What's being proposed?

Applications for a rezoning and an Official Community Plan amendment have been submitted on behalf of the Aboriginal Land Trust Society (ALT) for 823 – 841 Sixth Street. The proposal is a six-storey affordable housing apartment building with 96 units. The project affordability is set to meet BC Housing's Community Housing Fund.

The proposed development would have a floor space ratio (FSR) of 2.3, providing 20 three-bedroom units (21%), 37 two-bedroom units (38%), and 39 one-bedroom units (41%) which exceeds the requirements of the City’s Family Friendly Housing Policy. Vehicle and long term bike parking for the site would be located on one level of underground parking.
