Prince Rupert Planning Applications

A  planning application (map) has been received for properties at 11104 108 Street NW, 11106 108 Street NW, 11110 108 Street and NW 11131 109 Street NW.

The application proposes to rezone the properties from the Shopping Centre Zone (CSC) to the Commercial Mixed Business Zone (CB3).

The proposed CB3 Zone would provide for a range of medium-intensity commercial uses as well as opportunities for residential development in locations near high-capacity transportation nodes, including transit avenues or other locations offering good accessibility.

Buildings could be as tall as 36 to 45 metres in height (approximately 10-13 storeys) with a maximum Floor Area Ratio of 4.0 to 7.0, depending on whether residential uses are included. This zone is not intended to accommodate "big box" style commercial development that utilizes significant amounts of surface parking.

A planning application (map) has been made to rezone portions of 11434, 11448, and 11508 120 Street NW

The current zoning is Medium Industrial Zone (IM).

The proposed zoning is Industrial Business Zone (IB). The purpose of this zone is to provide for industrial businesses that carry out their operations such that no nuisance is created or apparent outside an enclosed building and such that the zone is compatible with any adjacent non-industrial zone, and to accommodate limited, compatible non-industrial businesses.

A second component, the proposed closure of a portion of laneway adjacent to the site, has also been submitted. If approved the proposed closure area will be consolidated with the adjacent properties.

There is no plan in effect for the area.

Application History

A rezoning application which proposed to rezone four parcels of land from Single-Detached Residential Zone (RF1) to Medium-Rise Apartment Zone (RA8) and two parcels of land from Single-Detached Residential Zone (RF1) to Low-Rise Apartment Zone (RA7) to allow for a mix of medium-rise and low-rise multi-unit housing was advanced to the September 8, 2021 City Council Public Hearing. In response to concerns raised by neighbourhood residents regarding increased traffic impacts to the rear lane, Council referred the application back to City administration with the following motion:

That Charter Bylaw 19864, be referred to Administration, to work with the applicant on a Direct Control Provision modeled off the RA8 and RA7 Zones that addresses site access off of the service road off of 111 Avenue, and return to a future City Council Public Hearing. 

About The Revised Application

The proposed rezoning is from the Single-Detached Residential Zone (RF1) to a Site-Specific Development Control Provision (DC2). Learn more about the revised application.
