A development application has been submitted under a new zone created by the West End Community Plan (“WECP”) which was adopted one year ago. This new RM-5D zone permits a density of 7.0 FSR and allows market residential if social housing is provided. The proposed development by Intracorp is for a 17,303 SF site at the Northwest corner of Davie Street at Jervis St.

This is the first sizable development application to be submitted under the WECP, and does not require rezoning since this area of Davie Village was rezoned by policy amendment as part of the WECP.

The tower component as proposed is intended to be market housing, while the podium is mostly comprised of affordable, city owned non-market housing, with a small commercial retail shop on the corner.The plan for this site calls for:

• A 19-storey tower
• 62 market residential units and 28 social housing units
• 1 retail unit at grade
• 114 underground parking stalls
• A height of 190 ft.
• Density of 6.61 FSR (114,372 SF)

Aquilini Group has applied to rezone a 33,746 SF site at the Southwest corner of West 2nd and Main Street known most commonly as the Maynards building. The plan calls for a rezone from IC-2  District to CD-1 to permit a 12-storey mixed-use building that includes:

• 223 units;
• 30 secured non-market rental units;
• 13,000 SF of ground floor retail
• artist production space of approximately 3,500 SF
• a density of 5.50 FSR;
• 297 underground parking spaces.

The design of the project is intended to meet the guidelines of the Mount Pleasant Community Plan.

The site was assembled over several years between 2008 and 2012.

A development application has been submitted for a full city block at West Boulevard and West 48th Avenue that was bought by Cressey last year for $17,100,000. The plan for the over 34,000 SF, C-2 zoned site includes:

• 37 condo units (averaging 1,600 SF each)
• 26,100 SF of retail space
• A total density of 2.50 FSR (85,300 SF)
• 179 underground parking stalls on two levels
