A Queensborough church is seeking rezoning to meet its needs.
St. Joseph Damascene Antiochian Orthodox Church wants to rezone 1308 and 1310 Ewen Ave. in Queensborough so it can build a two-storey place of worship.
A City of New Westminster staff report states the ground floor would includes space for a parish hall, kitchen, office, washrooms and Sunday school, while the second floor would provide a worship area.
The staff report states the site consists of two lots and the church is already using the 2,324-square-foot building on the site. The new building would provide 5,472 square feet on the ground floor and 3,121 square feet on the second floor.
Council will consider a bylaw that would establish a comprehensive development district for the site and rezone the property.
A public hearing will be held on June 17.
