A rezoning application has been filed for a site at 117-125 West 23rd Street, between Lonsdale and Chesterfield Avenue in the City of North Vancouver. The site, currently occupied by two duplexes and a single family house, is identified in the City’s OCP as Residential Level 5, which allows a density up to 2.60 FSR.

The plan for the 15,990 SF site is to rezone to allow a new 5-storey condo building that includes:

• 40 condo units;
• 7 one-bedrooms, 28 two-bedrooms & 5 three-bedrooms;
• a total density of 2.35 FSR;
• one level of underground parking with 34 stalls.

The application describes the design rationale of the project: “The proposed building would have a contemporary west coast design, with a mix of glass, lapped siding, and masonry materials. The massing of the five storey woodframe building would be broken down into a one-storey base, a three-storey mid-section and a one-storey top level expression.”

The architect for the project is Raymond Letkeman Architects.

We are pleased to introduce this 18,654 SF site in Marpole which is zoned to allow up to 4-storeys, 2.0 FSR. The site enjoys a great location on a quiet street just steps to the Marine Gateway Skytrain Station. Contact us for further details.

A development application has been filed with the City of Vancouver for permission to develop a site at 2238 Yukon Street, at the corner of West 6th Avenue. Currently the site is occupied by a vacant, single storey retail store which will be demolished.

The plan is for a new 4-storey, mixed-use building with manufacturing use located on the 1st and 2nd storeys and general office use located on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th storeys, consisting of:

• a total of 54,492 SF of floor space;
• a density of 3.0 FSR;
• a total building height of 60 ft.;
• 3 levels of underground parking with vehicular access from the lane.

The application describes the design rationale: “The building’s massing is divided into two volumes, anchored by two vertical towers housing the stairs. The southwest tower includes a glazed wall to the feature stair, providing visibility of animation throughout the day. Adjacent to this and following the verticality, a glazed recess marks the main entrance on Yukon Street. The fin walls of the towers will be clad in brick, referencing the masonry cladding material of the neighbouring BC Hydro building and the industrial context.”

Under the site’s existing I-1 zoning, the application is “conditional” so it may be permitted; however, it requires the decision of the Director of Planning.
