A rezoning application has been submitted by Adera for a two-lot land assembly in the Lynn Creek area of North Vancouver (formerly known as “Lower Lynn”). The site at 1552-1568 Oxford totals 26,471 SF and is currently improved with two older single family houses. The Official Community Plan designates the site as RES Level 5: Low Density Apartment which envisions apartments at a density of up to approximately 1.75 FSR, but this proposal would amend the OCP to allow for a higher density.

The site sits adjacent the “Creekstone Care Centre” which was approved by the District of North Vancouver in January 2018 with a density of 3.1 FSR and 7-storeys in height.
The “Lynn Creek Apartments” is located to the south side of Oxford Street and includes a 6-storey rental building with a density of 3.2 FSR.

Details of the proposal include:

• 6-storey rental building;
• 88 rental units;
• A total density of 3.03 FSR;
• A total CAC of $922,000 ($11.50 per SF);
• 80 parking stalls on two levels of underground parking.

The architect for the project is Rositch Hemphill.

A rezoning application has been submitted by Marvel Group for the Travelodge site at 2050-2070 Marine Drive in North Vancouver. The site sits between two recent tower proposals – the former Earls Site to the West, and Park West to the East. The Official Community Plan (OCP) designates this site as Commercial Residential Mixed Use 2 (CRMU2).

The 1.6 acre site consists of four separate commercial parcels including:

• Travelodge Hotel
• Pho Japolo Restaurant
• Denny’s Restaurant
• Earl’s Restaurant parking lot (the restaurant itself is not part of this application, as it is located in West Vancouver)

The rezoning application for this 1.6 acre site includes:

• A 29-storey tower and two lowrise buildings;
• 264 market condo units;
• 35 affordable rental units;
• a total density of 2.75 FSR;
• A new park “Curling Park” (provided jointly between this and Park West development);
• Two floor of underground parking.

Bene Richmond Development Ltd. has applied to the City of Richmond to rezone a site at 6560 – 6700 No.3 Road from the “Downtown Commercial (CDT1)” zone to a new site-specific zone in order to permit the development of a new mixed-use development in the City Centre’s Brighouse Village. The Official Community Plan (OCP) designates the subject site as “Downtown Mixed Use”. 

The 47,286 SF site is currently improved with a single-storey strip retail plaza known as Time Square. The site sits directly across from Richmond Centre, which is currently embarking on an ambitious redevelopment plan.

The proposed project would see two residential towers (8 & 11-storeys) all above a 4-storey podium containing parking, office, retail and restaurant uses.

Details of the proposal include:

• 166 residential units (157 market and 9 affordable housing)
• 14,278 SF of retail and restaurant space;
• 33,008 SF of office space;
• A total density of 4.0 FAR.

The architect for the project is Dialog.
