A number of development applications have begun popping up in the West End; partially a result of the West End Community Plan that was adopted by the City of Vancouver in late 2013.

Most of these projects, including a site I sold at 1546 Nelson Street earlier this year, have an underutilized land area such as a surface parking lot or oversize backyard.

Here are  few that have come up for application this summer:

1546 Nelson Street  (sold in February for $2,050,000)

1071 Cardero Street

1529 Comox Street

Bogner Development has submitted a new rezoning application for the church property it owns in Kerrisdale at 2095 West 43rd Avenue (East Blvd and West 43rd Ave).

Bogner had filed an application in January for a 6-storey, 56-unit rental apartment building at 3.25 FSR. After community feedback, that proposal was withdrawn last month.

The new proposal is for a 4-storey condo building that includes:

• 17 residential units;
• a density of 2.30 FSR;
• commercial uses at grade; and
• 27 underground parking spaces.

Bosa Properties has submitted an application to amend the existing CD-1 zoning for 1575 West Georgia to permit a 26-storey tower on the site, currently a 3-storey office building. The plan is for:

• a 26-storey residential tower
• a density of 10.83 FSR;
• a total of 184 residential units;
• ground-level commercial space;
• three floors of office space;
• seven levels of underground parking;
• a total height of 265 ft.

An application has been made to rezone a 23,347 SF site consisting of an assembly of single family lots at 126-168 East 35th Avenue from RS-1 to CD-1. The proposal, being made under the Little Mountain Adjacent Area Rezoning Policy, is for a 6-storey apartment building and a 1-storey building along the lane that includes:

• 48 residential units;
• a density of 2.3 FAR;
• 60 underground parking spaces
