Rize Rezoning

April 2011

Community Open House

The City of Vancouver hosted an open house event on April 12th to provide the public an opportunity to view potential changes to the rezoning application for the Rize site located at Broadway and Kingsway in Mount Pleasant.

In response to feedback received from the public during a workshop held in March, potential changes include: reduction in overall height from 26 to 19 storeys; reduction in density from 6.44 to 5.50 FSR; and reduction in the number of Short Term Incentives for Rental (STIR) housing from 62 to 20 units.

The project will include a 9,200 sq. ft. community art space to be used for the production and display of art.

The Mount Pleasant Community Plan, adopted by Council in November 2011, identifies the Rize site as one of three in the Mount Pleasant neighbourhood suitable for increased density and height in exchange for community amenities and exemplary design.
