The Director of Planning approved this application, and a Development Permit was issued on December 15, 2022.


Gradual Architecture Inc. has applied to the City of Vancouver for permission to develop a three-storey, two-family dwelling with a detached accessory building at the rea,r providing two parking spaces having vehicular access lane to the site, consisting of:

  • A proposed height of approximately 35 ft./ 10.6 m for the two-family dwelling
  • A proposed height of approximately 13.3 ft./ 4.0 m for the accessory building
  • A proposed Floor Space Ratio of 0.75 for the site (approximately 2,970 sq.ft.)

Under the site’s existing RT-8 zoning, the application is “conditional” so it may be permitted. However, it requires the decision of the Director of Planning.

Review of design guidelines applicable to one and two family dwellings in this district has been streamlined, as per the Council report of June 8, 2021, as a temporary measure for one year. On June 7, 2022, Council extended the streamlined review process for an additional two years.
