53-Unit Building Proposed for New Westminster
A rezoning and development permit application has been received in order to allow the development of a 14,000 SF site at the corner of Sixth Street and Welsh Street in the Uptown Area of New Westminster. It is currently improved with two older vacant commercial buildings. The address for the project is 228-232 Sixth Street.
The site was originally the subject of a rezoning application in 2015, but was subsequently sold and the application has been revised.
The current plan calls for a 6-storey woodframe building, including:
- 53 condo units;
- 21 one-bedrooms, 21 two-bedrooms and 11 three-bedrooms;
- a total density of 3.78 FSR;
- a building height of 64.17 feet;
- 66 parking spaces on 3 underground levels.
The rezoning application entails changing the zoning of the property from Community Commercial Districts (High Rise) (C-3A) to a new Comprehensive Development District
(CD). The Development Permit application is to facilitate a review of the form and character of the proposal in accordance with Official Community Plan Development Permit Area Guidelines.
The architect for the project is Denis Turco.
