Regular Council Meeting

Introduction

Bowen Island Municipality has received an application for a Development Variance Permit to allow for increased floor area to these two lots to be consolidated and a fourplex to be built on the site. The current amended application would seek an increase in the Floor Space Ratio (FSR) permitted in the zone from the allowed 0.85 to a maximum of 1.022 FSR.

This application was originally introduced to Council at the May 8, 2023 Regular Council Meeting. The applicant has subsequently amended their application to reduce the scope of the variance requested. Municipal staff introduced the amended application to Council at the January 22^nd, 2024 meeting.

Project Description

As mentioned above, this application is to increase the maximum floor area on the site from a maximum of 465 sq. m. to a maximum of 559 sq. m. (through increasing the Floor Square Ratio from 0.85 to 1.022). The applicant is also proposing that restrictions be placed on one unit, such that it be required to be a rental unit for the first five years after an Occupancy Permit is issued.
