CD-1 Rezoning 10 East 11th Avenue (with Yellow Memorandum dated February 5, 2026) — Public Hearing, February 5, 2026

Motion 1 Carried

Summary

Proposed rezoning of 10 East 11th Avenue to allow a 15-storey mixed-use rental building with 115 units (20% below-market) and ground-floor commercial space.
Existing tenants and nearby residents spoke in opposition, raising concerns about displacement, traffic and parking congestion on narrow residential streets, lack of one-bedroom units in the design, and whether the 20% below-market requirement adds meaningful new affordable housing beyond rehousing current tenants.
One speaker reported being asked to sign a waiver of Broadway Plan tenant protections when moving in; council asked staff to follow up and clarify whether such waivers are enforceable.
Applicant confirmed one-bedroom replacement units would be addressed at the development permit stage as required by conditions of enactment; staff confirmed tenant relocation protections apply to eligible tenants.
Supporters on council cited the need to add rental housing near the future Mount Pleasant SkyTrain station and noted tenants have right of first refusal to return to new units.
Motion carried unanimously.
