282 W 49th Ave (Langara YMCA) rezoning application

Musqueam Capital Corporation, the economic development arm of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam Indian Band), in partnership with YMCA BC and Townline, seeks to rezone the site to a new CD-1 district. This will permit a mixed-use development that offers a diverse range of housing options and new community facilities. It will also provide a unique opportunity to secure long-term economic prosperity and self-sufficiency for the Musqueam people. This initiative aims not only to generate economic growth but also to empower the Musqueam people through ownership and active participation in Vancouver’s economic fabric.

The proposal is for a mixed-use development with three buildings at heights of 8, 33, and 37 storeys that includes:

• Community service focused replacement YMCA facility with associated childcare;
• 308 rental units, 269 strata units, and 88 social housing units;
• Commercial space on the ground floor;
• A total floor area of 53,928 sq. m (580,472 sq. ft.); and
• A maximum building height of approximately 122 m (400 ft.).

The application is being considered under the Cambie Corridor Plan and the Transit-Oriented Areas Rezoning Policy.

Application drawings and statistics are posted as-submitted to the City. Following staff review, the final project statistics are documented within the referral report.
