CD-1 Amendment 6428-6438 Cambie Street
Motion 4 · Public Hearing, January 13, 2026
Summary
- Amends the CD-1 (730) zoning for 6428-6438 Cambie Street and 480-488 West 48th Avenue, near the Langara-49th Avenue Canada Line station, to allow a significantly larger building than previously approved.
- Proposed development: a 25-storey mixed-use building with 182 rental units (20% below-market rental secured by housing agreement), ground-floor commercial space of at least 200 sq. m, a floor space ratio rising from 3.91 to 10.30, and height increasing from 33.0 m to 77.0 m.
- Application assessed under the Transit-Oriented Areas (TOA) Designation By-law and TOA Rezoning Policy; staff noted the proposal generally meets the intent of both; a January 6, 2026 staff memo updated parking and public art conditions in Appendix B.
- Site is currently vacant; was rezoned in 2019 for a smaller 10-storey building that was never built.
- Two written submissions in support cited housing need and transit proximity; two in opposition argued the proposal exceeds TOA height and density limits and could constrain future development on adjacent properties.
- No public speakers appeared at the hearing.
