New Westminster City Hall, 511 Royal Avenue

We recognize and respect that New Westminster is on the unceded and unsurrendered land of the Halkomelem speaking peoples. We acknowledge that colonialism has made invisible their histories and connections to the land. As a City, we are learning and building relationships with the people whose lands we are on.

OFFICIAL COMMUNITY PLAN BYLAW NO. 7925, AMENDMENT BYLAW (1135 SALTER STREET) NO. 8454, 2024 AND ZONING BYLAW NO. 6680, 2001, AMENDMENT BYLAW (1135 SALTER STREET) NO. 8455, 2024

Location: 1135 Salter Street

Proposal: Official Community Plan (OCP) Amendment, Rezoning, Development Variance Permit, and Development Permit applications have been received for 1135 Salter Street. These applications would facilitate a 45-unit townhouse development comprised of eight buildings with an overall floor space ratio of 0.793 and approximately 10% of the site area is proposed as dedicated park space.

The OCP amendment would change the site’s land use designation from “(RL) Residential – Low Density” to “(RM) Residential – Multiple Unit Buildings” for Area 1 and to “Parks, Open Space and Community Facilities” for Area 2. The site would be rezoned from “Queensborough Neighbourhood Residential Dwelling Districts (RQ-1)” to “Queensborough Townhouse Districts (RT-3)” for Area 1 and to “Parks Districts (P-10)” for Area 2.

The proposed Development Variance Permit (DVP) would facilitate the provision of tandem parking spaces, and vary a couple of the required building separation distances and the side yard setback to accommodate electrical room access stair projections. The DVP will be considered for issuance following adoption of Official Community Plan Amendment Bylaw No. 8454, 2024 and Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 8455, 2024.

OFFICIAL COMMUNITY PLAN BYLAW NO. 7925, 2017, AMENDMENT BYLAW (1084 TANAKA COURT) NO. 8483, 2024 AND ZONING BYLAW NO. 6680, 2001, AMENDMENT BYLAW (1084 TANAKA COURT) NO. 8484, 2024

Location: 1084 Tanaka Court

Proposal: Official Community Plan (OCP) Amendment and Rezoning applications have been received for 1084 Tanaka Court. These applications would change the land use designation and zoning of the site to allow for industrial uses. The site is currently designated and zoned for commercial uses.

In order to allow industrial uses, the applicant proposes to change the zoning from Comprehensive Development District (CD-82) to Light Industrial Districts (M-1). The OCP land use designation is proposed to change from Queensborough Commercial (QC) to Queensborough Mixed Employment (QME).

No form of development is proposed at this time. Future developments would require Development and Building Permits, which could include a variety of light industrial, office, and service commercial uses such as manufacturing, trade schools, self-storage facilities, and more.
