First Cambie Phase 3 Townhouse Application Seeks 30 Units

The first townhouse development application has come forward under the Cambie Corridor Phase 3 Plan, which was adopted by city council in the summer of 2018. Close to 1,000 lots were designated for townhouse development, with a small portion rezoned to RM-8A by the City as a first ‘zone’ for immediate development.

Redekop Kroeker Development has applied to the City of Vancouver for permission to develop a 5-single family lot land assembly on West 29th Avenue is just West of Cambie Street. The site at 535 West 29th Avenue is 34,761 SF in size.

The plan for the site is for eight 2 & 3-storey courtyard rowhouse buildings, and includes:

• 30 three bedroom units;
• a total density of 1.20 FSR;
• total building height of 38 ft.;
• 42 parking spaces on one underground level.

Under the site’s existing RM-8A 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 Gateway Architecture.
