The City of Vancouver has received a rezoning application for the Turner’s Dairy property, a commercial/industrial building built in 1913 and located at the southwest corner of Ontario Street and West 17th Avenue in Vancouver. The RS-7 zoned site is 11,812 SF.

The building was bought in 1978 by the Hemani family and converted to a manufacturing space for the family business: leather goods, and has operated there since that time.

The rezoning proposal is for the adaptive reuse of the existing 3-storey building, including:

• heritage restoration and designation;
• a total of 13 market residential units in stacked/courtyard rowhouse form;
• a total density of 1.82 FSR;
• a building height of 35 ft.;
• 20 vehicle parking spaces; and
• 18 bicycle spaces.

The rezoning is being made under the City’s Heritage Policies and Guidelines, including the Heritage Action Plan

The architect for the project is ASIR Studio.

A 5th lot has been added to this land assembly that we launched last week. The total site area is now 39,195 SF, and is located in the Cambie Corridor Phase 3 area with a townhouse designation.

The lots will be pre-zoned by the City of Vancouver once the Phase 3 Plan has been adopted by City of Vancouver Council in late 2017/early 2018.

Boffo Developments has submitted an application to rezone a 4.12 acre site at Lougheed and Springer in the Eastern part of the Brentwood Town Centre area of Burnaby. The site is currently comprised of five older industrial buildings located near the Holdom Skytrain Station. The current zoning is M-2.

• Four residential towers from 25 to 40-storeys;
• Above-ground parking screened by street fronting townhouses;
• Extension of Lougheed Parkway concept along South side of Lougheed Hwy;
