As mentioned in previous updates, at a special council meeting on September 9th, Council reconsidered and adopted the bylaw that designates the Mission City West Coast Express Station as a Transit-Oriented Area (TOA), after defeating the bylaw during the September 3rd regular council meeting.  

Additional information can be found in the full report by City staff. 

June 6th, 2024 

On May 21st, Council deferred the first, second and third readings of the Transit-Oriented Area (TOA) designation. This designation identifies the Mission City West Coast Express Station subject to development Tier 4 & 5 categories for minimum allowable density and height. 

Council expressed concerns with the absence of parking requirements and inability to negotiate density bonusing in the designated Transit Oriented Area. As such, a motion to defer the readings until Council can engage in discussions with the Housing Ministry regarding their concerns with the legislation was unanimously approved.  

More information can be found in the full report by City staff and in the Council meeting minutes (commencing at the 2:06:25 mark).
