PUBLIC INFORMATION MEETING
1556 George Street
Hosted by Applicant
The purpose of the meeting is to introduce a proposed Official Community Plan (OCP) and Zoning Bylaw Amendment application. The application involves amending the OCP designation to allow development from a 4-storey building to a 26-storey building and rezoning the property from ‘CR-2 Lower Town Centre Area Commercial Zone’ to a property-specific ‘Comprehensive Development’ (CD) Zone. If approved, this will allow for a 26-storey mixed-use building with approximately 167 residential units over a commercial podium and two levels of underground parking. A Major Development permit is required for the form and character of the development.
The meeting is in an open-house format. The applicant will provide an overview of the project and will be available to respond to comments and questions regarding their proposal. City staff will be in attendance to introduce the application and the applicant, respond to any policy, regulatory and process-related questions, in addition, to monitor the meeting and report back to Council on the feedback received.
