  • Subdivide a portion of 6005 Highway 17A and consolidate with 6115 Highway 17A to form one development site.

The proposed development is consistent with Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 8400, 2024.

Original Application Overview

The following were the key aspects of the original development proposal for the subject site:

  • Two apartment buildings with 58 and 80 units, respectively:
    • Six storeys, including under-building parkade;
    • 56 one-bedroom units ranging from 46 m2 (495 ft2) to 53 m2 (575 ft2) in size;
    • 80 two-bedroom units ranging from 77 m2 (832 ft2) to 82 m2 (881 ft2) in size; and
    • 2 two-bedroom plus den units each 135 m2 (1,456 ft2) in size.
  • A townhouse building with 15 townhouse units:
    • Three storeys, including under-building parkade; and
    • All units would have three bedrooms and be 125 m2 (1,350 ft2) in size.
  • A one storey amenity building with 234 m2 (2,519 ft2) of common indoor amenity space.
  • A one-level under-building parkade.

In order to facilitate the original development, the following were required:

  • Official Community Plan Amendment to change the land use designation for the development site in the Future Land Use Plan in Schedule A of "Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 3950, 1985" from Other Commercial (OC) to Multi-Unit Residential (MR) (no longer required for revised application).
  • Rezoning from Tourist Commercial (C3), Service Commercial (C4) and Comprehensive Development Zone No. 495 (CD. 495) to Comprehensive Development Zone No. 20 (CDZ20).
  • Development Variance Permit to vary Section 8.5.7 of "Delta Zoning Bylaw No. 7600, 2017" to allow tandem parking for 19 of the apartment units (total of 38 parking spaces) in an under-building parkade (no longer required for revised application).
  • Subdivide a portion of 6005 Highway 17A and consolidate with 6115 Highway 17A to form one development site.

Affordable Home Ownership Program

The applicant is also proposing to include an affordable home ownership program in this development whereby the owner would loan five per cent of the market value of the unit for a total of 15 apartment units, or $503,500 in total contributions, whichever is greater. If the total amount of the loans provided under the program is less than $503,500 then the owner would be required to pay the difference to Delta. The 5 percent value of the loan would be secured by a mortgage registered against the purchased property and would be repayable by the eligible purchaser to the City of Delta after a 10-year term, or when the unit sells, whichever comes first. The revenue would go into a housing reserve fund for Delta's use. Details of the affordable home ownership program will be secured through a housing agreement bylaw. There are no changes to the affordable home ownership program as part of the revised application.

Council Consideration

This application was presented at a Public Hearing on June 28, 2022 and the Official Community Plan amendment, rezoning and housing agreement bylaws were given third reading at the meeting which followed. A public hearing must not be held for the revised proposal as it is for residential development and is compliant with the newly adopted Official Community Plan.

At the Regular Meeting on November 4, 2024, Council rescinded third reading of Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 8144 and Housing Agreement Bylaw No. 8145, amended the bylaws, and gave third reading to Bylaws No. 8144 and 8145, as amended.
