Anthem Properties has submitted a rezoning and development permit application for a 5-lot land assembly in the Maplewood Village area of North Vancouver. The site at 2049-2059 Heritage Park Lane, is located just South of Mt. Seymour Parkway and just West of Seymour River Place, in the northwest corner of the Maplewood Village Centre. Maplewood Farms is directly south of the property.

Anthem also completed the 61 unit project adjacent to the site in 2015, called Maplewood Place.

The Official Community Plan designates the site as RES Level 4: Transition
Multifamily (1.2 FSR).

The proposal is for a 3-4 storey townhouse development that includes:

• 39 units;
• 10 two-bedrooms, 20 three-bedrooms & 9 four-bedrooms;
• a total density of 1.20 FAR;
• rehabilitation of Maplewood Creek along the north frontage;
• relocation and rehabilitation of Maplewood Creek within Maplewood Farm;
• A community amenity contribution of $697,041 ($13.00 per SF);
• 70 parking spaces on one underground level.

The architect for the project is Ekistics Architecture.

A development application has been filed for a site at 7549-7575 Oak Street in the Marpole area of Vancouver, just south of West 59th Avenue. The assembly of four single family lots is currently zoned RM-8N.

The proposal is for a stacked townhouse development, including:

• • 31 units (all 2-4 bedroom units);
  • a total density of 1.20 FSR;
  • four buildings having a partial third storey and one building having a two-storey height;
  • maximum building heights of 37.7 ft.; and
  • a total of 32 parking spaces and 39 bicycle spaces on site.

Under the site’s existing RM-8N zoning, the application is “conditional” so it may be permitted; however, it requires the decision of the Director of Planning.

The application describes the design rationale: “Given the site depth almost doubling other Vancouver standard lots, we have introduced stacked townhouses, back-to-back stacked townhouses in combination of courtyard rowhouses typologies to this development. The diversity of the development allows more housing choices and increases the affordability without compromising the livability of the units.”

The architect for the project is Gradual Architecture Inc.

The site was acquired in early 2018 for $14,977,000, or $488 per buildable SF based on the application.

A rezoning application has been submitted for a site at 173 & 177 West 6th Street (corner of Chesterfield and West 6th) to rezone the properties from a Medium Density Apartment Residential 1 (RM-1) zone to a Comprehensive Development zone to allow redevelopment of this 14,008 SF site that is an assembly of an older 10-unit apartment building and a 3-unit townhouse.

The site has an OCP designation of Residential Level 5 that allows for a density of 1.6 Floor Space Ratio (FSR) and a potential for an additional bonus of up to 1.0 FSR, in accordance with the City’s Density Bonus and Community Benefits Policy. 

The proposal calls for a new 6-storey rental building on the site including:

• 48 rental units;
• 28 one-bedrooms, 15 two-bedrooms and 5 three-bedrooms;
• Includes 5 townhouse units along Chesterfield;
• A total density of 2.60 FSR;
• 35 underground parking stalls.

The architect for the project is Rafii Architects.
