Marpole Proposal Turns 4 Single Family Houses into 18 Townhouses

A development proposal in Marpole for a 21,160 SF at West 63rd Avenue and Manitoba is taking advantage of gentle densification now permitted in the Marpole Community Plan.

The proposal by Belford Properties anticipates turning four single family lots, recently rezoned by the City to RM-8 zoning, into 18 townhouse units in two rows of buildings above one level of underground parking. Nine of the units fronting the lane have basement-units that can be locked off for separate suites. The maximum allowable density in the RM-8 zone is 1.20 FSR.

• The site is 184′ x 115′
• The gross buildable area is 25,518 SF
