[Feathered Friend]

The City of Vancouver has received an application from Kasian Architecture Interior Design and Planning Ltd. on behalf of Vancouver Coastal Health Authority to rezone the Vancouver General Hospital (VGH) campus site, to allow for the long-term redevelopment of the VGH campus site over the next 30+ years. Ten phases with over 300,000 sq. m of modernized healthcare facilities in buildings up to 24 storeys are proposed.

• Long-term phased redevelopment vision to modernize healthcare infrastructure and replace aging facilities, addressing the immediate and long-term healthcare needs of the community and expanding service capacity;
• 10 phases of redevelopment with new buildings up to 24 storeys;
• Over 300,000 sq. m of modernized healthcare facilities, with a maximum site density of approximately 5.0 FSR;
• Near-term request to amend site coverage and density in the CD-1 (59) (Comprehensive Development) District By-law to allow for a new 11-storey Emergency and Inpatient Care Building on West 10th Avenue;
• Framework for redevelopment that ensures the hospital remains fully operational throughout all phases of construction;
• Zoning boundary adjustments;
• Updates to zoning parameters including uses, density, site coverage, heights, and building setbacks;
• Updates to open space requirements;
• Revisions to heritage conservation requirements, including demolition of the Heather Pavilion – a municipally-designated heritage building (see submitted Heritage Document(External link));
• Proposed changes to circulation and access, including vehicle access and drop-off, service and loading, bikeways, and pedestrian pathways (see p. 179-201 of Rezoning Booklet(External link));
• New heliports;
• A commitment to reconciliation; and
• A commitment to environmental sustainability and climate resilience.
