REVISED Rezoning and Development Permit Application - 1401 Comox Street (DE413347)
Feedback
On November 30, 2011, Henriquez Partners Architects submitted a revised concurrent rezoning and development permit application to rezone 1401 Comox Street from RM-5 (Multiple Residential) District to CD-1 (Comprehensive Development) district. The proposal is for a 22–storey market rental residential tower, with townhouses at grade. The purpose of the rezoning is:
- To increase the density from the RM-5 maximum floor space ratio (FSR) of 1.5 to 7.14 FSR (i.e. the total building floor area permitted would be equal to 7.14 times the site area instead of 1.5 times); and
- To increase the height from the RM-5 maximum discretionary height of 58 m (190 ft.) to 61 m (200 ft.).
OPTION: This proposal includes the "greening" of Broughton Street, between Comox Street and the lane to the north of the site, by closing the street and adding more green space.
