recommend approving the application in principle, subject to conditions.
