Owner of 1821 Marine Drive Seeks Density Increase Before Sale

Owner seeks density increase before sale.

A bid to increase the density at a Marine Drive property currently occupied by a florist was met with resistance from neighbours at a West Vancouver council meeting last week.

If council OKs the added density, the building’s floor area ratio would rise from 1.75 to 2, making the property more attractive to potential buyers. Floor area ratio measures the total floor space of a building against the size of its lot.

The future of the property, located at 1821 Marine Drive, may be too murky to make a decision, according to Coun. Bill Soprovich.
