5505-5585 Oak St (Shawn Oaks) enhanced rezoning proposal
We would like your feedback on a proposed development at 5505-5585 Oak St (Shawn Oaks).
The City of Vancouver is hosting a pre-application consultation to get early feedback on this “Unique Site” in the Cambie Corridor. Unique Sites are subject to an enhanced rezoning process (site design) to provide further information and review of proposals at an early stage due to the large scale and complexity of the site.
The Cambie Corridor Plan contains policy for this site to be rezoned to provide diverse, affordable, and family-oriented housing options in the neighbourhood, while improving neighbourhood connections and strengthening the pedestrian experience along Oak Street. New development will incorporate the existing character elements of the site, including retention of mature large trees and integration of generous on-site open space.
The City of Vancouver has received an enhanced rezoning proposal to rezone the subject site to permit the development of:
- A 33-storey and a 31-storey residential strata buildings with a six-storey podium;
- A six-storey residential building with approximately 180 social housing units (20% of the site’s residential floor area);
- A one-storey building for a 37-space childcare; and
- A floor space ratio (FSR) of 4.0.
Getting started:
- Learn more about the Unique Sites in the Cambie Corridor Plan.
- Review the enhanced rezoning proposal.
Provide your feedback:
- Submit an idea to the ideas page.
- Complete a comment form.
An in-person information session will be held on Thursday, July 11, 2024 from 5:30pm to 8:30pm at
5251 Oak Street (VanDusen Gardens Floral Hall).
Feedback at the pre-application stage will be used to inform a future rezoning application on this site. Additional opportunities for feedback will be available during the formal rezoning application stage.

The Cambie Corridor Plan seeks a childcare facility, as well as 20% of residential floor area to be dedicated to affordable housing. Does this proposal’s six-storey social housing building and 37-space childcare improve the amount of public benefits for the surrounding neighbourhoods?
