900-block Yates Street + 1045 Yates Street
An Official Community Plan Amendment and Rezoning Application has be submitted for Harris Green Village.
The 900-block Yates Street and 1045 Yates Street are located in the Harris Green neighbourhood and are ideally located within a 15 minute walk of downtown, the harbour, schools, shops and public amenities.
The sites are currently home to commercial uses including London Drugs, the Market on Yates and a small number of residential tenants.
Policy Context
The 900-block Yates Street and 1045 Yates Street sites are located within the Downtown Core Area Plan (DCPA) as identified in the City's Official Community Plan (OCP).
The project sites are located within the Residential Mixed-Use District. The plan envisions high density, mid to high rise development, encouraging mixed-use, multi-residential development, with public amenities that contribute to a complete community, including an urban plaza with an active public realm.
Changes through the years
The proposal for the 900-block Yates Street and 1045 Yates Street has evolved over the past 3 years as we continue to work with the community and the City to refine our plans.
