What happened
City Council approved the rezoning for the site at a Public Hearing on October 30, 2025; among Council’s conditions, the applicant must obtain approval of a development permit. Under the site's existing CD-1 (929) zoning the application is described as “conditional” and requires the decision of the Director of Planning.
The details
The application describes an approximate floor area of 7,522 m² (80,974 sq.ft.) and an approximate height of 88 m (289 ft.). Parking and loading are shown as accessed from Jepson-Young Lane.
Why it matters
The proposal is for 119 units of social housing in a building up to 25 storeys and roughly 7,522 m² of floor area, making it a substantial purpose-built social housing project by scale. Although rezoning was approved by Council, the development permit remains subject to conditions and requires the Director of Planning’s decision under the site’s CD-1 (929) framework.
