Trouble on this project..
Staff is recommending that 3rd reading be rescinded at next Monday's Council meeting.
https://www.surrey.ca/bylawsandcounc...17-0159-00.pdf
Apparently the applicant no longer wants to be bound by the Housing Agreement entered into at 3rd reading - which would limit occupancy for a portion of the tower to student housing. The applicant wants the flexibility to rent units to the general public.
The project was granted a density increase and parking relaxations based on the dedicated student housing component.
Council can either rescind 3rd reading Monday and send the application back to Staff for revision (new design / less density - in line with what is permitted on the site)
or
Council can rescind 3rd reading and schedule a new public hearing for the project with a change to the housing agreement allowing for renting to the general public.
Will be interesting to see what happens.
