Mammoth North Van Tower Plan to go to Town Hall meeting

Mammoth North Van tower plan to go to town hall meeting.

A developer with plans for a major project on the 13th Street and Lonsdale Avenue Safeway site has received city council’s OK to restart a public consultation process, despite objection that the plans are still too big.

Onni Group first brought their plans to council in December of 2010, asking to build three 180-foot condominium towers above three storeys of commercial space. The complex would have produced floor space 5.765 times the lot area — more than twice the 2.6 ratio the official community plan currently allows.
