A rezoning application for a 2,752 SF site at the corner of Carrie Cates Court and Lonsdale, directly across the street from Lonsdale Quay. 1 Lonsdale Avenue is currently occupied by an italian restaurant, Gusto Di Quattro. The site has been owned by the Babalos family since 1941 and they are the developers. 

The application seeks to amend a previous CD zoning to support a new 3-storey passive house commercial building that would consist of a ground floor restaurant and two levels of office space above. Due to the site’s small size, off-street parking is not possible and the applicant is requesting a waiver.

Details of the proposal include:

• a total floor area of 6,963 SF;
• 2,159 SF of restaurant space;
• 4,804 SF of office space;
• a density of 2.53 FSR;
• a building height of 39 feet.

The architect for the project is John Hemsworth.
