CD-1 Rezoning Referral 2001-2025 West 41st Avenue
Motion 16 · Council Meeting, June 13, 2023
Summary
- A rezoning application for 2001-2025 West 41st Avenue and 5683-5687 Maple Street proposes to change the zoning from RS-1 (single-family residential) to RR-2B (Residential Rental) to allow a five-storey purpose-built rental apartment building.
- The site comprises six legal parcels totalling approximately 4,515 sq. m (48,600 sq. ft.) along East 41st Avenue, currently occupied by six single-detached homes built between 1970 and 1986.
- The proposal aligns with the City's Secured Rental Policy (SRP), which supports up to five-storey residential rental buildings on arterial roads in low-density zones near transit and local shopping.
- Six existing rental tenancies are present on the site, meaning the Tenant Relocation and Protection Policy applies and protections for current tenants must be met as a condition of approval.
- Staff assessed the application and concluded it meets SRP intent; they recommend referral to a Public Hearing with a recommendation to approve in principle, subject to conditions including a Housing Agreement to secure rental tenure.
- Final building design has not yet been determined and will be subject to a separate development permit process with further public review.
