Rezoning Referral 3539 Hull Street
Motion 20 · Council Meeting, June 13, 2023
Summary
- A rezoning application for 3539 Hull Street proposes to change the zoning from RS-1 (single-family residential) to RR-1 (Residential Rental) to allow construction of three-storey rental townhouses.
- The site is a single parcel of approximately 397 sq. m (4,271 sq. ft.) currently occupied by a 1918 single-detached home with two existing rental tenancies; the Tenant Relocation and Protection Policy does not apply.
- The application is being made by Jitendar Jagpal on behalf of 1153268 B.C. Ltd. and aligns with the City's Secured Rental Policy (SRP), which supports new purpose-built rental housing in low-density areas near transit and local shopping.
- Staff have assessed the proposal and concluded it meets SRP locational eligibility criteria, including proximity to transit, arterial access, and standard lot size and shape requirements.
- A Housing Agreement By-law would be required before the zoning amendment is enacted, securing the rental tenure of future units.
- Staff recommend referral to a Public Hearing, where the detailed building design will also be reviewed with the public through the subsequent development permit process.
