A development application has been filed for a new midrise apartment tower on a 125′ x 150′ lot at the Southwest corner of West 10th and Oak, just West of Vancouver General Hospital. The site is zoned RM-3 and so does not require rezoning. The proposal for 1002 West 10th Avenue includes a 12-storey apartment building, consisting of:

• 62 rental units
• A total density of 1.78 FSR (33,350 SF);
• a building height of 116.86 ft.; and
• 25 underground parking spaces, having vehicular access from the lane.

Under the site’s existing RM-3 zoning, the application is “conditional” so it may be permitted; however, it requires the decision of the Director of Planning.

The architect for the project is Iredale Group Architecture.

I4 Property Group has applied to the City of New Westminster for a rezoning and to facilitate the development of a 15,254 SF site at 408-412 East Columbia Street, near Royal Columbian Hospital.

• 12,100 SF of office space on the second storey.

The previous OCP designation for the site is CM Commercial Main Street, which allows commercial uses at street level and office or residentail uses above. Densities in this zone are medium to high. Under the new OCP, the site is “Mixed-Use Low Rise”, allowing buildings up to 6-storeys in height.
