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.
There have been multiple opportunities for the public to provide feedback through the application review process. The process included applicant-led consultation and review by City committees. The review process has been iterative and revisions were considered, based on consultation feedback, throughout the process.
