BACKGROUND SITE BACKGROUND W 38th Ave • The site is 5.6 hectares (13.8 acres). • Existing zoning is single-family use (RS-1) which allows up to 2.5 storeys, and density up to 0.6 FSR. t OTC S t S • The Oakridge Langara Policy Statement (OLPS), approved in Lane Lane w k o a l O SITE l i 1995, supported a range of housing types from townhouses W to mid-rise forms with an overall density of 0.9 - 1.0 FSR, and development of a new neighbourhood park. W 41st Ave HISTORY + USES • The site was used as an army barracks until it was converted to a transit centre in August 1948. • At its peak, the OTC was home to 244 trolley and 182 diesel buses, and over 1,200 staff. • Most services were moved out in 2006 when the Vancouver Transit Centre was completed on the Eburne Lands in South Vancouver. • Today the OTC is used temporarily for community shuttle services, commissioning and decommissioning of buses, and storage. FUTURE OF THE SITE • In February 2014, City Council approved a planning program to create a new vision for the OTC site, which will explore building heights and densities beyond what was contemplated in the OLPS.
