APPLICATION DETAILS

The City has received a proposal to rezone a 1.7 hectare (17,000 m2 ) site located at 9704 137 Avenue NW on the northwest corner of 97 Street NW and 137 Avenue NW and amend the Griesbach Neighbourhood Structure Plan within the Village Centre. The application was made by Dialog on behalf of the developers (Deveraux, Tacada and Forum).

Proposed Rezoning
The application proposes to rezone the property from the (GVC) Griesbach Village Centre Zone to the  (RA8g) Griesbach Medium-Rise Apartment Zone. The proposed RA8g zone would allow for the development of mid-rise, multi-unit unit housing buildings with a maximum height of 23 metres (6 storeys) and a minimum density of 75 units per hectare. The applicant’s stated intent is to build two, 6 storey (23 metre) tall residential-only apartment buildings with approximately 200 units total (117 units per hectare) and 271 parking stalls (171 surface stalls and 120 underground stalls).

Plan Amendment 

The application also includes an associated amendment to the Griesbach Neighbourhood Area Structure Plan (NASP) within the Village Centre to facilitate the proposed rezoning. Currently, the approved neighbourhood plan requires buildings to be a mix of commercial and residential uses with a maximum height of 4 storeys. The proposed amendment would allow for free-standing medium to high-density residential only buildings up to a maximum of 6 storeys (23 metres) at this location.

The City has not yet taken a position of support or non-support on this application. The City’s position will be determined by a thorough analysis of the proposal that includes technical considerations (e.g. traffic and drainage impacts) and alignment to applicable City land use-related plans and policies.
