Revision of Approval in Principle 8080 Yukon Street
Motion 33 · Council Meeting, July 14, 2026
Summary
- A minor height increase is proposed for the six-storey seniors housing building at 8080 Yukon Street, raising the maximum allowable height in Sub-Area A from 23 m (75 ft.) to 25.3 m (83 ft.), an increase of 2.3 m (7.5 ft.).
- The change is needed to accommodate new building technology chosen by the applicant to reduce construction costs and shorten the timeline; no additional floor area or changes to permitted uses are proposed.
- The broader rezoning, approved in principle at a February 2026 Public Hearing, enables four residential buildings totalling 903 social housing units, including 123 seniors units in the six-storey building and three taller towers of 26, 28, and 32 storeys.
- The project is operated by Kiwanis-Soroptimist (1974) Senior Citizens Housing Society, and the applicant sought the revision ahead of by-law enactment to avoid delays that could affect secured funding commitments.
- The revised height is consistent with the Vancouver Official Development Plan, Marpole Community Plan, and Marine Landing Policy Updates, which allow height exceptions for 100% social housing developments on a case-by-case basis.
- All original Conditions of Approval from the February 2026 Public Hearing remain in effect, with no changes to Community Amenity Contributions, Public Art contributions, or Development Cost Levies.
