6.1 FSR
6.3 Building Heights
Floor space ratios are based on the CD-1 zoning district amendment proposed for the Town
Square Precinct of the East Fraser Lands. This is a significant mixed use project with similar
sustainability goals, and, we feel, forms a viable precedent for rezoning of Marine Gateway on
Canada Line.
Building heights are determined by the determination of a common plane to which the individual buildings on the site are referenced*. This plane, the average of the spot elevations at each
corner of the site, is 9.04 m (30 feet) above sea level. The building heights are:
The total areas for all building uses is 97,084 sm (935,600 sf). The total site area is 19,530 sm
(210,219 sf). This is the gross site area including the transit right-of-ways.
The FSR for the project is: 4.45

open to below spaces in two storey retail units up to a maximum of 30% of the floor area of
the first floor; and

FSR overlays, as required for CD-1 rezoning applications will be submitted at a later date and
after consultation with Planning department staff.
