119A Street Six-Storey Apartment Buildings

We want your feedback on a multi-unit residential development application in North Delta for two six-storey residential apartment buildings at 7702 to 7740 119A Street. The following are the key aspects of this proposal:

• The proposed land use is consistent with the site's designation in the North Delta Area Plan: Medium Density Residential (Scott Road) (MDR(SR)) which is intended for low-rise structures accommodating multiple-family residential use. However, the proposed density of 2.58 Floor Space Ratio (FSR) is higher than the 2.2 FSR contemplated in the designation, so an Official Community Plan Amendment is requested.
• The buildings would include 283 residential units with 13 studio apartments, 136 one-bedroom, 133 two-bedroom and 1 three-bedroom units.
• A building height of 6 storeys and 24 m to the top of a flat roof is proposed.
• Vehicle access to the site would be from 119A Street. Residential parking would be provided in two levels below the building, along with dedicated space for bicycle parking as follows:
  • 316 vehicle parking spaces for residents and 22 visitor spaces in the underground parking structure.
    All stalls would be provided with an energized electric vehicle outlet.
  • 283 resident bike parking spaces in the underground parking structure, with 10 visitor bicycle parking provided at grade.
  • The dedicated loading area and garbage staging area would also be accessed from 119A Street.
• The courtyard between the buildings would contain a 975 m² landscaped outdoor amenity space. Building A would also have an 850 m² landscaped rooftop outdoor space. Six indoor amenity spaces would be shared between the buildings.
• A 1.5 m road dedication and 1.5 m right-of-way would be provided to the City to enable sidewalk widening on Scott Road.
• A 3.0 m wide city-owned pedestrian walkway to the south of the site would be re-built, including paving and lighting improvements.

The North Delta Area Plan was adopted in 2014 following an extensive public consultation and visioning process for North Delta. Additional details of the Plan and vision for the Scott Road Corridor are available under "Applicable Bylaws and City Documents".

In order to facilitate the proposed development, the following are required:

• An Official Community Plan amendment to allow a 2.58 FSR, instead of the maximum 2.2 FSR permitted in the (MDR(SR)) designation.
• Rezoning from Townhouse Residential 40 (RT40) to a new Comprehensive Development Zone that would allow for an FSR of 2.58 and a height of up to six storeys.
• A Development Permit to address form and character in the Scott Road Corridor (SRC) Development Permit Area.
• Discharge Land Use Contract LU-74-43

This application is at a preliminary stage and has not gone to Council for their consideration. Therefore, different aspects of the proposal may change as the application proceeds through the review process.
