District of North Vancouver council adopted a plan for future development in Lynn Valley Town Centre Monday night that allows for building heights of between eight and 12 storeys to be considered in key locations.
Council unanimously passed the plan that calls for most building heights to be limited to five storeys, but allows up to eight storeys on several “strategic” parcels, including land on the north side of East 27th Street between Lynn Valley Road and Mountain Highway and two blocks that abut the corner of Kirkstone Park.
Council will also consider buildings up to 12 storeys on a “case by case” basis. The decision Monday night came after a long and emotional process, which has seen residents split on what kind of density and height they’d like to see in the centre of Lynn Valley.
Prior to the vote Monday, a number of residents spoke both for and against the plan for increased density.
