A development application has been submitted for a 12,134 SF site on East 7th Avenue, half a block West of Clark Drive in East Vancouver. The site is currently improved with three older single family homes and features a significant slope.

The application permission to develop the RM-4 zoned site with a new 5-storey stacked townhouse project that is proposed to be built to the Passive House standard. Details of the proposal include:

• 15 stacked townhouse units;
  • 7 two-bedrooms & 8 three-bedrooms;
• two buildings with a central courtyard;
• a total density of 1.52 FSR (with passive house bonuses);
• 15 parking stalls and 44 bike stalls in one level of underground.

Under the site’s existing RM-4 zoning, the application is “conditional” so it may be permitted; however, it requires the decision of the Director of Planning.
