3113 37 Street SW – Land-Use Redesignation (H-GO)
What is Housing - Grade-Oriented (H-GO) as a land use district?
The Housing - Grade-Oriented (H-GO) district allows for diverse and flexible housing developments within inner-city communities, an efficient use of existing infrastructure and nearby amenities by providing new housing in established communities. Some influential factors include the site's location on/near a main street with a rear lane for vehicle access, its proximity to public transit, schools, and parks. Key H-GO district characteristics include:
-
Up to 5 units with secondary suites
-
Maximum building height of 12.0m
-
0.5 parking stalls per unit and suite
-
Maximum parcel coverage of 60.0%
-
Maximum floor area ratio (FAR) of 1.5
-
Close proximity to a transit network/BRT station/LRT platform
-
Must be located in a Neighbourhood Connector or Neighbourhood Flex urban form category
The below map showcases the subject parcel and the 600m radius with all of the transit in the area:
The Subject Site: 3113 37 Street SW
-
Mid-Block Site (15.23m wide x 36.56m deep)
-
Falls within Westbrook Community LAP
-
Located along 37 Street SW and 30 Avenue SW

The subject site is situated in a Neighbourhood Connector area along 37 Street SW; a main street with BRT transit access. The surroundings mainly consist of low-density residential housing from the 1950’s, and mixed developments of townhouses, apartments, and commercial use. We believe this is an ideal site for the H-GO district, aligning with both the City’s Municipal Development Plan (MDP) and the Westbrook Communities LAP.
