Rezoning of Turner’s Dairy Property Includes 13 Units

The City of Vancouver has received a rezoning application for the Turner’s Dairy property, a commercial/industrial building built in 1913 and located at the southwest corner of Ontario Street and West 17th Avenue in Vancouver. The RS-7 zoned site is 11,812 SF.

The building was bought in 1978 by the Hemani family and converted to a manufacturing space for the family business: leather goods, and has operated there since that time.

The rezoning proposal is for the adaptive reuse of the existing 3-storey building, including:

  • heritage restoration and designation;
  • a total of 13 market residential units in stacked/courtyard rowhouse form;
  • a total density of 1.82 FSR;
  • a building height of 35 ft.;
  • 20 vehicle parking spaces; and
  • 18 bicycle spaces.
