What BC law allows here
This lot is in a transit-oriented area: BC law lets the city approve buildings up to 8 storeys here.
If this lot were rezoned
| Floor space | Homes | Land $/buildable ft² | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Today's zoning (RM-5B) from the city's bylaw, FAR 2.75 | 6,986 ft² | about 8 | $100 |
| Transit-area rezoning (Bill 47) the city must allow at least 8 storeys, FAR 3.00 | 7,621 ft² | about 9 | $92 |
Rough planning numbers: homes assume about 85% sellable floor space and 750 ft² apartments (1,100 ft² for houses and townhouses). Transit-area figures are the minimum a city must allow on a rezoning, not an approval. Land cost uses the assessed land value. Confirm with the city.
