Transit-Oriented Area — Tier 3
~440 m from Langara — 49th Avenue SkyTrain station
Provincial law requires the city to allow at least 3.0 FAR and 8 storeys for residential here — well above typical single-family zoning. Potential land-assembly interest from developers.
Multiplex potential: on a ~680 m² lot, BC’s small-scale housing law requires the municipality to allow at least 4 units (up to 6 near frequent transit), where it applies.
~440 m straight-line to Langara — 49th Avenue SkyTrain
Screening estimate from provincial regulations (TOA station points, B.C. Reg. 263/2023 & 265/2023; small-scale multi-unit housing rules). Distances are straight-line; actual TOA maps are set by municipal bylaw and some parcels (heritage, ALR, exempt areas) are excluded. Confirm with the municipality before relying on it.
