Consultation has concluded.


A Building Permit was issued on August 15, 2022.


We would like your feedback on a 198-unit affordable seniors and family housing development to be constructed in two phases. The proposed development would be non-market rental housing with rents set at levels affordable for households with low, moderate, and middle incomes.


The following are the key aspects of the proposal on Evergreen Lane:

Phase 1 includes:

  • 130 seniors’ housing units in a four-storey apartment building on the north portion of the site;
  • 65 resident parking spaces and 12 visitor parking spaces accessed from Evergreen Lane;
  • 8,668 m2 (93,302 ft2 ) total residential area; and
  • 15.9 m (52 ft) maximum building height


Phase 2 includes:

  • 68 family housing units in a 48-unit four-storey apartment building and a 20-unit three-storey townhouse building on the south portion of the site;
  • 83 resident parking spaces and 7 visitor parking spaces;
  • 6,959 m2 (74,906 ft2 ) total residential area; and
  • 14.7 m (48 ft) maximum building height for apartments
  • 14 m (46 ft) maximum building height for townhouses


Phase 1 and 2, includes:

  • Principal Building Setbacks:
  1. Front (Evergreen Lane): Phase 1: 5 m (16 ft) and Phase 2: 7.2 m (24 ft)
  2. Rear (West): 7.5 m (25 ft)
  3. Side (North): 5.5 m (18 ft)
  4. Side (South): 7.5 m (25 ft)
  • Driveway access and pedestrian access would be from Evergreen Lane.

In order to facilitate the proposed development, the following are required:

  1. Amendment to the Official Community Plan by changing the land use designation in the Ladner Future Land Use Plan in Schedule B.3 from Medium Density Residential (MDR), which allows a maximum density of 120 units per hectare (49 units per acre) to a new Official Community Plan designation, which would allow for the proposed density of 153 units per hectare (62 units per acre). This change would result in an increase of 45 units over the 153 units currently permitted.

  2. Rezoning from Apartment Residential 20 (RA20) to a new Apartment and Townhouse Residential 180(R) [RA180(R)] Zone.

  3. Development Variance Permit to vary: the minimum setback to the principal building on the north side; setback requirements to allow for entry structures, roof eaves and gutters, stairs and walkways, balconies and patios; resident and visitor parking requirements; resident and visitor accessible parking requirements; loading space for Phase 1 (Seniors Housing); bicycle parking requirements for Phase 1 (Seniors Housing); and front yard surface parking for Phase 2 (Family Housing).

  4. Development Permit to address the form and character of the proposed development, based on the Ladner Village (LV1) Development Permit Area guidelines.

  5. Consolidation of 3 lots into 1 lot.

    Does this plan get Delta closer to reaching non-market housing targets?

    darrendemelo asked over 5 years ago

    Thank you for your question. Delta does not have non-market housing targets at this time, but it is something that can be considered in future. For this proposal, the current 119 units on the sites would be replaced with 198 new units if the project is approved, which would result in an increase of 79 additional affordable housing units to Delta's non-market housing stock.

    Thanks for your question. Should the project be approved, sidewalks upgraded to local road standards with smooth transitions to existing sidewalks north and south of the subject properties would be implemented.

    Will there be subsidized housing for those on disability or restricted income?

    Thanks for your question. The proposed housing would be inclusive to everyone. Affordable Housing Societies is also in preliminary discussions to partner with a local housing provider to specifically help support adults with varying abilities (including intellectual disabilities).

    cjantzen asked over 5 years ago

    Hi there, thanks for your question.

    The seniors suites are mostly one bedroom units, ranging from approximately 590 to 670 square feet, with a few ~420 square foot studio suites, with all units being either adaptable or accessible. Basic appliances (fridge, oven/stove, dishwasher, washer/dryer hook-ups) are included, but utilities are not. In Phase One (the seniors residences), there are 64 resident parking spaces and 13 visitor parking spaces proposed.
