Recommendation #6: Private Rental Developments
Status: IN PROGRESS
Allow private development of multi-family rentals on private lands
Guidelines were endorsed by Council on December 5, 2017 and a process was endorsed by Council on April 24, 2018 to facilitate employee housing developments on private lands.
On September 18, 2018 Council authorized further review and processing of the following Rezoning Applications for rental employee housing developments on private lands:
- RZ1144 (2077 Garibaldi Way)
- RZ1146 (7104 Nancy Greene Drive)
- RZ1147 (1315 Cloudburst Drive)
- RZ1152 (2028 Rob Boyd Way)
- RZ1153 (8975 Highway 99)
The authorization for RZ1153 included that staff consult with the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure respecting access to the site from Highway 99 and receive a response within 120 days.
A public information meeting will be held for each of the above rezoning applications before a zoning amendment bylaw is brought before Council for first and second readings. Public information meeting details will be shared once meeting dates are determined.
