27-Unit Stacked Townhouse Project Planned for Marpole Site

A development application has been submitted for a two-lot, RM-9 zoned assembly in Marpole at 333 West 63rd Avenue.  The site is bounded by West 63rd Avenue to the south, Columbia Street to the east and a lane to the north.

The plan for the property is a new 4-storey stacked townhouse development that consists of:

• 27 units;
  • 1 studio, 6 one-bedrooms, 3 two-bedrooms & 17 three-bedrooms;
• A total density of 1.88 FSR;
• A proposed height of 44 ft.;
• One level of underground parking with vehicular access from the rear lane

The application describes the building program as follows: “The project provides 27 homes ranging in size with single storey units on the ground floor and 3-storey back-to-back townhomes above. The ground floor units are smaller in size and with mostly one and two bedrooms, making them affordable for first time buyers. The townhomes were
for Marpole 63 Development LTD. by Fougere Architecture designed with families in mind providing 3 bedrooms, in-suite storage, and a rooftop patio. Some of the larger units have an additional den on the ground floor. 

Under the site’s existing RM-9 zoning, the application is “conditional” so it may be permitted; however, it requires the decision of the Director of Planning.

The architect for the project is Fougere Architecture.
