A dual-frontage land assembly in Vernon, BC, positioned within the City of Vernon Urban Neighbourhood growth framework with MUM zoning already in place but the biggest opportunity is a rezoning to MSH.

This is not just a two-lot residential sale. It is a policy-aligned infill opportunity in one of Vernon's growth areas, where existing medium-scale multi-unit zoning, community collector frontage, and proximity to arterial movement patterns create a stronger redevelopment conversation.
With MUM zoning already in place, the site supports medium-scale multi-unit housing up to 4 storeys as-of-right. Vernon's OCP also supports consideration of buildings up to 6 storeys in Urban Neighbourhood locations within 200 m of major streets, transit corridors, transit stops, parks, or multi-use paths, subject to City review.
Vernon's OCP identifies a clear need for compact, serviceable growth inside existing urban neighbourhoods. The city is planning for more housing choice, better use of existing infrastructure, and growth patterns that reduce pressure on outward expansion.
That makes this site important. It is not density for density's sake. It is the right housing form in a location already connected to streets, services, and Vernon's long-term growth direction.
Land assemblies often begin with one or two properties, but the strongest development sites are created when neighbouring owners understand the bigger picture. If you own nearby property, you may not need to sell today to understand whether your land could become more valuable as part of a future assembly.
This is an information-first conversation, not a pressure tactic. It helps you understand how frontage, zoning, site depth, access, and neighbouring parcels can influence future land value.
The Vernon 30 Avenue land assembly is a two-property development opportunity at 4005 and 4007 30 Avenue in Vernon, BC. The combined site is approximately 0.51 acres, with all dimensions, frontage, depth, and site area to be independently verified.
The current zoning is MUM, or Multi-Unit: Medium Scale. This zoning supports medium-scale multi-unit housing up to 4 storeys, with a maximum density of 1.25 FAR, subject to City of Vernon zoning regulations.
Vernon's Official Community Plan appears to support consideration of buildings up to 6 storeys in Urban Neighbourhood areas located near major streets, transit corridors, transit stops, parks, or multi-use paths. Any rezoning would require City of Vernon review and approval.
The site is not being represented as a designated Transit-Oriented Area. However, 30 Avenue is classified as a community collector, 32 Avenue is an arterial road, and the property sits within a broader growth and mobility context identified by Vernon's OCP.
The OCP matters because it shows where Vernon expects future growth to occur. For developers, this helps connect the property's current zoning, future rezoning potential, housing need, and broader community planning direction.
Frontage affects site access, building design, parking strategy, servicing, and overall redevelopment flexibility. A dual-frontage assembly can create a stronger planning and design conversation than an isolated single lot.
No. The renderings are illustrative concepts only. They show what a future development form could potentially look like, but they are not approved plans, architectural drawings, or guaranteed density outcomes.
All site areas, frontage, depth, dimensions, development calculations, FAR estimates, and visual concepts are approximate and must be independently verified by the buyer. Renderings are illustrative only and are not approved development plans. Final density, height, parking, setbacks, unit count, FAR, and development form are subject to City of Vernon review and approval.
