DEVELOPMENT OF FOUR CITY-OWNED SITES FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING: INITIAL COMMUNITY Engagement PrograM

Advancing Affordable Housing on Four City-Owned Sites Four City-owned sites have been identified that have potential to integrate affordable housing throughout the community. Each site is located proximate to amenities, a range of transportation options and open spaces, as outlined in Figure 1 and Table 1. Together these sites have the potential to build 260 affordable housing units. In addition to the above, the Aberdeen Rental Residences will add potential for up to 210 units, bringing the overall opportunity to 470 new units. Located on Sexsmith Rd in City Centre, Council had already provided direction to engage the community and advance a rezoning to make the site shovel-ready for BC Housing’s Community Housing Fund. In the Province’s most recent budget, this fund was placed on hold indefinitely. Pivoting to federal funding opportunities is now the focus for this site. The site will not achieve the same level of affordability as would it have under the Community Housing Fund, as noted. Staff are currently on track to bring forward a City-led rezoning application and report to Council in Q3 2026.
