APPLICATION DETAILS

Proposed Rezoning
An application has been received that proposes to rezone land at 11638, 11642, 11646, 11650, 11654 and 11658 111 Avenue NW in the Prince Rupert neighbourhood. The proposed rezoning is from the (RF1) Single Detached Residential Zone to a (DC2) Site Specific Development Control Provision.

The proposed (DC2) Site Specific Development Control Provision would allow for the development of a medium rise multi-unit housing building with the following characteristics:

  • a maximum height of 23 metres (approximately 6 storeys) with a transition down to 14.5 metres (approximately 4 storeys) along the site’s east side;

  • a maximum floor area ratio of 2.8;

  • a maximum density of 160 residential units;

  • limited commercial opportunities at ground level; and

  • primary vehicular access from 111 Avenue (service road).

Proposed commercial uses include but are not limited to child care services, convenience retail stores and restaurants. A full list of proposed commercial uses can be found within the draft DC2 provision.

The property’s current (RF1) Single Detached Residential Zone allows for single detached housing while allowing other forms of small-scale housing in the form of secondary suites, garden suites, semi-detached housing and duplex housing.

There is no local plan in effect for the Prince Rupert neighbourhood.

Application History

A rezoning application was advanced to the September 8, 2021, City Council Public Hearing which proposed to rezone four parcels on the site from (RF1) Single Detached Residential Zone to (RA8) Medium Rise Apartment Zone and two parcels from (RF1) Single Detached Residential Zone to (RA7) Low Rise Apartment Zone to allow for a mix of medium rise and low rise multi-unit housing. In response to concerns raised by neighbourhood residents regarding increased traffic impacts to the rear lane, Council referred the application back to Administration with the following motion:

That Charter Bylaw 19864 be referred to Administration to work with the applicant on a Direct Control Provision modeled off the RA8 and RA7 Zones that addresses site access off of the service road off of 111 Avenue and return to a future City Council Public Hearing.

The revised application currently under consideration is the result of this motion referral.

  • The original concept included a POPO (privately owned, publicly occupied) boulevard in front of the development. It has since been removed for vehicle traffic, makes sense. However, there is no longer any public outdoor space for enjoyment. It appears on the site plan that there is no space for it, unless a reduction of a few parallel parking as to extend the sidewalk out to create something for public gathering (bench, picnic table, green space, decorative elements, etc). In short, is there any plans for a public enjoyment space?

    The proposed DC2 Provision and appended Site Plan do not propose any space on site that would be considered accessible to the general public. The proposed DC2 Provision does require private Amenity Areas, though these spaces will be within the site’s property lines and considered private for residents and visitors.
