    This project is being considered under the West End Rental Policy (or the “Criteria for 100% Secured Rental and Below-Market Housing as an Alternative to Inclusionary Social Housing in the Burrard Corridor of the West End Community Plan”). This policy secures below-market rental units which must be rented at a discount to the CMHC Average Market Rent for Zone 2 (English Bay). More information on the affordability requirements for below-market rental under this policy can be found in Section 3 of the Council report – here 

    This application is meeting this policy by proposing 20% of the residential floorspace as below-market rental, of which 70% will be rented at a 20% discount to CMHC Average Market Rent for Zone 2, and 30% will be rented at a 50% discount to CMHC Average Market Rent for Zone 2. 

    The applicant’s proposed unit mix can be found on their Application Statistics Page - https://rezoning.vancouver.ca/applications/1045-burnaby-st/statistics.pdf . To meet the ‘Housing Mix Policy for Rezoning Projects’, at a minimum, the application is required provide at least 35% 2+ bedroom units, met separately in both the market and below-market rental components. The application is currently meeting this policy requirement.

    The building height has been limited to minimize Shadowing on Davie Street as per City policy (The West End - Tower Form, Siting, and Setbacks Bulletin). The lower building height results in a smaller FSR when compared to other buildings in the area.
