Chilliwack, BC – August 16, 2024 – The City of Chilliwack is currently reviewing a rezoning application (RZ001450) submitted by Rajinder Warraich of Flat Architecture. The proposal seeks to rezone properties at 9777 and 9795 Carleton Street, along with 46780 Yale Road, from an R1-A (Urban Residential) Zone to an R5 (Low Rise Apartment) Zone. This rezoning is intended to facilitate the development of a 74-unit apartment building in the Mountainview East neighbourhood.

The project aims to align with the Chilliwack Proper and Fairfield Island Neighbourhoods Plan as outlined in the 2040 Official Community Plan. The proposal includes urban improvements such as a barrier curb, sidewalk, bike lane, LED streetlighting, and a supplementary setback along Yale Road.

Community engagement was conducted by the developer in June 2024, and the proposal has received support from the local planning department. The rezoning application is scheduled for its first and second readings at the City Council meeting on August 20, 2024.

Pending approval, additional development permits will be reviewed to finalize the design and variances required for the project.
