A rezoning application has been submitted for a site at 5163-5187 Joyce St. in the Joyce-Collingwood area of East Vancouver.
The proposal is to allow for the development of a 32-storey mixed use building with commercial use at grade and a proposed public library occupying the entire 2nd floor.
The City of Vancouver is considering new guidelines for height and density that would impact approximately 40 properties around Marine and Cambie in South Vancouver that have potential for social housing or commercial/industrial development.
The area has been the subject of guidelines under both the Marpole Community Plan and Cambie Corridor Plan; however, more recent decisions by Council have directed staff to review the area for new guidelines. These decisions include:
In February 2020, Council directed staff to consider rezoning enquiries and applications for social housing sites around the Marine Drive Station area beyond the heights envisioned in the Marpole Community Plan to address Council’s affordable housing priorities (PDF).
In October 2020, Council also supported intensification of job space in key areas, including Marine Landing, through the Employment Lands and Economy Review (ELER) (PDF). Intensive employment sites in Marine Landing that deliver 100% job space projects with a multi-storey light industrial space may be considered for greater heights and/or densities than identified in the Marpole Community Plan and Cambie Corridor Plan.
The new analysis of the areas planning guidelines will provide new direction for building heights, densities, public realm improvements, built form and urban design, public amenities and upgrades to utilities and public transportation.
Ledingham McAllister has submitted a rezoning bylaw amendment application to proceed with development of the next phase of Southgate City, the massive redevelopment project on the 52 acre site in the Edmonds area of South Burnaby.
Southgate City was approved via rezoning for a master plan in 2015 to include up to 5.9 Million SF of residential density. This particular phase had a rezoning application in 2016, however, that application did not proceed and the City of Burnaby’s Rental Use Zoning Policy now applies to the overall master plan of the project.
This first phase is located in the Gateway Neighbourhood, comprising two City-owned lots that will form the Western entrance to the overall master planned site.
The site will be divided into three lots: the City will retain ownership of Lot B, the eastern lot fronting Eighteenth Street, and lease it to BC Housing for development of non-market rental housing. The City would also retain ownership of the western lot fronting Griffiths Avenue, which would include an urban trail and park. The central lot, Lot A, which is to front the future Southgate Boulevard, is intended to be the subject of a land exchange between the City and Ledingham for an equally sized and designated site within the remaining Southgate Master Plan. The central lot would be developed by Ledingham for a condo tower.
The plan includes a 41-storey condo tower over a six-storey podium, and a 37 storey non-market residential tower over a six-storey podium. Further details include:
