150 W 4th Ave rezoning and development application

We would like your feedback on a concurrent rezoning and development permit application at 150 W 4th Ave. The proposal is to allow for the development of a seven-storey office building. The zoning would change from I-1 (Industrial) District to CD-1 (Comprehensive Development) District. This proposal includes:

• A floor space ratio (FSR) of 3.97
• A floor area of 15,672 sq. m (168,690 sq. ft.)
• A building height of 28.8 m (95 ft.)
• 218 underground parking spaces and 94 bicycle parking spaces.

Please note the proposed height included on the postcard notification sent to surrounding property owners and stakeholders was incorrect. The proposed height of the building is 28.8 m (95 ft.).

The application is being considered under the Metro Core Jobs & Economy Land Use Plan and Policy on Consideration of Rezoning Applications during the Broadway Planning Process.

The rezoning and development permit application review process will take place concurrently.

The site is currently under construction with an issued development permit under the existing I-1 (Industrial) District Schedule. The development permit which was approved in 2020 allows for a five-storey, industrial and office building. The approved floor space ratio is 3.0 with a total floor area of 11,855 sq. m (127,602 sq. ft.). The concurrent rezoning and development permit application under review seeks to increase the floor area as noted above.

In response to COVID-19 (Coronavirus), an extended online question and answer (Q&A) period was held in place of an in-person open house for this project.
