Before things quiet down at the City during August, several rezoning applications are looking to be referred to their final review at public hearing:
7350 Fraser Street
The plan for this site on Fraser Street is to rezone from RT-2 to CD-1 to allow a 6-storey rental building under Rental 100 that includes 96 rental units and a total density of 2.61 FSR.
7790 Cambie Street
This tiny site is seeking rezoning to allow a 6-storey rental building that includes 27 rental units and a total density of 2.70 FSR.
The site is only 8,250 SF in size.
357, 375 & 391 West King Edward Ave
This Cambie Corridor site is planned for a residential development consisting of one 4-storey building and 2-storey townhouses along the lane with 41 market residential units and a total density of 1.88 FSR.
3503-3523 East Hastings Street
The plan for this site at Hastings and Skeena (near Boundary Rd) is to rezone from C-2C1 to allow a 6-storey rental building under Rental 100 with 87 units and retail at grade. The density is 3.95 FSR.
601 West Hastings Street
Morguard is indeed planning to move forward with their rezoning plan for 601 West Hastings Street (also referred to as 333 Seymour Street) to retain the existing office tower, and build a new 25-storey office tower.
The new tower would have a total area of 227,714 SF, which equates to a 24.34 FSR.
These applications will likely receive their public hearing after Council’s August break.
This is a small infill development in Fairview. It replaces a house that in turn was once the Purdy’s Chocolate Factory. The factory moved away in 1982, and the former factory became home to a live-work studio for both artist Mary Filer, a glass sculptor, and her husband Harold Spence-Sales, an urban planner. The replacement, designed by Gateway Architecture, will have a five-storey, six-unit residential building that follows the slope of the site by terracing down five storeys.
