A rezoning application has been filed by Larco with the District of West Vancouver for the former Whitespot property at the Southwest corner of Marine and Taylor Way, part of Park Royal South. The rezoning had been proposed several times over the past six years, but was ultimately facilitated by the City’s passage of the Marine Drive Local Area Plan in 2017. The combined 2.3 acre site includes fee simple lands, as well as leasehold lands belonging to Squamish First Nation.
The proposed plan includes two residential buildings as well as commercial space. Details include:
- two buildings of 11 and 14-storeys in height;
- 203 total units including:
- 143 condo units
- 60 rental units (49 market and 11 non-market);
- 20,000 SF of retail space (plus 9,800 SF of retail on SFN lands);
- 3,900 SF of childcare space;
- a total density of 2.25 FAR;
- a 3,100 SF public plaza;
- 251 underground parking spaces.
The architect for the project is DIALOG.
