650 W 41st Ave (Oakridge Centre) rezoning application

We would like your feedback on a rezoning application at 650 W 41st Ave (Oakridge Centre). The proposal is to increase building heights above those approved in the Oakridge Design Guidelines (2018), ranging from increases of 1 m to 30 m to allow up to 9 additional storeys. The proposed changes include changing building form such as tower floor plate size; converting strata apartment floor area to rental floor area; and adding new office space. The zoning changes would amend the existing CD-1 (1) (Comprehensive Development) District. This proposal includes:

• 775 new housing units, including 319 additional market rental units and 94 moderate income rental units
• 377,260 sq. ft. of new office space
• Increase in floor space ratio (FSR) from 3.71 to 4.10
• Residential floor area of 281,593 sq. m (3,031,042 sq. ft.)
• Non-residential floor area of 187,345 sq. m (2,016,565 sq. ft.)
• Increase maximum heights for Buildings 2, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 and the northeast office building
• Increase exclusions from floor area for balconies and amenity areas
