Council gave 3rd Readings to Official Community Plan Amendment Bylaw No. 8115 and Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 8116 on April 26, 2022.
Location: 1467 56 Street
File Number: LU009115
We want your feedback on a proposed 48-unit market rental apartment building located at the southwest corner of 14B Avenue and 56 Street. The following are key aspects of the proposal:
48 market rental units, including 5 studio units, 27 one-bedroom units, and 16 two-bedroom units;
5 stories (plus 2 levels of underground parking);
14.6 m (48 ft) maximum building height;
60 resident parking spaces and 10 visitor parking spaces accessed from 14B Avenue;
67 bicycle parking spaces;
1.96 gross floor space ratio;
3,373 m2 (36,307 ft2 ) total residential area; and
338 m2 (3,638 ft2) outdoor amenity area.
Principal Building Setbacks:
Front (56 Street): 4.2 m (14 ft)
Rear (West) 1.1 m (4 ft)
Exterior Side (14B Avenue): 2.4 m (8 ft)
Interior Side: (South): 10.9 m (36 ft)
Driveway access and pedestrian access would be from 14B Avenue.
To facilitate the proposed development, the following are required:
Amendment to the Official Community Plan by exempting the proposed development from the maximum permitted unit density, floor space ratio, and height under the Medium Density Residential (MDR) designation in Schedule D.1 Tsawwassen Area Plan as follows:
Increase the maximum density from 120 units per hectare (49 units per acre), or 180 units per hectare (73 units per acre) for one-bedroom senior citizen home dwellings, to 279 units per hectare (113 units per acre). This change would result in an increase of 28 units over the 20 units currently permitted;
Increase the maximum gross floor space ratio of 1.45 to 1.96; and
Increase the maximum building height of 3 storeys or 11 m (36 ft), whichever is less, to 5 storeys and 14.6 m (48 ft).
2. Rezoning from Service Station Commercial (C4) to either a new Comprehensive Development Zone No. 19 (CDZ19).
3. Development Permit to address the form and character of the proposed development, based on the Entrance to Tsawwassen (SD1-B) Development Permit Area guidelines.
In response to physical distancing requirements related to COVID-19, Delta will be holding a virtual Public Information Meeting with an online question and answer (Q&A) period in place of an in-person meeting for this project.
Please note that this application is at a preliminary stage and has not gone to Council for consideration; therefore, aspects of the proposal may change as the application proceeds through the review process.
