James Schouw and Associates has applied to the City of Vancouver for permission to develop on a 6,098 SF site next to Beedie’s controversial project at Keefer and Columbia. The plan for the existing vacant site is for a 10-storey mixed-use building with commercial uses on the first two floors and residential uses above. The proposal includes :
- 33 residential units;
- total floor area of 49,323 SF;
- 8,000 SF of commercial space;
- building height of approximately 88 ft.; and
- 3 levels of underground parking containing 39 parking spaces.
The plan also calls for the commercial space to have frontage on both the Keefer side and the laneway.
Under the site’s existing HA-1A zoning, the application is “conditional” so it may be permitted; however, it requires the decision of the Director of Planning.
