Citimark has submitted a rezoning application and OCP amendment to redevelop an 8-lot single family land assembly in the Lower Capilano area of North Vancouver. The lots are located at 1886 -1956 Belle Isle Place and 2046 Curling Road, just North of Larco’s large rental development, now under construction.

The area, now called Lions Gate Village Centre, was redesignated by the District of North Vancouver in 2015 to allow for townhouse uses, and this project is the 2nd to go before council, following PC Urban who recently applied for 23 units just up the street on Glenaire Drive.

The plan is for a townhouse development that includes:

• 88 three-storey townhouses in ten separate buildings
• a density of 1.20 FSR
• a building height of 41 feet
• 163 underground parking stalls
• a community amenity contribution of $324,071
• expansion and improvement of Belle Isle Park.

The owners of a 1.7 acre site in the Maplewood Village area of North Vancouver have submitted a rezoning application and OCP amendment to redevelop the existing property, known as Maplewood Plaza.

The site is currently built as a smaller mixed use commercial plaza with two commercial spaces and 28 rental units. The site is designated Commercial Mixed Use Level 1  in the OCP which allows for densities up to 1.75 FSR. The proposed OCP amendment would change the designation for these two properties to Commercial Mixed Use Level 2 which allows for densities up to 2.50 FSR.

The proposed redevelopment is for two 6-storey buildings, including:   

• 193 units (21 townhouses and 172 lowrise units)
• 38 rental units
• 85 one-bedrooms, 99 two-bedrooms and 9 three-bedrooms
• 10,743 SF of retail space
• a total density of 2.49 FSR
• 255 underground parking stalls on two levels
• $200,000 voluntary CAC payment

The architect for the project is Rositch Hemphill.

The latest rezoning application along the Cambie Corridor is for a site at 6829-6869 Cambie Street, a 3-lot land assembly across from Langara Golf Course just North of West 54th Avenue.  The plan for the 23,385 SF site is for a 6-storey building including:

• a total of 66 condo units;
• 28 one-bedrooms, 31 two-bedrooms & 7 three-bedrooms
• a maximum building height of 69 ft.;
• a total density of 2.52 FSR; and
• a total of 103 underground parking spaces and 86 bicycle parking spaces.

The application is being considered under the Cambie Corridor Plan.

The site was acquired in 2016 for $17,575,000, or $298 per buildable SF based on the proposed density.

The architect for the project is GBL Architects.
