Rezoning Planned for Super-8 Hotel Site
After an initial inquiry earlier this year, a formal rezoning application has now been submitted for the 1.8 acre Super-8 Motel site at the corner of Fraser and SE Marine Drive in East Vancouver (formerly known as the Blue Boy Motor Hotel).
The proposed plan for 725-747 Southeast Marine Drive, owned by Serracan Properties, is to rezone the existing CD-1 zoning to a revised CD-1 to permit a mixed-use development with commercial, residential, and community uses, including public open space. The proposal includes:
- four buildings, including:
- one 22-storey building;
- one 12-storey building; and
- two 5-storey buildings
- approximately 368 residential units;
- 15,500 SF of retail space at grade;
- a 37-space childcare facility (4,760 SF);
- public open space on site;
- a total density of 3.98 FSR;
- maximum building heights from 59 ft. to 207 ft; and
- 377 vehicle parking spaces.
The application is being considered under the Sunset Community Vision. Serracan and the City of Vancouver held numerous open houses and public feedback sessions with the local community as part of an exhaustive preliminary planning and pre-application process.
