What's being proposed?

Applications have been received for an Official Community Plan amendment, Heritage Revitalization Agreement and Special Development Permit to facilitate the seismic upgrade and restoration of the Holy Trinity Cathedral at 514 Carnarvon Street.

In exchange, these applications would also enable the development of a 30-storey, 6.3 floor space ratio (FSR) tower with 285 residential units, of which 14 units would be secured market rental units. The remaining 271 will be strata condominiums (market ownership units). The proposal would also include a new parish hall for the Holy Trinity Cathedral at the base of the tower, a public plaza and a publicly-accessible pedestrian pathway including an elevator and staircase connecting Carnarvon Street to Clarkson Street. The project also proposes First Nation interpretive signage/public art and programming space.

The Official Community Plan amendment would change the land use designation from Residential – Mid Rise Apartment to Residential – Tower Apartment.
