    All public feedback on rezoning applications, including petitions, is considered through the rezoning review process and is an important consideration in any application review. Staff welcome and encourage public feedback which can be submitted via the comment form available on the Shape Your City webpage, or directly to the rezoning planner via email or letter mail. 

    The rezoning review process includes consideration of Council-approved plans (e.g. the Cambie Corridor Plan), policies, and guidelines as well as input from the public, advisory committees, and other City departments. The result of the review is a report for City Council that analyzes the application, summarizes the feedback received, and recommends to refer an application to a public hearing and whether to approve or refuse the application. The report may also set legal conditions and design requirements for approving an application. As the review process is ongoing, no recommendation has been put forward by staff at this time and feedback can still be submitted and considered. 

    If an application is referred to a public hearing another opportunity to provide input is available to the public, this time directly to Council. At public hearings, feedback can be provided to City Council for consideration in discussion and decision either by submitting comments or a petition online for consideration and/or by requesting to speak at a public hearing. 

    City Council decides on all rezonings.

    As you are aware this rezoning application is currently under review, which includes a technical review of the Rainwater Management Plan (RWMP) by Engineering. Staff note that the site is required to meet our requirements as established by the Rainwater Management Bulletin. Based on the submitted RWMP:  

    • The site will rely on onsite infiltration and evaporation to reduce the runoff prior to managing the runoff with conventional detention tanks. 

    • Stormwater from impervious surfaces is recommended to be directed to adjacent onsite stormwater infiltration and storage infrastructure, including planter boxes and on slab plantings.

    • Excess stormwater will enter a storage tank. The release rate from this tank will be controlled by an orifice and overflow pipe module proceeding tie-in to the City storm sewer. 

    • In the scenario where onsite stormwater conveyance infrastructure is unable to manage the increased flows, a combination of overland flow routes can be utilized to direct waters away from the site.

     

    The 10-year storm event detailed in the submitted RWMP is the higher requirement used for mixed-use and commercial developments and requires the development to follow more stringent flow rate controls to account for the additional usages on-site. 

    Through the rezoning review process Engineering reviews for all aspects of Infrastructure impacts including added capacity to the sewer system. Those reviews are ongoing and we are unable to comment on the addition of this development to the greater community at this time. More detail on the review of the proposal, including the RWMP, will be captured in the referral report for Council, and conditions may be applied as necessary.

    A phasing plan has not yet been developed. The rezoning application puts forward a proposal for redevelopment of the site which as you note is evaluated in accordance with the principles set out in the Plan. Should a rezoning application be approved by Council, a phasing plan would be required at future permitting stages to address the requirement to minimize disruptions to existing tenants.

One of the goals of the strategy is to minimize light pollution impacts on neighbours and environment. More information is available on the outdoor lighting design tips brochure.

    The location of the proposed rezoning is well-sited to encourage reduced vehicle trip demand.  The site is in proximity to transit (with transit routes along Oak Street, King Edward Avenue, and Cambie Street), cycling infrastructure (bikeways on Heather Street and W 18th Avenue),  and proposes to meet the minimum vehicle requirements of the parking bylaw, which includes provisions for visitor parking, loading, and bike spaces. As part of the rezoning process, Engineering staff include a review of the application with respect transportation impacts and, if identified, may include development conditions for off-site requirements to improve transportation operations and safety for pedestrians, cyclists, and motorists adjacent to the site.

The explicit unit mix was not provided at this stage; however, the overall rental housing mix is noted in the submission materials as Studio – 10%; 1 Bed – 51%; 2 Bed – 27%; 3 Bed – 12%.

    Under the Cambie Corridor Plan, for new rental housing on-site 25% of the net new rental floor area is to be below-market, having rental rates and operating requirements in accordance with the City’s Moderate Income Rental Housing Program (MIRHP). Under MIRHP, each building owner or their property manager will be responsible for advertising, qualifying and selecting eligible households for the moderate income rental units in their building. They will also be responsible for verifying that households continue to qualify every five years after they move in and when a household member moves in or out. More information on the MIRHP is available in this FAQ document.

    Wesgroup has noted they are open to the idea of partnerships to prioritize the moderate-income housing for groups such as VGH hospital staff, however they will not be in a position to make any commitments until the rezoning proposal receives approval.

    Thank you for your question. Rezoning consideration is guided by the Cambie Corridor Plan, for this specific site see section 6.3 Balfour Block (pgs. 159-161). Recognizing the residential character of this area and the existing rental housing, under the Cambie Corridor Plan, redevelopment of this envisioned as a vibrant family-oriented node with the addition of new housing options including a mix of townhouses, low-rise, and lower mid-rise buildings, reflecting the varied architectural character of the neighbourhood and public open space. The Plan also notes to ensure the design, massing, and setbacks of apartment forms create a sensitive transition to the surrounding neighbourhood.

    This rezoning application, submitted by Wesgroup Properties, is currently under review. Through the rezoning application review process staff evaluate rezoning proposals based on Council-approved plans (e.g. the Cambie Corridor Plan), policies, and guidelines as well as input from the public, advisory committees, and other City departments. As the review process is ongoing, no recommendation has been put forward by staff at this time. City Council decides on all rezonings through a public hearing process.

    Regarding construction timing, there is limited information available at this stage. This is a rezoning application made by Wesgroup Properties for the site, and rezoning is relatively early on in the development approvals process. Should a rezoning application be approved, subsequent permitting approvals are required such as development permits, and building permits. More information on construction plans would be available through these future stages of the development approval process. At this stage staff are reviewing the rezoning application in detail and seeking public input. More information on the rezoning process is available here.
